> The same reason that turning the Amazonian rainforest into farmland has not been an awesome thing. It’s extremely productive land, so whatever extent it “has not been awesome” it has nothing to do with your false claim that we physically can’t increase the amount of arable land. The reason farming the Amazon has been bad is because farmer’s land rights are in a weird limbo state there, where they’re incentivized to deplete the land as quickly as possible with soy and then stick a few cattle on the soy-depleted land in order to maintain their land claim. > ushering in an age of starvation for our children and grandchildren If there’s an age of poverty coming, it’s more likely going to be because misguided or duplicitous “environmentalists” succeeded in their goal of enforcing poverty on people with the goal of reducing humanity’s net energy production. > Check the prices at your supermarket Oh please; I’m sure everyone here is familiar with the strategy of blaming the inevitable deadweight loss imposed by government economic interference on the progressive cause du jour. Yeah, inflation is caused by global warming and not by the fed increasing the cash supply 30% in a year.
