#2 The Green Socialists will be all over this fighting it because that's what they do. Never mind that more green in the terrain means more oxygen and less CO2... the Green movement is not about making life better for humans, it is about draconian government power and anti-human rhetoric.

#5 This was purposed 40+ years ago .

But IF successful it would add about 44.4 million acres of possible food and cotton growing land to the region.

Add To This
Sometime around 2050, the population of Africa will be 2.5 to 3 times larger than it is now. Given Sub Saharan Africa has many parts already striving now.

This means 3x more food will be needed or starvation and deaths of of millions. Likely resulting growing land wars. All of which will decimate the Sub Saharan Africa area.

Questions:
1. How much of the +/- 680,000 gallons per second would be stolen that is dumped into the Mediterranean Sea (Med) to irrigate 44+ Million acres?

2. How would that affect the Med coastal sharing countries? Would Venice see some sea level drop? Would some Med Seaports have to be closed or deepened?

3. IF any food is grown would it be available to the Sub Shara Africa countries?

#6 Much of the area depicted on the map is covered by a sand sea to the east and desert pavement to the west. The Israelis did a good job with drip irrigtion in settlements near the Mediterranean. The prospects farther to the south are really very very questionable. Perhaps the Dutch plan on using the same engineers who did the miserable job on the Palm Islands of Dubai.

#7 the only thing you can predict here is that if it is successful and then you turn it back over to moslem control, it will shortly return to being a desert

#8 So if the Sinai can be regreened, I most certainly can be boinked by Margot Robbie. Thou unrealistic, I will continue with my visions.
