As an Australian, I’m calling bulls**t on this video. Many claims are made, but no sources for those claims are provided. It sounds like someone’s fantasy, rather than a genuine plan.
Make sure to get Miyawaki forest method style….companies that cut trees should totally adopt this method. When replanting trees at least if it were the law lol
Pretty sure we can fix that by growing salt tolerant plants to lower the water table. Then rain, when we get it, will flush the salt from the soil. Then other plants will be able to grow. The more trees we grow, the more consistent rain will become. Trees can create their own rain by transpiration. It will take time, but it is definitely achievable.
You should watch bindoon creek, an how it all started, this older guy turned a deserted bit of landscape into a flourishing wetland, idk how his work isn't more published, it went from once a dried up creek to an almost river now, he manages to somehow keep his entire property green with moisture buildup under the soil in the middle of a drought out in the harsh country
Water usage from the artisan basin is pretty much on the limit, as noted in the video there are some initiatives to conserve water, however it won't be anything near enough to green the outback
How many million tons of oranges did riverina farms dump last week because they had minor blemishes and the supermarkets rejected them , in favor of unblemished ones imported from China?
Please tell me how any million tons rather than leaving it all up in the air, otherwise it is a pointless thing to say. Come on, how many million tons.
3:02 What you are referring to is the Bradfield project. It has been on the table since the 1920s and science didn't deem it unviable back then, politics and finances did. Only now has our current state Premier, Anastacia Palazschuk put the foot down and put this project into the start of construction as a "now or never" project due to the constant increases of cost. The plan is to redirect the water from the gulf areas down towards the south west to then allow the water to flow down rivers that went through drought due to El Nino in the 2010s, such as the Warrego and Condamine rivers.
I heard that the previous attempt failed because evaporation rates hadn't been miscalculated.. They've made great strides since then. I do hope so- yours A well wushing Pommy bast..d visitor from the 70's.
This will be a disaster unless some highly experienced folks such as Geoff Lawton and Alan Savory are involved. Irrigation agriculture in Outback Australia will lead to a huge salinity problem. Folks would be best to go with Syntropic Agroforestry or the Alan Savory method, if they did that, this entire country could be a lush paradise within just a few years!
Monocropping causes the soil to deteriorate. Are soil restoration practices being put to use? Australia has a great tradition of Permaculture; these biodiverse farms are highly productive and grow nutrient dense, organic produce. Think about sustainability and health, not just profit!
Just imagine what would happen if we piped our grey water into the outback to be used for irrigation instead of wasting it by pumping it into the oceans.
I think it’d be way easier to just replant Victoria and NSW deforested areas that have been turned into cattle farms, and use that cattle farm land to create tree plantations to slow deforestation and plant fruit trees. And then either decrease the amount of cattle farms or move the, into more arid areas and natural grasslands so they won’t have to destroy trees to house cows and sheep. Turning dessert into forest is near impossible.
That would be terrible. Grasslands actually remove more carbon than forests . But planting more trees everywhere helps including cities but reducing the amount
As carbon in the atmosphere slowly rises our inland desert are getting greener,we are getting higher rainfall and grass lands are thriving.There is so much bs being taught in out university's about our climate and environment which is alarmist and incorrect
There is myth that "Australia Felix " was covered in trees. It just isn't so. I cannot remember his name, but an ecologist, worried about tree loss used paintings and photos of landscape of early Australia to try and set some sort of benchmark for the amount existing from the 1800 20000 To his consternation his research discovered that the forests the greenies and other talk about never existed, and the reason was that Aboriginal people needed grassed areas with a band of tree around them. The kangaroos were eating grass in the middle, the trees shielded the hunters. Yes, their were trees but they were in large rings around marsupial pasture and along water courses, not as thick forests. NB Thisapplies for the western plains of Victoria NSW and SA.
Employ various low tech methods to keep the water on the land longer. Giant Swales, and retention ponds connecting very slow and curving streams and rivers. Try not to loose any of the seasonal rains to runoff. Build "leaky" dams in dry creek beds to catch and hold and let the water catch and hold on down the creek bed, and cut paths for the overflow to vent sideways into shallow streams. Planting rushes and water tolerant trees along the creek to encourage the area around the creeks to store carbon in the root of complex creek ecosystems will give the area an appearance of a temperate climate and will reduce the heat and wind destruction of the land.
