UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson made a controversial joke during a climate change discussion, suggesting that "human beings could be fed to the animals" as part of a "rewilding" effort. The comment was made in the context of COP26 and the need to rebalance the natural world. While intended as a joke, it drew attention to the sometimes extreme rhetoric surrounding global population and environmentalism.
George Monbiot, Capitalism Overthrow, Plant-Based Mandates
Guardian columnist and activist George Monbiot advocates for a total system change to address the environmental crisis, calling for the overthrow of capitalism. His proposals include a mandatory shift to plant-based diets, the cessation of air travel, and the abandonment of GDP as a measure of human welfare. Monbiot also promotes "rewilding" as a method to draw down carbon dioxide by restoring forests and marshes.
