Why don't we dig a big canal to create an inland sea in North Africa? The whole world would benefit. It would change the entire climate of the region.
Alternatiely why not cover the Sahara in solar panels?
You have to go over us first :)
We will never abandon our ancestors

pls explain yourself on this ancenstor thing
Because it'd cost trillions of dollars, if not over a quadrillion
>>78507069
It would also lower the sea levels making the solar ice caps melting less of a threat
>>78507664
nasa data shows that the sea level dropped anyway over the last decades.

Did they say what was the reason for that?

I stopped swimming

kek
>>78507917
i wouldn't know. i only checked the the measuring.
>>78508029
underrated

romans tried to link that big lake with the med and make an inland sea but failed
>>78508436
You should finish what they started
>>78509059
it's scientifically impossible i think
>>78509174
Why not

Who is 'we'?
>>78509059
Why don't YOU people do it, it's your countries and there's enough resources in the Arab world
>>78509511
Fuck off I'm not the one who made the thread

The "inland sea" is chatt el jerid, a salt lake that is dry half of the year, besides, the whole thing is over sea level, the lake would still act independantly even if there's a sea canal passing through.

see the flag you idiot, he responded to a Tunisian talking about Tunisia
>there's enough resources in the Arab world
Tunisia and Morocco have no oil, Algeria only has access to the med, we need to feed everyone and provide them with good infrastructure before gambling on some vaguely beneficial terraforming projects

The Qattara Depression Project, or shortly the Qattara Project, is a concept for a large civil engineering project in Egypt, rivaling the Aswan High Dam, intended to develop the Qattara Depression by flooding it.[1] So depression is a region that lies below sea level and is currently a vast desert. By connecting the region and the Mediterranean Sea with tunnels and/or canals, water could be let into the area. The inflowing water would then evaporate quickly because of the desert climate. This way a continuous flow of water could be created if inflow and evaporation were balanced out. With this continuously flowing water hydroelectricity could be generated. Eventually this would result in a hypersaline lake or a salt pan as the water evaporates and leaves the salt it contains behind.
The proposals call for a large canal or tunnel being excavated of about 55 to 80 kilometres (34 to 50 mi) depending on the route chosen to the Mediterranean Sea to bring seawater into the area.[2] Or otherwise a 320 kilometre (200 mile) pipeline north-east to the freshwater Nile River at Rosetta.[3][4] For comparison, the nearby Suez Canal is currently 193 kilometres in length.[5] By balancing the inflow and evaporation the lake level can be held constant. Several proposed lake levels are -70, -60, -50 and -20 m. Flooding the depression to -20 m would lower the height of the world ocean by 2.16 millimeters.[6]
