5 Torontos worth of forest is nothing. In BC for just the last two years we lost forest half the size of Switzerland to fires. If you think how much land is cleared and maintained clear for agriculture in Canada, 5 Torontos is a rounding error.
Land is cheap and abundant it's a non-issue for the kind of area we'd need to even power the whole world 100% on solar.
Habit losses would be more than made up for by not continuing to accelerate climate change.
