To answer your question about what would make the date of overshoot move by 8 days, we need to consider the impact of the two options presented:

1. **Recalibrating 200 million hectares of the ocean**: This option is not clearly defined in environmental terms, but if it involves sustainably managing ocean resources or restoring marine ecosystems, it could potentially have a positive impact on carbon sequestration.

2. **Reforestation of 350 million hectares of forest**: This option is a well-established method for reducing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, as trees absorb CO2 during photosynthesis. Reforestation has a significant impact on mitigating climate change and can effectively push back the date of overshoot.

Given these two options, reforestation of 350 million hectares of forest would likely have a more direct and substantial effect on moving the date of overshoot by 8 days. Reforestation is a proven strategy for enhancing carbon sinks, while the impact of recalibrating the ocean is less straightforward without further details.
