A review of available techno-fixes leads to two unavoidable conclusions. First, our problem is not just carbon emissions per se; it’s also how we humans inhabit our planet (too many of us using too much stuff too fast). And second, we need non-technological ways of addressing the climate crisis.

If we ban meat consumption, we get a lot of land back. Seems doable.

    The article makes the point several times that the oceans have greater capacity for carbon capture than land.

    So, yes, you're right that we need to ban meat and reforest those spaces.

    And also, we desperately need to ban fishing to get that carbon sequestration capacity back from the oceans.
