So, we're not gonna be a maritime empire.We're gonna be a land mass empire, the whole land mass of Europe and into Asia.That's gonna be us. We're gonna take that land.

So just stop and think about that number for a minute.38.5% of the world's habitable land mass is devoted to animal agriculture.It's a huge amount of the land around us.

But it can be done on range lands around the world.And range lands constitute 45% of the land mass.So, there's a huge potential for management of that carbon cycle that can do only good things for all of us.

that has the climate-- the wonderful climate-- of the Mediterranean.It's the only large land mass that has that.It, however, shares something else with the Mediterranean, which is a political system that can look fairly dysfunctional.

But if humans were to stop eating animals and instead replace all of that meat with eating mushrooms, we'd be able to reforest almost allof that 38.5% of the world's habitable land mass that we devote to animal agriculture today.And if we were able to do that-- if you did that in the United States, for example, without reducing any of your existing carbon emissions,

Now, here's this image that I've shown before and as I promised I would reference.on classes of topography that take up 20% of that land mass.

It's moving really fast.And all that effort of the Indian plate moving northward and subducting into the Asian land mass has created the Himalayas, and Everest itselfis a relatively young mountain.

call the Permian period of Earth history. And this was the time where there was the supercontinent, Pangea. All of the land was gathered together as this one enormous land mass stretching from theNorth Pole to the South Pole. And it was a land mass that was ruled by a lot of early relatives and cousins and ancestors of us distant mammal ancestors. But then, in what is now Siberia,these enormous volcanoes started to erupt about 250 million years ago. And these are not volcanoes like those that we know today. It's hard to even envision what these were like.

Now, here's this image that I've shown before and as I promised I would reference.So essentially, we're saying that 80% of the land mass is really not seen as habitable, or preferentially habitable.

is really an example of all the mountains eventually turn into the sea, and they get recycled, and subducted, moved around again.So that's one of the neat things I like about climbing-- is we have this very direct connection to land mass.So if you're out climbing, you're on a rock that's-- if you're in Yosemite, it's 90 million years old.

Dinosaurs emerged from the worst mass extinction in the history of life. The closest life has ever come to completely dying out. And this happened about 250 million years ago at the end of what wecall the Permian period of Earth history. And this was the time where there was the supercontinent, Pangea. All of the land was gathered together as this one enormous land mass stretching from theNorth Pole to the South Pole. And it was a land mass that was ruled by a lot of early relatives and cousins and ancestors of us distant mammal ancestors. But then, in what is now Siberia,

He was a retired Air Force general who now served in a leading position in the National Intelligence Council in Washington, DC.And he had just completed a project, which had been classified and then had just been declassified, that came to conclude that 60% of the world's land mass and 40of our 50 US states would, by the year 2025-- which now is only 10 years away-- would be experiencing

So this was not sort of uppermost in my mind at the time.What did occur to me, though, is that if we have a problem coming of such extraordinary scale as 60% of the world's land mass is going to face water scarcityand 80% of the United States were going to have water scarcity issues, it struck me as essential that our policy
