One reason it isn't: many 'experts' underestimate how much we rely on other species for survival. This is an https://twitter.com/JKSteinberger/status/1299610883262382080

the damage being done by something like industrial agriculture (deforestation, pesticides, soil depletion, overconsumption of water, waste of energy, etc) is now merging with the impacts of abrupt climate change to threaten human survival. We know 3-5°C will wreck

the living world to some severe degree, and maybe even 1-2°C is already enough (think of the corals and forests now tipping into annihilation) as shown by the articles I'll include at the end of this thread.
