Why is asspain so dry?
and you aren't?
>>216279255Is this still a consequence of the romans completely deforesting it because of late stage capitalism o algo?
Because the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plains.
>>216279379>Is this still a consequence of the romans completely deforesting it because of late stage capitalism o algo?fr?pretty sure the ancient britons o algo did that in bongland too
>>216279255Islamic heritage
Spaniards love to claim that Spain is actually a forested country even though it is clearly yellow
>>216279255Our forests are shit tier, invasive species everywhere, fucking acacias and eucalyptus might as well be a fucking desert
>>216279255spain/french border looks like haiti/dominican border. same vibes
>>216279255because that's how planet earth works. looks like someone slept in geography classes
Because the rain in spain stays mainly in the plain.
>>216279379We are the third EU country with the most total forest cover after Sweden and Finland, thougheverbeit.>>216280205>Ireland is a lush paradise because it's green from space or however the chicken tikka masala Nigel ordered is delivered to his house
>>216280205they paint their trees yellow according to snopes
>>216279255When they have floods they get fucked up badly. Spaniards can't cope with water. Their floods are fake and gay compared to most floods around the world. Truly god has provided them with the only climate they can handle.Even after moving to Mexico they never learned. It's been 500 years and Mexico still can't handle a light shower.
>>216281713And you can't cope with elephants.
>>216279255You know what is sad, the whole Península was a "giant forest": 'una ardilla podía ir de un extremo a otro de España sin pisar el suelo'. (I know, it's fake, but could be a great goal for the future.)
This is what Spain looks like, which is fairly grim. Everywhere you go, it's just that.
Why can’t we just go reverse Netherlands and artificially flood the arid wastelands ?
>>216283807You mean desalinating sea water? It's pretty energy intensive, there a few water plants built on the Mediterranean coast, that's why tap water tastes shittier there.
>>216283712>nice rolling hills to climb comfortably and get a view of the neighboring valley>animals to look at while you traverse the valley>a grove where you can chill out in the shadeI'd go there for a walking tour in April or September, when the African heat is not at its height. The cultivated landscape also reminds me of Britain more than it does of wild, rugged Slovenia.
>>216279255Because they are arab
>>216283807Gaddaffi did this in libya but (((they))) killed him.Like the other guy said it's pretty expensive but that's not a problem if you have lots of excess resources like any petro-state.
>>216280130deforestation can really mess up the environment for a long time, australia was much more green thousands of years ago but the australoids ended up burning a huge portion of their forests and self perpetuating water cycle they generate

>>216284149This. Only the northern Cantabrian part of Spain is white; the rest is Moroccan and Romani.
>>216279255Spain is just MENA but with white pipo in the north.
>>216283712Soul. This is what Cervantes was picturing in his writing.
>>216279379they also blew up entire mountains for their mines all over in iberia, cool technique for the time but i bet that is a cause for their dryness aswell
brown peepo made it look like home
>>216279255>>216279340My arab ancestors :)
Is it any surprise that so many spaghetti westerns were filmed in Spain? This looks exactly like Arizona.
>>216283964Would have assumed he meant digging to create bodies of water
>>216283712>which is fairly grimhow so
>>216279255it's cause the world turns east west. most west coasts on most continents are dry as shit. california, peru and namibia are dry as shit too
>>216283712looks like Sicilian kino in a mafia movie
I know this is a bait thread but Spain gets fairly green in winter compared to that image
>>216279379>>216283712They actually did this to themselves by converting all of central castile into a giant sheep grazing ground during the imperial period in the 1500s i think. Medieval Spain wasn't like this.
>>216289496>green in winterWhat.
>>216289583End of winter/start of spring I should have said.
>>216279255
>>216289647Iraq had swamps before Islam.
