But we are near to filling the surface of the Earth with wheat
fields. When we finally destroy the remaining tropical jungles for
farming land, not only will there be no new land to more food, we will
also have damaged the climate system irrevocably. Without tree cover
the Amazon will become a desert, and also release even more CO2 into
an climate system that is about to collapse.
Think about it!
Cheers, Alastair.
