Certainly, and I won’t argue that.

But what are you gonna do? Humans are pushing into the forests for agriculture and ranching. Gonna kill those farmers and ranchers? Kill the people driving the increased demand for their products?

These moronic thots have no real solutions. They just want to get views and look like they care. They really don’t though, and just like Cedric the Inordinately Famous Lion that everyone was crying over a few years ago, it will be forgotten in short order. Because it doesn’t exist in any real way for them.

Unless our lives are directly impacted by something, we really can’t care on a visceral level. Just like when someone famous dies, or something happens...it’s only the appearance of caring. No one really gives a shite unless it has a direct impact on us.

Except for the fact that these are being intentionally set and the people clearing them have no intention of ever letting them grow back. But aside from that you're totally right.

Don't worry, he's very familiar with forests in the American South. That makes him literally an expert.

I don't disagree here, but perhaps we need to be a bit more proactive about certain things, as once they do have a direct impact on us it's too late to correct.

The whole proactivity thing.

Aside from his "expertise" I legit have no idea what he's suggesting.

The loss of the Amazon could potentially impact us.

I know, I know...scientific debate and all...but it is a discussion worth having. It is also pretty incredible how ~15% of an area as enormous as the Amazon has been cut down in just 50 years.

Another internet meme becomes gospel to the SJWs.

I've seen that damn Norte Dame/Amazon burning meme a couple dozen times.

But if their idiotic opinions start a conversation and lead to action to stop slash and burn farming/ranching than its a good thing


I do not disagree with this. You can farm and ranch w/o slash-and-burn.

I was thinking about the possibility of some undiscovered life/organism in that area going extinct due to the fire and us never finding out about it. And then considering what an urgent and dire situation folks would claim it to be if somehow we were aware of the same situation.

In other words, it's amazing how awareness from just enough people of something that would otherwise come and go with no impact to anything or anyone, can turn into a global crisis, simply because they want it to, for whatever reason.

I'm saying no forest ever died from a fire, and we burn our timberland fairly often which cleans the woods and helps prevent wildfires as it removes underbrush and debris such as dead trees and storm damage.

You wanna really be honest? You wanna get real proactive and get to the true root of the problem?


Too many people have it too good. You want to make a real impact? Then put on your reaper hood and sharpen your scythe because a LOT of motherfrickers are gonna have to die.

The people that can least provide for themselves are breeding above the carrying capacity for the areas they live in. The prosperity and technology of the west has lifted their standards but not their innate aspects.



Be it through disease, famine, fire or sword, only a drastic reduction of human life on this planet is going to have a real impact.

And I don’t think most people are ready to take an actual step. So yeah, spare me the purse wringing of instagram thots over somewhere they’ve never been.

If they really care about the rainforest then they better go start looping off the heads of farmers like they are in Zimbabwe

They arent the only ones. I have also seen that same exact statement about the lungs of the planet burning but all the media is worried about is protecting illegal immigrants.

I don't disagree with you

And yeah, the people doing the most damage are the ones who have the least awareness of the impact of their actions on the rest of the globe (looking at you India and China). And the poorest, most needy people are the ones multiplying the fastest...which is obviously a terrible thing.

ETA: I can't keep up with all these new terms. What the frick is a thot? I still don't even know what a cuck is.

I mean, people want to fix the problem but they don’t want to fix the problem.


“You’re burning down the rainforest to grow more crops.”

Sounds like we need less people to feed. I guess we can cut out those who aren’t buying their own food first.

Better yet we can turn them into food and save even more rainforest.

A cuck is a man who knowingly lets another guy frick his woman, and not in a swinger situation.

No worries. This will be forgotten by this time next week and the next fake crisis will be ready for the dittoheads to pontificate about.
It's all so predictable.

I guess most people still don't realize the rainforest is manmade once inhabited by millions of people.
