What if there were 1 trillion more trees?
At nearly 84 meters in height, the largest known living tree on our planet stands proudly, aptly nicknamed General Sherman.

While few trees can rival such an impressive carbon impact, the stark reality is that humanity now produces more than 1,400 tons of carbon emissions every single minute.

Afolabi AbigaelPublished 7 months ago in HistoryWhy don’t we cover the desert with solar panels?
Every day, the sands of the Sahara Desert are scorched by temperatures that can soar up to a blistering 80 degrees Celsius. This sprawling desert, covering roughly nine million square kilometers, serves as a vast canvas upon which the Sun bestows an astonishing 22 million terawatt hours of energy annually. To put that in perspective, it's more than 100 times the energy consumed by humanity each year. It's a staggering amount of untapped power, and it begs the question: Could covering the Sahara with solar panels offer a definitive solution to our global energy woes?

According to Wikipedia, Time is the continued sequence of existence and events that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, into the future. We can further read that there are two contrasting viewpoints on time. One view is that time is part of the fundamental structure of the universe – a dimension independent of events, in which events occur in sequence. Isaac Newton subscribed to this realist view, and hence it is sometimes referred to as Newtonian time. The opposing view is that time does not refer to any kind of "container" that events and objects "move through", nor to any entity that "flows", but that it is instead part of a fundamental intellectual structure (together with space and number) within which humans sequence and compare events. This second view, in the tradition of Gottfried Leibniz and Immanuel Kant, holds that time is neither an event nor a thing, and thus is not itself measurable nor can it be travelled. Aristotle believed that time correlated to movement. In his opinion, time do not exist on its own but is relative to motion of objects. He also believed that time is related to the motion of celestial bodies which is why it seems like something non-existent.
