Desertification is the process of growing further desert
through tree cutting. Just as humankind created deserts,
we can eliminate them through the planting and irrigation
of zillions of trees.

Yes, Cutting trees can cause deserts, but not all deserts are cause by cutting trees. Mountain ranges also have a significant impact on the creation of deserts, and there is a serious lack of deserts in Northern Africa.

Or are you suggestions that the Romans pulled down the mountains as well.
