A bit tangential perhaps....

Except each of those three pictograms need a 3 diagram to show the fall in the cost of food/the number of houses built on fertile floodplains/population increases/the acres of agricultural land covered with concrete runways to facilitate needless holiday travel, etc etc.

All to easy to focus on the farmer, when his choices are driven by or constrained by societies ruthless demands.

Unless you can persuade the Green Party supporters to turn up and labour manually for free like the serfs of old, to support the non-mechanical food husbandary they so apparently favour.

And eat the very plain fare so provided, you want another bowl of pottage there Jonathan and Siân?

The solutions is simple Marcus!

 - immigration moratorium

Meh!
I ud worry more about a big fucking meteorite crash-bang-walloping into the Earth.
And as easy to predict or prevent as any of our present perceptions of climate instability.
mth

Then there’s the possibility of a volcanic eruption that spews enough crap into the atmosphere to makes our efforts of killing our planet small beer.
I do believe in global warming, although I also believe it is an easy revenue generator for governments through tax. How can you argue against paying tax when your burning fossil fuels and you know you’re doing damage.
A salmon fishing friend was on board a survey ship which has been monitoring Atlantic sea temperatures. What they’ve discovered is that sea temperatures have risen to an extent that Grilse ( mature but lower weight salmon that return to their river after one sea winter, as against a multi-sea wintering fish) cannot find the prey in the feeding areas they are programmed to go to. The increase in sea temp has made krill and other pelagic prey move further north to colder waters. The Grilse that return are consequently thin and small. Their evolution cannot allow them to work out the problem.
There again if they do make it back there’s 5 times the number of seals (from the 1960s) on the east coast and sea lice infestation on the west coast from bad salmon farming practice awaiting fish in poor condition.

And that’s just salmon affected by a sea temperature rise of one degree.

Assuming you believe humans cause it, or most of it (I don't) then anything we do is pretty meaningless and symbolic at best. China, India, Russia, USA etc. There's a lot of people in the world who want a better standard of living, and their children will want a better standard too. And they will have it, by fair means or foul. And I'm fairly sure they don't believe in AGW, or, if they do, don't care.

Are you sure about that?  https://www.quora.com/How-long-would-it-take-for-humans-to-produce-the-same-amount-of-CO2-that-Mount-St-Helens-ejected
