Global Warming and Climate Change} } why not plant trees instead of cover crops?
The basic idea of my plan is to allow the planet's temperature regulation system to be rebuilt, by decreasing the sizes of arid and semi-arid areas of the planet as quickly as we can. This can not be done only by planting trees that can take many years to grow, and not provide the water back into the atmosphere in a timely fashion. Cover crops can be made to cover land much quicker than anything else as long as adequate water is available and it can be protected by the winds that can blow away crop seeds, or even the birds that can eat them. There are many methods that can control both, I love hydro-seeding, it locks the seeds into a mulch type bed that can also provide spot fertilizer for quick growth and protection from hot sun and winds and birds. And once enough land is put under, cover crops, then those crops can supply the mulch for the next set of lands to hydro seeded, which means that some of the first few years of production will mainly be used as a starter mulch instead of cattle or fish feed. This would be a mathematic progression, so every period of growth of the original alfalfa cover crop could increase how much hydroseeding could be done. and while each crop matures the next set of land would be prepared for planting. Wind fences would be important for protecting each new seedbed from being covered over by blowing soils. And once built could be moved around as needed, these would be miles long but would not have to be very tall or solid. One very important fact is that the waters that we would be using would be full of nutrients and silt that would greatly improve the soils that we are trying to use. Between the many millions of workers available and the machinery that could easily be brought to bear, I see no reason that miles of land could be planted every day, as long as there would be enough water. Yes problems will occur and setbacks will happen, nature can throw things at you that can not always be planned for and this is a work in progress, but mankind has done much harder things than this, and with less need and much fewer people. We only have to look at what is happening now, with the coronavirus! Reach me in the USA @ 402-890-7946 or by email @ <danielkadavy212@gmail.com> Thank You, Dan
