The problem is that agriculture is limited in hilly uplands (which are ecologically the most important places to avoid deforesting) because you don't want a tractor to tip over. However those places can now be cleared for solar.
>That wilderness isn’t going to be there anyway if we don’t address climate change as fast as we can.
By the same token, fixing climate change won't matter if we don't have any wilderness services left.
Either crisis will be catastrophic, and we need to fix both. I sometimes worry that we focus too much on just GHG climate change, to the exclusion of other issues like biodiversity, water, soil, etc.