One of the biggest lies told to Australians is that the original inhabitants were some kind of noble land stewards, the reality is they burnt down everything in sight over the course of 50,000 years and turned a forested continent into mostly desert.
55% of Australia is used for farming most of that grazing.... Australia produces enough food for about 80 million people. 18% of Australia is desert, but 30 to 35 is classified as semiarid. 70% of Australia is grassland 12% to at best 17% is open woodlands and forest...
Its an idea I had as a kid when I was 10yrs old. Getting water to the middle isnt impossible. Salt water is already there. Keeping the water there and making it rainforest is a long term goal. If you don't know what your are doing and know nothing about agriculture then this is all a very hard thing to think about. However in 500- 1000 years the sun will kill most plants so must get into space quick.
It amuses me that the commentator talks about Australia doing this or that, as if somehow the government "owns" the agricultural industry, like in China. The truth is that our agriculture is owned and managed by thousands of small and large concerns. There is no one size fits all, and it is driven by market forces and sustainable viability. In South Australia I led a project to cap the Artesian Bores in the Lake Eyre region - some owners said yes, others said no even though a mining company picked up the tab. Australian farmers are fiercely independent and will not be pushed around by government, or anyone else.

There is some good thoughts at the core but how they are capitalizing on this resource is a problem. What they're proposing will exacerbate salty water/land problems. The Aussie government needs to quit these stupid grand plans and opt for more practical ones. The farmers need to quit the conventional monoculture/annual/chemical/bare earth model as well. They need more frequent, localized and decentralized rainwater harvesting solutions. This puts rainwater in the ground where plants need it without leaving it as vulnerable to evaporation. If they utilized local plants, or plants naturally well-adapted to the challenging drought/flood conditions, the Asian markets would use that. Asians are very adaptable to incorporating new foods and do it well in abundance. Like your commentary on this subject. Glad it avoided being duped by the government's faulty solution. One thing your video missed is that their aquifer is spitting out water that is salty and it is harming irrigation/conventional crops, among other things .
@@theprimest Think that farmers need to be taught the benefits of polycultures, healthy soil biota, localized rainwater harvesting, etc. Big businesses (especially) ought to be discouraged from exploitative land practices.

I saw somewhere the biggest issue is the mountain range running down the east coast. Rain comes from the east and gets blocked by mountains 'causing' deserts on the west side of the mountain range. Sustainable farming is definitely becoming important as more and more people are showing the long term benefits to the land. Beyond that, the video was just a lot of wishful thinking.
I live 200km west of the great dividing range in southernQueensland, it is a 600 mm annual average rainfall where I live , most of our weather systems move from west to east , low level moisture is pushed westward from the eastern sea board into these systems triggering rainfall, biggest problem is the erradic nature of the rainfall and sometimes the intensity, I'm over 60 years old and it's been like that all my life
Yes it would. That is the Bradfield plan. The large body of water would create rainfall in the desert. Many scientists say it would work......just too much bloody red tape and Green party ruining things.
20% increase of vegetation and precipitation over the last 40 years due to CO2 fertilization has greened Australia significantly. The so called "negative effects of climate change" are amazingly good for Australia. No doubt, formerly marginal agricultural areas are now productive, profitable and financially rewarding. Eventually property prices will reflect the REALITY on the ground, despite the negative propaganda pouring out of mainstream media and our "highly respected" politicians.
The greening of the red centre sounds good in hollwood fairytales. Just remember that much of the enviroment has evolved over many thousands of years to be the way it is.
Flooding Lake Eyre with sea water could give Eastern Australia a rain harvest to its eastern and surrounding lands. It is a salt lake, and is approximately 10 meters below sea level. The rivers flowing to it would be backed-up and water dry land all around it.
