They arent cutting down the entire rainforest you fucking retardThomasFremont said:
A few miles?PostGameOrangeSlices said:Canada and Siberia is nothing but fucking trees, but somehow a few miles of rainforest in Brazil is the difference between life and death for humanity
Fuck off leftists. You retards can only cry wolf so many times before people see through your bullshit.
Try ~10% of the global tree population. And almost 20% of the held carbon.
Dumb fuck.
Poont still stands.
I win. -
Wow, confront leftists with the fact that the world isnt ending and youre immediately compared to Nazis
You guys are in a fucking cult, do you not realize that? Jesus -

I agree it sucks, but don’t countries have the right to use their own resources as they see fit?Doog_de_Jour said:I’m not going to get into a screaming match with the doubters of climate change, so let’s put that issue on a shelf for a second. Can we not all agree that cutting down the Amazon rainforest is *bad*?
To me it’s like someone clear cutting the Olympic Rainforest or destroying Yellowstone. There are some natural wonders worth protecting regardless of how it impacts the environment.
Again, I hate how this has been politicized. Make it a damn national park. I hate seeing things of timeless beauty destroyed.
Imagine some country tell us? We can’t cut such and such forests down? -
When the use of those resources has far reschcing consequences for the United States and the world, it’s a different story.greenblood said:

Good luck to any other country telling us what to do.
Did y’all forget we are AMERICA??? -
These countries need to use the resources to keep their citizens alive. It's a huge price to pay, but countries are willing to do anything to prevent a financial rebellion. What the U.S. used to do, and still does in some respect is throw money towards these countries, basically allowing our government to be held for ransom, so they don't resort to destroying the forests and other resources.ThomasFremont said:

Not being a socialist/communist shitbag is 'far right' now. Got it.Gwad said:https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/oct/23/amazon-rainforest-close-to-irreversible-tipping-point
Soaring deforestation coupled with the destructive policies of Brazil’s far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, could push the Amazon rainforest dangerously to an irreversible “tipping point” within two years, a prominent economist has said.
After this point the rainforest would stop producing enough rain to sustain itself and start slowly degrading into a drier savannah, releasing billions of tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere, which would exacerbate global heating and disrupt weather across South America. -
