sahara

The Sahara is also linked to fertility rises in rainforests in South America.

The Sahara is a complex ecosystem, like everywhere else (actually, it's a network of several deserts with different geographies, climates, and ecosystems).

From a Linux/*BSD perspective, developing on Windows is like crossing the Sahara - you need to carry your own supplies.

And a journey in the polar sea is different from the journey in the sahara.

I would start in Dakar and make my way clockwise through the Sahara all the way to Egypt.

For example make energy cheap enough, and we can desalinate enough water to re-green the Sahara desert.

Have you read about the research into using microbes to transform the desert sand into a sandstone wall to span the Sahara Desert?

(not quite selling sand in the Sahara, but reasonably close) For the Sahara example, I fear that part of 'strength' here is brittleness.

I remember learning in school (here in the US) that the Sahara Desert is by itself as large as the continental US.

So, about 11k years ago the Sahara suddenly burst into life, and about 8k years ago axial tilt changes started the process of removing this burst.

Seven thousand years ago, pre-Egyptian nomads left religious art in what is now the Sahara desert (though at the time they used it to pasture their animals).

As far as I understand, the trees holding back the advance of the Sahara are being cut down for cooking firewood, and the rainforests are being deforested for ordinary farmland.

I use maps on large scale to answer questions like "hm, so where is that Sahara desert?

This one should have been named "Sahara Solar-Power Consortium's Plans Advance".

AltaVista was way ahead of Google, but DEC marketing ("DEC has it now, but you can't have it.") couldn't sell water to a man dying of thirst in the Sahara.

But you do say, "The Congo" and "The Sahara", while you used to say "The Ukraine" but not any more.

The idea that you could sell software seemed as crazy as selling sand in Sahara.

Taking sand out of the Sahara's borders would be a good thing, right?

Spain receives colossal amounts of wind energy from the Sahara.
