China’s efforts to slow land degradation and climate change by planting trees and restoring grasslands have shifted water around the country in huge, unforeseen ways, new research shows.

wow. this is a tough one to comment on as its not really a good/bad but more its complicated thing.
how is it not univocally a good thing?
Trees good, china bad.
It comes from chy-nah?
No, your stupid and unhelpful comment aside. The environment has evolved and changed over millions of years in the most delicate balance. Sudden large scale ecological changes by man can have a wide reaching effect all around the globe so it’s hard to predict the outcome of something like this
Skating dangerously close to the naturalistic fallacy with your stupid comment. Ecological changes from any source could be catastrophic for life on earth, people are not a necessary precondition.
The areas of China with higher percentages of population is overall getting less water than before as there is more evaporation and China will need to account for this in their water distribution plans.
Imagine if China will started paying Northern Africa to regreen in order to create air rivers that land in the north.
