Let me get this right. Farmers, who are already struggling to meet ends, will have to pay CO2 tax in order to produce FOOD that we all need to SURVIVE and not starve to death? What diabolical plan is that?
I am the a huge fan of forests and spend a lot of time in the woods, but man, more trees will not feed us.
A big percentage of the land usage are to grow crops to feed animals to feed us.
If we bring back our meat consumption (especially beef) to something more balanced for our health we can free-up a massive amount of surface.
I'm not saying that everyone should be vegetarian or vegan. I'm following the notes of the IPCC and studies that says that we can, and should, reduce some of our meat consumption and get those proteines from all the many other sources (peas, tofu...).
Beef is the coal of food. Lets progress to something more efficient, dense and good for our environment and our health.
They are already massively subsidized and this will only increase their subsidies. In Denmark farmers control government similarly to the way big oil abd gunmakers control government in the US.
