Homo sapiens

While Dr. Lena and others were discussing the climate crisis.

As the organizer of the African Climate Forum, the scientific division of Homo sapiens, its director Jiang Mingxuan appeared on the podium.

The emcee on the side quickly took the microphone and spoke: "Dear guests, please be quiet and take your seats. This forum has officially begun."

Soon meteorologists, environmental scientists, and geologists came from all over Africa. In addition to scholars from Africa, there were also scholars from West Asia from neighboring Africa, as well as some European scholars who came through special channels.

There were more than a thousand attendees.

After everyone was seated, an operable screen and a simultaneous interpretation headset were raised on the table in front of each seat.

The waiter on the side reminded: "Madam, this is a simultaneous translation headset, please bring it with you."

"Oh? I understand English." Lena shook her head.

However, the waiter smiled and continued to remind: "Minister Jiang speaks Chinese."

"Huh?" Lena finally reacted and had to pick up the simultaneous translation earphones and put them into her ears.

She was still immersed in the world dominated by Europa and America, and couldn't adapt for a while.

Although the Homo sapiens company stipulates that English is also the working language, there are dozens of other mainstream languages ​​that are also working languages. The proportion of Chinese used within the Homo sapiens company is about 18.4%, while English is 11.7%.

In addition, Homo sapiens company employees usually speak several languages, so many people give priority to using their mother tongue in daily communication.

As for the situation in European and American academia that uses English as the core working language, it is simply impossible in the Homo sapiens company.

The Homo sapiens company does not coddle European and American scholars.

After a while, everyone plugged in their simultaneous translation headsets, and under the guidance of the waiter, opened the picture and text simultaneous browsing panel.

Jiang Mingxuan saw the emcee's gesture and began to speak: "Welcome to the African Climate Forum. I will give a keynote speech on behalf of Homo sapiens. The theme of this forum is: Sahara Greening and New Agriculture."

Lena frowned when she saw this title.

"As we all know, the Sahara Desert has cyclical climate changes. Every 7,000 to 10,000 years, it will enter a relatively humid period. The last wet period in the Sahara Desert ended 6,000 years ago, and the next wet period is about to come."

All the scholars in the audience looked at each other in confusion.

Of course they knew about the cyclical climate changes in the Sahara Desert, but they also knew that Jiang Mingxuan was secretly changing his concept at this time.

Because of the cyclical climate changes in the Sahara Desert, it is the self-regulation of the natural environment.

The humidity of the Sahara Desert in front of us is the result of artificial transformation by the Homo sapiens company. The two cannot be confused.

However, Jiang Mingxuan didn't care at all. He continued: "With the development of human civilization to the current stage, industrial production has emitted too much carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. This behavior has led to a serious greenhouse effect and violates the laws of nature..."

As soon as he came up, he began to surround Wei and rescue Zhao, directly blaming the entire human civilization.

Anyway, it was the Western forces that started industrialization first. The scale of pollution is accumulated historically. It is also the Western forces that are the most serious and bear the greatest responsibility.

"Homo sapiens is a company committed to environmental protection. Our company has made indelible contributions to the earth's carbon balance, including eliminating most fossil fuel power stations and striving to develop green energy..."

Lena couldn't help it anymore and stood up directly: "I have reservations about this. I also agree with your company's approach of phasing out fossil fuels and using green energy, but I have reservations about the greening and development of the Sahara Desert. be opposed to."

Jiang Mingxuan asked with a smile: "Why are you opposed? This is a very beneficial thing for the African region. Doesn't Dr. Lena not want to see the Republic of Abd turned into a prairie?"

"Uh..." Dr. Lena suddenly choked.

Because she realized at this moment that this was the African Climate Forum, not the World Climate Forum, let alone the Europa Climate Forum.

Now that she is a "citizen" of Abed, she must consider issues from the African perspective.

However, she quickly reacted: "Of course I hope that Abed can develop, but your company's transformation of the Sahara Desert will have a serious impact on the global climate, and may trigger a large number of extreme weather, thereby affecting global agricultural production. , we should think about issues from a global perspective."

"You said it was possible. I don't want such unfounded words to come from a scholar. Now we only see that the Sahara is getting wet..." Jiang Mingxuan shook his head very calmly.

Then he continued: "Since there is a wet period in the Sahara Desert, it proves that the Sahara Desert can become humid. This does not violate the laws of nature. We just accelerated the process."

None of the climatologists from Africa and West Asia stood up in a hurry to refute this.

Especially in areas with vast desert areas, they are in great need of water resources. The transformation of the Sahara Desert into the Sahara Prairie will definitely bring more benefits than disadvantages to these areas.

As for other areas suffering from extreme weather, many more selfish people sneered secretly:

None of my business.

When I was eating sand before, I didn't see you selling food to me cheaply. Why should I put the overall interests of the Sahara region first now?

The faces of those European and American scholars who had sneaked in were a little ugly.

After all, Europe and North America rely on the North Atlantic Warm Current to form a temperate maritime climate.

The latitudes of Western Europe and Northern Europe are similar to Northeast Asia. Once the warm water vapor of the North Atlantic Current is lost, the cold current of the Arctic Ocean will sweep across the entire Europa.

The situation in North America may be even more serious.

Because of the topography of North America, once the Arctic cold current moves south, there are no mountains or plateaus to block it. The cold current can move south from the Great Lakes Plains, directly through the Mississippi Plains, and reach the tropical waters of the Aztec Bay.

The Homo sapiens company is the most advantageous, because all of its subsidiaries are in the tropics or subtropics.

South Asia has the tall roof of the world as a barrier, and North Africa has Europa and the Mediterranean to absorb the Arctic cold current.

Under this circumstance, Homo sapiens Company must not only green the Sahara, but also accelerate it and strive to achieve carbon balance on the earth as soon as possible.

The two sides have different positions and naturally have different views on the Sahara greening project.

Despite the constant opposition from European and American scholars, Jiang Mingxuan remained unmoved, while climate scholars from Africa and West Asia also had very ambiguous attitudes.

Jiang Mingxuan also talked about the future of agriculture: "Due to the development of genetic technology, we have now cultivated a large number of seawater crops. If any party is interested in introducing seawater canals and seawater agriculture, our company is very welcome."

In response to this, the envoys of the small forces in the Sahara region showed expressions of confusion and longing.

Obviously they want and are worried about Homo sapiens company.

But seawater canals and seawater agriculture are indeed very attractive, especially in areas with vast desert areas.

The forum lasted for more than three hours, during which time the Homo sapiens company was speaking out. Most of the small-power scholars came just to listen. Only European and American scholars held fierce objections.

But the objections were useless, Homo sapiens was already accelerating.
