The lengths to which people will go in order to not eat banana…

Mackerel fishing should be cut by 70 per cent to prevent stock collapse, scientists say.

Or, you know, people could “cut” all “fishing” by 100% and avoid the violence and ecological collapse altogether…

What a bunch of bullshit. The title and conclusion, I mean. Of course it’s unlikely that all of the land currently used for animal agriculture will be returned to forest. The problem is not that that land is unavailable for reforestation; it just means that people don’t want to do it. If all of that land were to be reforested, then that would stabilise the climate enough that a gradual phase-out of fossil fuels (e.g. over several decades) would suffice to solve the current climate crisis. Articles like this do more harm than good. We need people to take action, not believing that nothing can be done.