Have you noticed that when Lake Eyre naturally floods, something that happens about once a decade, there is no flush of rainfall to the East and into NSW. That’s because the evaporation is not as a single intense bolus but rather a slow trickle which does not lead to cloud formation and rainfall. Flooding would produce the same inadequate response. It needs something different to produce rainfall.
This was put forward by the boss of Visy they were going to match dollar for dollar to redirect and capture water from the wet season. It can be done but do governments and people really want to do it? We only have one earth we have got to do something. We need to be much smarter with what we got. Very interesting. 🇦🇺👍🍺
in India we have trees give averagely 80to 85% oxygen giving plants like neem papal banyan bael mostly around temples .make seed pellets and throw edges to core desert.
If they put seawater into lake eyre as it is lower than sea level then evaporation would increase in the area and produce more rainfall as well as keeping the temperature lower in the middle of Australia
What we should do is purify and pump our sewerage into the desert. Grow trees to help induce rainfall. Then section it into farm land We need trees to slow wind so when it rains it slows the weather down so it will allow more rain to fall in an area rather than blow fast across the land scape
Had Australia been a Chinese colony back in the 1400s it would've happened by now and Australia would have half a billion Chinese living in it today.. Red China and New China would quite literally own the world or atleast control most of it's ocean's..
@@paulfri1569 Actually Australia had been discovered by Chinese long before Captain Cook as hinted in Chinese literature. There are also Chinese shipwrecks along the coasts but the news were swiftly suppressed by Australian media. China do not and have not establish colonies anywhere

Why I wished Indian's had settled the North of Australia as it's very similar climate to South India. With Indian knowledge Australia could be New India 🎉🎉
I have lived more than half a century in this outback. I have four years agricultural and animal husbandry education. I have rural industry experience. I have learned to understand nature in this continent from traditional first nation Australians, and in their languages, particularly Dhuwal. For eight years, I operated a 4WD safari into Kakadu National Park. i have written books on the outback environment and management thereof. And I say these fools are delusional and corrupt.
Hopefully this can be achieved. Australia Greened and forested will help keep planet earth cool especially when the sun is close to the earth 🌎 during it's revolution around the sun.
Australia (where I live) is far too dry for this to work. We produce and live on the continent's coasts. Only a very small percentage of us live inland and it's a harsh life.
It's very true I wish nothing best for the Australian people I do believe because of Australia's geography is the reason why the US became the US and is why Australia just didn't get to the level of the US. The US is rich in resources and has a less harsher environment
I think the idea of greening inner Australia is a load of rubbish. The centre of Australia is one big salt pan. Poor soil quality and lots of water will further degrade the desert country and it will not get any greener.
Try to convert maximum regions desert into lush green forest by planting tall spreading shadows various useful trees 🌳 suitable for Soil&climate of the regions such as Rohida. Babool gunda ardu jackfruit peeple banyan jamun mango Shalmali etc.These plants seen in Rajasthan desert
@@Sanyu-Tumusiime Finally someone with some sense. NSW water capturing & logging is killing the East coast of Australia's ecosystem & no one speaks of it. It angers me that Aboriginals do nothing about it.
Farming is not greening !!! No planting forests, just farms & It will no longer be public land !!! And they will kill all the native desert flora & fauna !!! Also they'll drain all the water meant for our Eastern forests, it'll be an ecological disaster !!!
First start planting growing suitable for Soil&climate of the regions from sea coast using sea water 🌊 .When tree 🌳 attain sufficient height move inside, repeat the project, Make whole Australia land covered with lush green forest, Will increase the income, promote tourism ,generate employment.
I liked it when we sold less to china. We actually sold domestically making cheap food for a few years then China got its way and prices increased because of export.
Because evaporation is a problem with storing water above ground why not build underground water storage facilities (the Romans did it over a thousand years ago) that will hold the water that floods the outback intermittently and then use it irrigate the land in times of drought?
One horrible aspect of Australian agriculture is the inhumane treatment of livestock for export..they are kept in horrible conditions during transport which results in unnecessary suffering and countless deaths. Smh
@@asha8443 Obviously you know nothing about what you are talking about. Have you actually seen it personally first hand or just listened to someone else's propergander?

