The location of the discussions may have served as a reminder of the importance of the world’s greatest absorbers of carbon emissions: forests and oceans.

Foresting the Sahara Desert
Three scientists in New York City thought that more forest could help slow climate change. So, they thought that would be a great idea to forest the Sahara Desert. You may think that with all this heat and sand in the Sahara that would be rather… difficult, but they argue that it can be done.
