Can Sahara be made green by human intervention?

Absolutely no. As the desert occupied almost 9.1 million square kilometer (3.5 million square miles) it is impossible to make whole of the desert in green. Firstly, it is due to its soil content. The desert are totally consist of sand of 0.2-2 mm in diameter and this just cannot allow the trees to grow. The reason is that there are no water reservoir among the soil particles as it easily leached. Furthermore, if water is supplied, the sand can choke or suffocated the trees. We can apply the organic material to the desert but are we willing to collect or dig just to cover the Sahara? Secondly, if we CAN control the climate, then we may have an opportunity to survive in Sahara. The temperature and rainfall in Sahara just not adequate to even the Sahara itself. However, there a a small parts in the desert that are able to be an agriculture activities which the water reservoirs (oasis) is there. Take a note, we just cannot make Sahara green, but Sahara taking the green parts of the adjacent area.
