    About this ebook

    In 2022, the record-breaking high temperature and drought in the northern hemisphere indicate that the crisis of human survival is coming. "Atmospheric heat" is the core issue of global warming, which determines its direction and development trend. The heat transferred from the global desert surface to the atmosphere is more than 500 times the heat transferred to the atmosphere from the burning of global carbonaceous fuels.
    The mid-latitude desert and the westerly wind interact, adding 60,000 square kilometers of desert every year. If left unchecked, "accelerated climate warming" will be used as a butcher knife to wipe out human beings. Not seeing the danger is the greatest danger. If the desert is not controlled, human beings will be destroyed.
    At present, "greenhouse gas fog" and "igniting fantasy fireworks" cover the whole world. A single man-made "energy conservation and emission reduction" blindfolds people, paralyzes their minds, gives up effective measures, delays and wastes precious time, and conceals the real enemy. Waiting for the arrival of the crisis of survival will lead people to the road of no return to human extinction.
    We should act urgently, implement the measures of the Troika, and seize the opportunity for an adequate period of desertification control. Human beings still have a chance to save themselves, but it is not too late.
    This book uses heat balance theory and accurate data to discuss the above issues.

      I. Saving the Earth to Save Humanity

      ––––––––

      Deserts have expanded in size and number due to soil composition, climate change and human activities. The Sahara Desert, covered in grassland thousands of years ago, has now transformed into one of the driest places on Earth. The global desert area currently spans 31.4 million square kilometers, growing at an annual rate of 60,000km². Excluding the polar regions, deserts now constitute a quarter of the Earth’s total land area. Apart from water, air and solar energy, a habitable Earth needs a balanced distribution of solar radiation between its surface and atmosphere. Disrupting this balance may result in dire consequences. When the atmosphere absorbs an excessive proportion of solar heat, it is detrimental to the ecological balance, eventually harming human health and destroying planet Earth.

      At the beginning of its 4.6-billion-year history, the Earth was largely desert-free. The planet enjoyed an optimal distribution of solar energy during this period, with the surface absorbing more heat and the atmosphere absorbing less heat. These conditions fostered a favorable environment for the growth of living organisms, including the emergence of humans over a million years ago.

      The gradual emergence and expansion of deserts have become a critical factor in changing the Earth’s ecological conditions.

      Global warming, a phenomenon that began with the emergence of deserts 10,000 years ago, is accelerating as desert areas expand.

      The root cause of global warming is not carbon imbalance, but the thermal equilibrium of solar energy on Earth. Excessive heat in the atmosphere is the main issue. It determines the trend and direction of climate change, changes in global ecological conditions, and ultimately the survival of ecosystems.

      Plants and animals cannot grow in deserts, and ecosystems will not exist in these areas to absorb and utilize solar radiation. This means that a significant portion of the heat absorbed by the desert surface is re-radiated into the atmosphere, thereby elevating atmospheric temperatures. Moreover, the desert size plays a crucial role in the distribution of solar energy between the Earth’s surface and atmosphere. In other words, more heat is released into the atmosphere when deserts expand, exacerbating global warming. Thus, the Earth’s energy imbalance is the leading cause of global warming. The global desert area stretches 31.4 million square kilometers. According to data from the Xinjiang Yearbook, solar radiation is 5,000-6,400 MJ/m2 per year in Xinjiang. Still, this data point is likely lower than the average for desert regions due to Xinjiang’s higher latitude. It is estimated that global desert surfaces receive solar radiation equivalent to over 4 trillion tons of crude oil per year, of which more than 2 trillion tons are released into the atmosphere. In contrast, global carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels contribute about 4 billion tons of oil equivalent to the atmosphere each year — over 500 times lower than heat transferred from deserts. Are efforts in combating global warming heading in the wrong direction if we focus on the small proportion of heat (0.2%) contributed by carbon emissions, while disregarding the heat transferred to the atmosphere from deserts?

      Mid-latitude deserts and mid-latitude westerly winds expand desert areas by 60,000 square kilometers each year, thereby adding the amount of heat equivalent to over 3.8 billion tons of crude oil to the atmosphere. However, the global energy conservation and emission reduction initiative can only reduce atmospheric heat by a maximum of 1 billion tons of oil equivalent per year, less than a quarter of the annual heat transfer increase caused by desert expansion. With rising heat released into the atmosphere, the energy conservation and emission reduction initiative alone cannot tackle global warming.

      The interaction between mid-latitude deserts and westerly airflows is a terrifying force of destruction that will worsen desertification and increase the amount of solar heat transferred to the atmosphere, thereby intensifying global warming. Once the atmospheric heat exceeds the ecological redline, it will destroy the Earth’s ecological conditions, gradually transforming a lively ecological Earth into a lifeless non-ecological planet. Natural disasters such as droughts, floods, typhoons, tsunamis, forest fires, mudflows and landslides will become increasingly severe and frequent. Humans will also face unprecedented calamities. Apart from deserts, non-desert areas with temperatures exceeding 54 degrees Celsius have already emerged. Ground temperatures of 55, 60, 65, 70 degrees Celsius will be recorded as atmospheric heat continues to increase and atmospheric temperatures rise. These conditions are also expected to last longer and become more extreme. How will people live in these environments? Some say: We can stay indoors and turn on the air conditioner. But who will generate electricity for the air conditioner to run at 60 or 70 degrees Celsius? Who can survive when society comes to a standstill?

      Average annual rainfall is the most significant factor affecting ecological conditions in areas with similar latitudes. A larger and hotter high-altitude thermal environment forms when atmospheric heat exceeds the Earth’s ecological redlines. This is similar to high-altitude atmospheric thermal environments over deserts where there is limited condensation needed for rain, even with sufficient water vapor in the air. Desert areas only record a few millimeters of rainfall each year. Water vapor needs to flow to low-temperature ocean surfaces to condense and form rain. The increase in atmospheric heat changes the distribution ratio of rainfall between land and oceans, resulting in a significant decrease in rainfall on land and a rise in rainfall on ocean surfaces. Trees will
