I think technically you are correct. The earth could become essentially a farm, with a bunch of giant monoculture croplands that provide feed, oxygen, mulch, etc. The downside is that the lush, unfathomable nature documentaries of the present will be a curiosity from the past. But there is a pretty large population of humans who is already on board with something quite close to this transition. They live between farms and ranches deserts and cities and don’t see nature as anything but raw material to groom. So I think your sarcasm is misplaced. We need a real story for those people. Why should they care that everything over a kilogram could go extinct and ConAgra become responsible for seeding formerly wild spaces with geo-engineering products that maximize economic growth?