AI generated script that used the wiki page as its entire data set after a troll had stripped that page of anything interesting. dude was banking on Australians to clarify this crap for free in the comments.
Developing Agriculture on sustainable ways ( please work with nature don’t destroy it) isn’t only an industry but also one of the foundations to the country be independent if others, if China or another supplier fails Australians will be ok 🤷♂️ if another country got a major problem Australia will be able to help that’s why is important any country try to sustain themselves like an “ecosystem”

I’m a Australian and this will never happen. You need water to do this and further dams are not in the pipe line. Years ago there was great vision to divert excess water from the tropics northern parts of Australia. But it was placed in the to hard basket. Along with most things these days. Everything is just to hard !!!!?? No it will never happen
Even the Murray Darling Basin, one of the larges irrigation regions on Earth only covers a strip of land 15 kms wide and most of that is south of the rivers.
This is beyond far from the truth, about 20 minuets from where I live in Perth up in the hills, they have completely destroyed the land, the amount of Forrest area they have removed is actually sickening and concerning with actually how much they have wiped out, species of animals specially the black cockatoos, all 3 varieties to be exact have dropped dramatically in numbers an are facing extinction, plus it's all done the develop an build unaffordable houses that majority of people who live in this country an born here could never afford, it's beyond a joke, money's become the main priority to life an we treat it like it's god, making money more valuable than life, our governments went from working for the people to making a better society, to trying to turn itself into a profit gaining business
Asian populations aren't 'increasing boundlessly' they are shrinking very rapidly. Japan's replacement rate is around 0.7, South Korea is around 0.6 and China is set for a demographic collapse too, even though reliable stats are hard to come by.
It is better they focus on having regenerative farming from the beginning and begin with small farms near human settlements first. Mega projects can cause mega blunders!
Enough food goes to waste in Australia already. It is not lack of supply but a controlled market. Closing exportation would strengthen major corporations ability to control markets.
May be they could employ a thousand farmers with there seeders for afew months ?pick somspot and seed it start of with 10 000 000 hectares. Use the water from lake angle instead ov letting it all run into the sea we need another?ERNY BRIDGE
The Irrigation areas that we have created we seen as successful at the time & have lead to adverse impacts elsewhere. Especially in protracted droughts. ie: Murry Irrigation Area (MIA) & Ord Irrigation Scheme. Yes, they produce food. But the damage to the native areas, the reduction of water flow to the wetlands (which can cause acidic water billabongs. The drop in the underground water table making it harder for native plants to survive the drought, has all lead to damage to the local area & an increase in desertification, Plus a proliferation of non-native species & pests. So while there is a significant move in the NT to grow cotton. It is as popular as poo on toast & the approvals reak of corruption.
if you know even the most basic things about the Australian outback, you will know this is impossible, just pure insanity and no one said they were going to green the outback.
The federal gov should never allow glencore who has a da in to pump co2 into the basin. This better not happen. This is labor who could allow this to happen

Northern Australia has over 1 million gigalitres of rainfall each year and 60% flows out to sea. Re route it to the artesian basin and hey presto!
I saw somewhere the biggest issue is the mountain range running down the east coast. Rain comes from the east and gets blocked by mountains 'causing' deserts on the west side of the mountain range.
Sustainable farming is definitely becoming important as more and more people are showing the long term benefits to the land.
Beyond that, the video was just a lot of wishful thinking.
I live 200km west of the great dividing range in southernQueensland, it is a 600 mm annual average rainfall where I live , most of our weather systems move from west to east , low level moisture is pushed westward from the eastern sea board into these systems triggering rainfall, biggest problem is the erradic nature of the rainfall and sometimes the intensity, I'm over 60 years old and it's been like that all my life
Why not pump water from the northern rivers into the Great Artesian Basin, will it find its own level?
It will either evaporate or flow down the rivers and out to sea in South Australia
Yes it would. That is the Bradfield plan. The large body of water would create rainfall in the desert. Many scientists say it would work......just too much bloody red tape and Green party ruining things.
