中国从沙漠中采集了数十亿吨沙子，一年后发生的事情令所有人都感到震惊

some countries can’t even agree on a Dan thing every 4 years, let alone 40 year project to save desert

有些国家就连每4年的一件小事都无法达成一致，更别说开展一项长达40年的治沙工程了。

I once climbed an 800-foot desert dune -- didn't go up the face but along the ridge with the shallowest slope. It was different than climbing a coastal dune; the sand is actually more slippery in the desert due to the grains being rounder and smoother, which makes them slip more easily. But that very slipperiness makes them more fun to run down!

我曾经爬过一座800英尺的沙漠沙丘——不是从正面爬，而是沿着坡度最缓的棱线上去的。这和爬海岸沙丘不一样；沙漠里的沙子颗粒更圆、更光滑，所以其实更容易打滑。但也正是这种滑溜溜的感觉让跑下来变得更有趣！

This is why Chinese people are always optimistic when discussing global warming, environmental pollution, and the apocalypse. We identify problems and then solve them, even if it takes a hundred years and the efforts of generations. As long as we have the right approach, we can change the world, rather than just waiting.

这就是为什么中国人在讨论全球变暖、环境污染和世界末日时总是保持乐观。我们发现问题就会解决问题，哪怕需要花上百年时间，付出几代人的努力。只要方法对，我们就能改变世界，而不只是坐等消亡。

I'm stunned. This is so impressive. China greens a desert of half a million square miles and America builds a gambling mecca of Las Vegas. I know that's simplistic, but it shows the stark differences between these two cultures.

The most amazing thing about sand is that this commodity is in high demand. A lot of sea side tourist areas are continually losing their coastline and are in constant need for regular mitigation. For example New Jersey annually trucks in several hundred cubic yards of sand to replenish the loss. According to one source in the US: Beach erosion is a national problem as 80 to 90 percent of sandy beaches are currently eroding at rates of only a few inches to over 50 feet per year along outer coastline of Louisiana, the erosion “hot spot” of the United States. Hence, this excessive sand can be purchased as valuable commodities globally.

沙子最神奇的一点是它是高需求商品。很多滨海旅游区的海岸线一直在退化，需要持续治理。比如新泽西州每年都要运数百立方码的沙子来补充流失。据美国一份资料显示：海滩侵蚀是全国性问题，80%到90%的沙滩正在被侵蚀，侵蚀速度从几英寸到每年超过50英尺不等，路易斯安那州外海岸是美国的侵蚀“重灾区”。因此这些富余的沙子可以在全球作为宝贵商品出售。

Also, grass grows under and eventually over the solar panels in the desert. In xinjiang, sheep will eat the grass for those solar farms, which is a win-win situation- the solar farm saves maintenance cost while the sheep get free feed.

而且沙漠里的太阳能板下会长出草，最后覆盖住面板。在新疆，牧羊会吃掉光伏电站里的草，这是双赢——光伏电站省下维护成本，羊也有了免费草料。

Why can't that excess heat be used to power generators, producing even more electricity? Collecting it may be as easy as running a thin pipe system around the solar cells, fill with a liquid that can then either be used directly or used to heat water to turn a turbine. It should save heat stress on the panels too, making them last longer.

为什么不把多余的热量用来驱动发电机，发更多电？收集热量其实很简单，在太阳能板周围布上细管道，灌入液体，这些液体可以直接利用，或者用来烧水驱动涡轮机。这还能减少面板的热负荷，延长使用寿命。

So solar panels are causing global warming. Not fossil fuels. That's pretty good. How much pollution was generated, making all the solar panels? And what's the cause of recycling the solar panels when they wear out? These are questions you didn't even answer. Or even come across in your. Video

104 degrees impossible to live I work in up to 128 degrees and most of the summer is 100+ and it stays over 100 even at night. And yes some of us will work 16 hour shifts from 6am till 10pm with small breaks we don’t get official break times. Some days we won’t get breaks.

104华氏度就没法生存了？我工作的地方温度高达128华氏度（换算成摄氏度约为 53.33°C。），夏天大部分时间都在100华氏度以上，晚上也会超过100华氏度。没错，我们有些人会从早上6点工作到晚上10点，轮16个小时的班，只有短暂休息，而且没有正式的休息时间。有些日子甚至连休息都没有。

We will stand outside drinking our water and eating what things we have that don’t need to be heated up. And we can’t go buy food. We have what we bring to work on a daily basis. We can’t leave and we have no services. 104 is easy and as long as he has a fan to move the air I am good.

