False.and here is why,there are high contents of salt in many deserts which means that during the great flood it full of water.As well the water markings along the desert walls and hills...Water its all about the water,NOT CLIMATE CHANGE..

@RAWRAWRWAR yep. I saw a documentary on it and its quite an amazing place. Have you heard about the Cenote that was also discovered? that cenote is called "El Hundido" and its like 200 metres deep and at the bottom there is a great chamber with fresh water. quite an amazing discovery despite the fact that in the area were the cenote is found, only salt water is available.

@maximus0032 did you know there was a zone of silence there? high magnetic and metiorite activity and radio and satelite signals fail there. satelite missles cant go near that area or else it will crash.

I wonder such a huge amount is getting invested to find new horizons of life around the space lilke moon. without success. what if we divert half of that spending towards conversting deserts into life friendly place. such a huge area is falling in cetegory of desert. more is added due to our habbits. would not it be more result oriented??