20% increase of vegetation and precipitation over the last 40 years due to CO2 fertilization has greened Australia significantly. The so called "negative effects of climate change" are amazingly good for Australia. No doubt, formerly marginal agricultural areas are now productive, profitable and financially rewarding. Eventually property prices will reflect the REALITY on the ground, despite the negative propaganda pouring out of mainstream media and our "highly respected" politicians.
The greening of the red centre sounds good in hollwood fairytales.
Just remember that much of the enviroment has evolved over many thousands of years to be the way it is.
Flooding Lake Eyre with sea water could give Eastern Australia a rain harvest to its eastern and surrounding lands. It is a salt lake, and is approximately 10 meters below sea level. The rivers flowing to it would be backed-up and water dry land all around it.
Exactly
Great shout! Thanks so much for watching see you in the next one Timmy and Cinema :)
Have you noticed that when Lake Eyre naturally floods, something that happens about once a decade, there is no flush of rainfall to the East and into NSW. That’s because the evaporation is not as a single intense bolus but rather a slow trickle which does not lead to cloud formation and rainfall. Flooding would produce the same inadequate response. It needs something different to produce rainfall.
@petermarsh4993 you are exactly right flooding the inland would have little to no affect on rainfall, not sure why so many people think it would
@rogerjamespaul5528BS
This was put forward by the boss of Visy they were going to match dollar for dollar to redirect and capture water from the wet season. It can be done but do governments and people really want to do it? We only have one earth we have got to do something. We need to be much smarter with what we got. Very interesting. 🇦🇺👍🍺
You said it Aloysius
Thanks so much for watching catch you in the next one ;)
And that does not include schoolboy schemes.
amazing what british people achived
in India we have trees give averagely 80to 85% oxygen giving plants like neem papal banyan bael mostly around temples .make seed pellets and throw edges to core desert.
That's awesome
It will help reduce global warming. Double benefit.
Great video as always sounds great Australia would make a lot of its unused land if they do this!
Thanks so much man always a pleasure to have you here
Thanks so much for watching catch you in the next one ;)
Heard it all before, indeed for over a century they have being saying it. When will it start, what actual projects have begun?
If they put seawater into lake eyre as it is lower than sea level then evaporation would increase in the area and produce more rainfall as well as keeping the temperature lower in the middle of Australia
I fully support this.....
What we should do is purify and pump our sewerage into the desert. Grow trees to help induce rainfall. Then section it into farm land We need trees to slow wind so when it rains it slows the weather down so it will allow more rain to fall in an area rather than blow fast across the land scape
Miyawaki forest style everybody….planting trees that is you should totally research what that is because it’s brilliant
Best wishes to Australia big plans
Had Australia been a Chinese colony back in the 1400s it would've happened by now and Australia would have half a billion Chinese living in it today.. Red China and New China would quite literally own the world or atleast control most of it's ocean's..
@@paulfri1569 Actually Australia had been discovered by Chinese long before Captain Cook as hinted in Chinese literature. There are also Chinese shipwrecks along the coasts but the news were swiftly suppressed by Australian media. China do not and have not establish colonies anywhere
About time Australia does it. They have all ways to do it. China and the UN are doing it, why not Australia ?
We have enough minerals in the ground to keep us afloat for the next 100 years lol, we're very casual and not very forward thinking.
What has the UN got to do with the issue. The UN is captive to dictatorships and communist failures.
I would think of the CAROB TREE as a good specie to grow in the desert, it helps in feeding animals plus gives plenty of polen & honey.
My suggestion plant Ritha, Shikekai(soap 🧼 trees),Jackfruit jamun Imali shamali.Gambhir pilkhan maulashri semal palash pangara mango banyan pilkhan neem .karanj Sita ashok rubber all r tall Indian trees 🌳 but its fruits r useful
Why I wished Indian's had settled the North of Australia as it's very similar climate to South India. With Indian knowledge Australia could be New India 🎉🎉
I have lived more than half a century in this outback. I have four years agricultural and animal husbandry education. I have rural industry experience. I have learned to understand nature in this continent from traditional first nation Australians, and in their languages, particularly Dhuwal. For eight years, I operated a 4WD safari into Kakadu National Park. i have written books on the outback environment and management thereof. And I say these fools are delusional and corrupt.
agreed!