Wisconsin is home to some of the highest-quality silica sand in the world, particularly for fracking purposes, due to its unique grain size, roundness, and hardness. Wisconsin's sand has become a critical resource for oil drilling operations, particularly in the Middle East and other regions involved in shale oil extraction. Wisconsin Proppants, Superior Silica Sands, and Hi-Crushis ship their sand to Saudi Arabia primarily for use in the oil and gas industry.

威斯康星州拥有世界上最高质量的硅砂，尤其是用于水力压裂的硅砂，这得益于其独特的粒径、圆度和硬度。威斯康星州的沙子已成为石油钻探作业的关键资源，特别是在中东和其他页岩油开采地区。威斯康星州支撑剂公司、优质硅砂公司和Hi-Crush公司主要将沙子运往沙特阿拉伯用于石油和天然气行业。

Deceptive title. To make a very long China-praising story short (and lets not forget it is not a democracy, so moving even millions of people and resources around is a lot easier than in a democracy), still not clear if they really REMOVED billions of tons of sand FROM the dessert as the title suggests. And if so, to where?. Another thing is moving it around as became sort of clear when you mentioned the sand was bulldozered to the in-between valleys or depresions in the same dessert.

标题具有误导性。长话短说，这就是一篇吹捧中国的内容（而且别忘了它不是民主国家，所以调动数百万人和资源比民主国家容易得多），目前仍不清楚他们是否真的像标题所说，从沙漠中移走了数十亿吨沙子。如果真的移走了，运到了哪里？还有一点很明显，你提到沙子被推土机推到了同一片沙漠里的山谷或洼地，这其实只是在内部挪动而已。

I don’t know your voice through this channel, but through my favorite Reddit story telling channel, Red Wheel. Thanks for the videos!

Thank you for your documentaries, you talk about climate change, and I'd like you to look into the many submarines under the North & South poles. there are so many they can't keep track of them. I believe the radiation from the Nuclear-powered vessel have slowly been melting the ice caps and all countries are supposedly doing research under them. I would really appreciate knowing what you find out.

谢谢你的纪录片，你聊了气候变化，我希望你能调查一下南北极底下的众多潜艇。数量太多，根本无法追踪。我认为核动力船只的辐射正在慢慢融化冰盖，据说所有国家都在下面进行研究。如果你能查到相关信息，我会非常感激。

The Chinese should try regenerative farming. You dig swales and other water channels; it takes advantage of the seasonal rains, and can eventually raise the water table. It’s been used successfully in Africa, India, Australia and the USA.

中国人应该尝试再生农业。挖洼地和水渠，利用季节性降雨，最终可以提高地下水位。这种方法在非洲、印度、澳大利亚和美国都成功应用过。

Over this past decade-or-so, I've contemplated the necessity of deserts. We haven't figured-out why yet, but the operative word is there ...'yet'. I keep thinking we will do ourselves in (......again) by cutting deserts out. I doubt there is a healthy planet out there that doesn't have desert spots.

在过去十几年里，我一直在思考沙漠存在的必要性。我们至今还没弄明白原因，但重点是“至今”还没。我总觉得，要是把沙漠彻底清除，我们可能会（再一次）毁了自己。我不相信一个健康的星球会没有沙漠区域。

Isn't it interesting. We are constantly being told that the beaches are running out of sand and they are now mining the seabed and disturbing the marine ecosystem to get it. The sand could just be shipped from these deserts which now conveniently have good roads and railways running through them.

这不挺有意思的吗？我们总听说海滩的沙子快不够用了，现在人们还在开采海床、破坏海洋生态来获取沙子。其实完全可以从这些沙漠运沙，毕竟现在这里已经有便利的公路和铁路了。

I would be more impressed if China would build a large saltwater piping system, building the desalinization plants, using the leftover salts to build salt water batteries. The water can be used to reclaim the deserts by using not only trees but to plant other types of plants that animals and insects would thrive. This builds a multiculture, enriching the lands naturally, making it to where China can grow enough food for themselves.
This is all basic science, though most governments refuse to think outside the box - Maybe China can figure this out?

如果中国能建造大型海水管道系统、建海水淡化厂，用剩余的盐分制造盐水电池，我会更佩服。淡化的水可以用来治理沙漠，不仅种树，还种其他能让动物和昆虫繁衍生息的植物。这样能构建多元生态，自然改良土地，让中国实现粮食自给。
这都是基础科学，但大多数政府都不愿跳出固有思维——也许中国能做到？
