Amazon

I guess everyone is okay with using 20% less O2. Jazz can be the first to make the sacrifice.

I am already breathing less to help out here in Canada.

There are 5 million sq kms of amazon. Do you think the whole thing is going to burn? I bet a larger area burns in Canada every yr. And if we know anything about after a fire, the forest comes back pretty fast. We do controlled burns every year for that very purpose. hardly alarming.

The monsoon season starts in a month. Problem solved.

Now if you want to talk forest clear cutting to feed too many mouths in countries without the resources for their populations then we have something to discuss.

Perhaps Agstar's thread starter was a little vague and could be interpreted in different ways. I didnt take it as a direct climate change issue but maybe. Having said that I think the reference to China may be more related to our market share and the newly cleared Amazon fertile land, yes a man made issue that I'm against both as a sensitive natural environment and as more competition for our markets. You should all be concerned, the old "they ain't making any more farmland" just dont cut it.

Maybe our jester at the France summit can do a little dance and then try to impose taxes on nations with forests burning.

Kinda reminds me of how California was burning up and the State was going to die ....... ohhh the humanity. But hey wait 6 months later. All the reservoirs filled up from a return to rains and heavy winter snows .
Funny how that just got swept under the rug .....

Funny how not one known fact being said in the media about August into September is the driest season of the year for the Amazon.... nope the average person has no idea that the worlds largest rain forest goes through a dry spell , annually this time of year ...

"Macron couldn't save Notre Dame but he wants to protect the rainforest". I think Canada poured a pile of cash into rebuilding the burnt church as well.
