Mass tree planting in China is turning one of the world’s largest and driest deserts into a carbon sink, meaning it absorbs more carbon from the atmosphere than it emits, new research reveals.
“We found, for the first time, that human-led intervention can effectively enhance carbon sequestration in even the most extreme arid landscapes, demonstrating the potential to transform a desert into a carbon sink and halt desertification,” study co-author Yuk Yung, a professor of planetary science at Caltech and a senior research scientist in NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told Live Science in an email.
You yourself seem to have a weird hard-on for bringing up Uighurs arbitrarily when it has zero to do with the subject of the post. Perhaps then you shouldn’t throw stones in your glass house and accuse others of waiting to arbitrarily pounce on the word “Xin Jiang”, when you obviously do the same thing for the word “China”.
Argue your point instead of automatically assuming everyone who doesn’t agree with you is a Chinese plant. That just makes you look whiny and weak, and brings no one around to your standpoint.
It’s always deflection with your type, sn’t it…
Instead of owning up to the crimes against humanity and standing with your fellow man, it’s “go look in your own backyard! !!! Don’t watch what we’re doing to minorities!!!” Complemented with minsofrmation and disinformation campaigns.
And yes, I have a hard-on for holding countries to account for their human rights abuses, but go off queen, tell me how I look weak and whiny while you simp for billionaires who’ll throw you in the gulag before they get held accountable.
