sentence them to a minimum of ten years apiece planting new trees in the Amazon. Rinse and repeat with all gangster capitalists running the logging racket, anywhere in the world. Daft day-dreaming? Stranger things have come to pass unexpectedly, under the pressure of emergency... And btw, savannah forest permaculture, in middling-dry parts of the world, works well with substantial herds of (tastily edible) ungulates as quite natural elements of the whole nature-mimicking design. The proper approach to animal protein foods is to use them very sparingly, as condiments. Plenty of scope in permaculture practice to raise animals to that level of demand. It's just that the Pampered Twenty Percent have to get used to not having animal protein as a main staple in every goddamned meal - as was customary for everyone in the world until the recent - transient - splurge-it-all-to-buggery episode amongst the PTP (us!). PS: That still leaves unresolved that other member of the Synergising Global Crises team to do with population overshoot, where we are already, with no sign of any actually-humane resolution of that problem in sight yet. The default Gaian solution will be more painful, but we seem to be settling for that. The best-case scenario there is that our aggregate death-rate creeps a couple of percentage points ahead of the birth-rate, as a result of all the pressures that are pushing us in that direction right now, and then stays in that setting for a few decades, whilst our numbers shrink spontaneously. Meanwhile, large-scale reforestation, either by design or by simple default, is a most promising approach to our growing crises; most promising by far, it's beginning to seem.
