I would like to talk with you about stuff other than recreating dinosaurs. What are your views on terraforming the Sahara Desert? Some have proposed desalinating seawater and using aquaducts and pumps to bring it further into the desert. They would then plant Eucalyptus trees, which are tolerant of heat. According to them, it would combat climate change.

There are some downsides though. It could encourage locust swarms, and prevent iron-rich dust from being blown into the Atlantic, which would be a disaster since iron nourishes marine life.

What are your views on the subject? I think it could combat climate change, but the ecological effects must be considered.
