With Brazil’s new president promoting more deforestation, this is pretty grim.
He's another climate denier. Those photos are just terrible. Jesus Christ. Can't people even refrain from burning down the freaking Rainforest?

Bolsonaro has clearly shown his affinity for Trump and that is why many have called him the Trump of the Tropics. They have both spoken highly of each other.
So either embrace your boys or get out of dodge....you are either all in on this populist plague or you are just pretenders.
They should own it. But perhaps the sight of the Amazon Rainforest burning even gave them pause.

And I don't get that at all. One would think it would be just the opposite. God can be found in the forest and on the mountain as well as in a (real) church.
I don't think rain forests start to burn all by themselves. Nor do they chop themselves down.
A tree in the Amazon is more valuable than a tree in Germany. The Amazon is a giant, unique, complex ecosystem.
Sure, reforestation in Europe and elsewhere is better than nothing, but it is not the same as compensating for a chopped down Amazon. Especially when at the same time rain forests are also being destroyed in Indonesia and such Asian countries, often because of palm oil production.
So come up with a way to pay people in Brazil not to cut down the rain forests. Otherwise they have a right to survive.

On this board, types like you are so negative you'd think we'd believe you are going to die tomorrow because your life sucks so bad at other's expense that are happy. Move and save your neighbors the pain. Enrich what's left of your life. No one can do it but you. Maybe a go fund me?
[quote=Eumaois;55986005]How much of that rain forest gets damaged by people and how much is natural damage?[/QUOTE
What is normal or natural to you? Fires or earthquakes? Flooding ? Larger ants ? Not in too often in Brazil. There is actually a segment maybe from nat geographic- that showed the huge process or recycling that happens when a leaf falls. Astonishing and wonderful how the Forrest it feeds itself. Man should not touch it. Where Peta and the green folks ?!

That's nice. My license plate can also be seen from space. Point?
There have been a bunch of fires around here this summer. Just like every summer as far back as I can remember.
Significant because the amazon is home to a diverse amount of plants and animals and it acts as a huge filtration system for the air. A significant burning and no one is doing anything. Losing a huge chunk of the amazon would be catastrophic..
I find it absolutely hilarious that people are all of a sudden concerned about deforestation down there. Not too long ago before Trump was in office and this topic came up about South Americans cutting down the forests at a rapid pace the climate hoaxers all said, so what, the South American people have a right to make a living by logging those areas and when it was mentioned that those forests are critical to the planet's atmosphere all we were told is it's only a small percentage, we'll be fine. Bunch of fakes.