Hopefully this can be achieved. Australia Greened and forested will help keep planet earth cool especially when the sun is close to the earth 🌎 during it's revolution around the sun.
The populations of Japan, South Korea, and China are declining.
Australia (where I live) is far too dry for this to work. We produce and live on the continent's coasts. Only a very small percentage of us live inland and it's a harsh life.
It's very true I wish nothing best for the Australian people I do believe because of Australia's geography is the reason why the US became the US and is why Australia just didn't get to the level of the US. The US is rich in resources and has a less harsher environment
Thanks so much for watching:)
Catch you in the next one
@@theprimestlook who plant trees see always rain
how hard is it to just scrape a several-billion-dollar-worth channel of ocean water through the continent. there, no more treacherous outback.
I am an Australian living Australia and this is complete Bull Shit - its completely incorrect and ridiculous !
Stupid idea.. it's salty very salty. High evaporation rate will only raise the salt content
It's true but I do think they have some ways round this thanks so much watching! Catch you in the next one Stephen :)
This sounds like 'a concept of a plan' not based in reality. From South Australia, never heard of it
I think the idea of greening inner Australia is a load of rubbish.
The centre of Australia is one big salt pan. Poor soil quality and lots of water will further degrade the desert country and it will not get any greener.
Now, if the USA would do the same in the southwest.
But what will happen to the creatures that live and thrive in the deserts and bushes of the outback?
Nothing, there is no such plan, merely an idea of some half wit or other
Who cares? Humans are more important than those creatures!
the lizards will be fine
USA2.0 hmm not sure how to feel about that
Try to convert maximum regions desert into lush green forest by planting tall spreading shadows various useful trees 🌳 suitable for Soil&climate of the regions such as Rohida. Babool gunda ardu jackfruit peeple banyan jamun mango Shalmali etc.These plants seen in Rajasthan desert
without water those things ain't gonnna grow. you have to destroy the mountains on the east coast of australia
@@Sanyu-Tumusiime Finally someone with some sense. NSW water capturing & logging is killing the East coast of Australia's ecosystem & no one speaks of it. It angers me that Aboriginals do nothing about it.
Farming is not greening !!! No planting forests, just farms & It will no longer be public land !!! And they will kill all the native desert flora & fauna !!! Also they'll drain all the water meant for our Eastern forests, it'll be an ecological disaster !!!
First start planting growing suitable for Soil&climate of the regions from sea coast using sea water 🌊 .When tree 🌳 attain sufficient height move inside, repeat the project, Make whole Australia land covered with lush green forest, Will increase the income, promote tourism ,generate employment.
Covering land with 🌳 trees make regions cool, create catchment areas for clouds ☁️
I liked it when we sold less to china. We actually sold domestically making cheap food for a few years then China got its way and prices increased because of export.
For sure, the place is long overdue some comprehensive terraforming.
Why don't they just use sea water to plant desert, it's not impossible any more
they're not worried about greening it,they just give it away or sell it off to other countries.
Because evaporation is a problem with storing water above ground why not build underground water storage facilities (the Romans did it over a thousand years ago) that will hold the water that floods the outback intermittently and then use it irrigate the land in times of drought?
One horrible aspect of Australian agriculture is the inhumane treatment of livestock for export..they are kept in horrible conditions during transport which results in unnecessary suffering and countless deaths. Smh
@@asha8443 These days the stock travel in air conditioned comfort.
In Australia on the whole the animals get treated better than people.
@@JackoMurrenji i ask you the same question

@@verosso2788 Sorry if it seemed l was arguing against. I agree with you. l was asking the person with the original comment.
We cant build a reliable metro system yet we tend to do this feat.
For this to happen the govt would actually have get off their back side and think more than 4 years ahead 😂
For Australia to succeed and the world for that matter what's needed is The World Economic Forum and its agents within governments to be jailed for treason.
