  Reforestation of the Sahara Desert

  "Maathai's belief that a healthy environment is the path to peace, her holistic vision for sustainable development, and her hopes and ambitions for the future of Africa and the world".

  Dear Professor Wangari Maathai:

  Your work should get global recognition and I do hope that former vice-president of the USA and Sir. Richard Branson will support you with reforestation program. It is the best ways to to balance CO2 on our planet. The best way because everyone can do it.

  I am working on a project to reforestation of the Sahara desert. The main problem to solve there is to supply water. I do believe that we have a solution.

  A global movement whereby everyone must dedicate a part of his/her life to help in reforestation projects, anywhere in the world, is what the United Nations has to start up.

  Your knowledge could be useful to develop peace and prosperity in the world.

  I do hope that in the near future I can also help in reforestation projects in Africa. I have developed a solution to produce water for agriculture and reforestation.  

  Best regards

  Greenhousegas Problem

  I do not think we should solve the Greenhousegas problem. We must balance release and capture of CO2 between limits as dr. Hansen proposes.

  Putting the focus on only coal fired plant will solve only a part of the problem.

  To balance the CO2 greenhousegas on our planet we must:
  

  1. Reduce CO2 emission
     
  2. Increase reforestation  (CO2 capture) and use wood in a rational way from the forests
     
  3. Stop pollution of our oceans.

  A proposal is:
  a: Stop using fossil fuels for powergeneration.
  (use inherently safe nuclear power stations in co-generation)
  b: Replace all gasoline and diesel engines by fuel cells working on hydrogen. No large scale hydrogen infrastructures but local hydrogen generation in "Off-Peak" hours for local power station (co-generation).
  c: Increase public transportation using Maglev trains for interregional transportation and monyrails for in the congested cities locations.
  d: Start massive reforestation programs for the Sahara desert and Sinai desert.
  This can be done with cheap nuclear energy in combination with solar energy.
  e: Stop with the pollution of the oceans.  

  Picking out only coal fired plants will not solve the problem.

  On of my directors ounce said:
  Changes do not come by creativity.
  For changes you need:
  

  1. A man (or a woman)
     
  2. A bright solution
     
  3. A disaster
     
  Then the chance will come by itself.
  The problem with global warming is dangerous:
  
  • Can we stop it when it really starts?
    
  • Has man ever been capable to understand exponential growth functions.

  The fall of the Roman Empire is a good example how changes can take place.The Roman Empire was on small scale. The down fall took a longer period.
