"to the erosion of culture and livelihoods of a nomadic group called the Gujjars" Ok, I object to the use of an environmental term here ... a lot. It's a false metaphor, used for charlatan effect by the writer trying to be "creative". Global warming will likely displace, at a minimum, 2 billion people in the coming decades. Want to know what erodes culture? Displacement of entire societies and civilizations. I count myself a liberal, but this kind of liberal hand-wringing is very counterproductive. Eggshells will be broken in attempting to avert climate change., and handwringing over animal grazing over land that very likely was deforested for that purpose (and for subsistence agriculture)... This isn't about "culture", that usual NIMBY roadblocks, of the liberal version this time, to block necessary economic and political change. While the article highlights obvious management problems (wrong species, wrong timing and tree management to ensure it takes root, perverse economic incentives), reforestation has enormous potential as one of a hundred necessary simultaneous fronts of the climate effort/war. We need reforestation. Carbon capture. EV transition. Energy efficiency. Strong carbon taxes on fuel. Olivine. Reduced meat/artificial meat/fake meat. Better agricultural technologies and techniques. New cement manufacturing processes. Nuclear. Solar. Wind. Energy Storage. Geothermal. Telecommuting. Tax changes to incent urban concentration rather than suburbs. Biofuels/algal fuels/synthetic fuel from carbon. But above everything will be change, experimentation, adaptation. Which everyone hates, produces winners and losers, and will exact a human cost, even though that real cost will be far less than the potential cost, something humans are absolutely awful at understanding. I guess what is most concerning is that global warming requires global coordination and cooperation, but the future will be one of climate wars and resource wars. I wonder if we have but a couple decades of a window for policy cooperation before things fall apart because of stresses from global warming and things descend into madness. So what's need is humanism, but not some junk like "we need to preserve this small tribe's outmoded economic basis!!!" for, what, anthropological purposes? Happy Saturday!
