and where does the energy and fertilizer come from to do that? right, fossil fuels. Last I checked, there's a currently an existential threat linked to use of those that are the main driver for why all these initiatives are going on.

I'm not happy about it either but its a choice between each individual's footprint going down or reducing the amount of individuals.

What exactly is the existential threat? If population is at all time highs, if lifespans are at all time highs, if crop yields are at all time highs, if deaths from natural disasters are at all time lows, what is the existential threat?

well, lets see here.. its currently causing increased forest fires, rising sea levels, desertification, glaciers melting, destabilization of the sea currents, collapsing ecosystems.

DO I need to spell it out for you or are you willfully living under a rock?