AI generated script that used the wiki page as its entire data set after a troll had stripped that page of anything interesting.
dude was banking on Australians to clarify this crap for free in the comments.
Only way this can happen is to duct seawater and deploy small scale reactors to desalinate it into fresh water.
Or do a simple sand filter and let it rip solar pump. Can dilute it with treated sewage, grow salt friendly plants
I can't keep my 1200 square metres of Australia green. Good luck.
Developing Agriculture on sustainable ways ( please work with nature don’t destroy it) isn’t only an industry but also one of the foundations to the country be independent if others, if China or another supplier fails Australians will be ok 🤷♂️ if another country got a major problem Australia will be able to help that’s why is important any country try to sustain themselves like an “ecosystem”
If there were only transparent solar panels you could plant under😔

I’m a Australian and this will never happen. You need water to do this and further dams are not in the pipe line. Years ago there was great vision to divert excess water from the tropics northern parts of Australia. But it was placed in the to hard basket. Along with most things these days. Everything is just to hard !!!!??
No it will never happen
It's not too hard and never has been. It's just too damn expensive to ever be economically viable.
Even the Murray Darling Basin, one of the larges irrigation regions on Earth only covers a strip of land 15 kms wide and most of that is south of the rivers.
They must diverse their agriculturelal to crops types that are suited to dry conditions like, the aloe range
This is beyond far from the truth, about 20 minuets from where I live in Perth up in the hills, they have completely destroyed the land, the amount of Forrest area they have removed is actually sickening and concerning with actually how much they have wiped out, species of animals specially the black cockatoos, all 3 varieties to be exact have dropped dramatically in numbers an are facing extinction, plus it's all done the develop an build unaffordable houses that majority of people who live in this country an born here could never afford, it's beyond a joke, money's become the main priority to life an we treat it like it's god, making money more valuable than life, our governments went from working for the people to making a better society, to trying to turn itself into a profit gaining business
Asian populations aren't 'increasing boundlessly' they are shrinking very rapidly. Japan's replacement rate is around 0.7, South Korea is around 0.6 and China is set for a demographic collapse too, even though reliable stats are hard to come by.
Great fantasy !! Never heard of it in Australia.
It is better they focus on having regenerative farming from the beginning and begin with small farms near human settlements first. Mega projects can cause mega blunders!
What they call desert in Australia we call it Phoenix & Vegas in America
Give the land back to it's rightful owners that's the right thing to do
Imagine how cheap food would be if they didn’t export so much
Imagine how many farmers would then go broke
Enough food goes to waste in Australia already. It is not lack of supply but a controlled market. Closing exportation would strengthen major corporations ability to control markets.
Australia is tryna green anything, they’d never, very few of us value that
May be they could employ a thousand farmers with there seeders for afew months ?pick somspot and seed it start of with 10 000 000 hectares. Use the water from lake angle instead ov letting it all run into the sea we need another?ERNY BRIDGE
The Irrigation areas that we have created we seen as successful at the time & have lead to adverse impacts elsewhere. Especially in protracted droughts. ie: Murry Irrigation Area (MIA) & Ord Irrigation Scheme.
Yes, they produce food. But the damage to the native areas, the reduction of water flow to the wetlands (which can cause acidic water billabongs. The drop in the underground water table making it harder for native plants to survive the drought, has all lead to damage to the local area & an increase in desertification, Plus a proliferation of non-native species & pests.
So while there is a significant move in the NT to grow cotton. It is as popular as poo on toast & the approvals reak of corruption.
Easiest way to green it , is to flood the inland again. Just let the ocean flow back in from port Augusta
if you know even the most basic things about the Australian outback, you will know this is impossible, just pure insanity and no one said they were going to green the outback.
The federal gov should never allow glencore who has a da in to pump co2 into the basin. This better not happen. This is labor who could allow this to happen
Hasn’t rained as much because they destroyed their rainforest which are known to generate their own water
Is that before or after we sell it to the Chinese first.
Let the Chinese have ago .is all au😢just talk about.if the Chinese can green the globe and the sahara can green there deserts WY we .because we?have polys haven't got a clue to busy taking over seas trips
