What If We Lost The Amazon Rainforest?

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
How long would it take for the world's largest rainforest to burn down? If we don't do anything to stop it, we'll soon find out. The Amazon rainforest creates 20% of the Earth's oxygen. It's home to 30% of the planet's species, and it holds the secrets to treating some of our most deadly diseases. If we destroy the Amazon rainforest, the consequences would be disastrous, and they'd be felt all around the world. Could we survive without it? Correction: we got the percentage wrong at

I read a few responses and, to me, only one person's comment is headed in the right direction.
My response will skirt the truth because of the nature of the overall population of responders:
It's more than just $. The destruction of the rain forest is a part of a larger plan. The entire world is being pushed strategically in a specific direction and, little by little, we are headed there- an economic crash here, a default there, an increase in national debt over there, hyperinflation here.
Here's the connection:
The destruction of the rain forest will inevitably affect the weather and weather affect crops, crop yields, and the livestock. The smaller the yield, the higher the cost to purchase goods. Correct?
Now, if you have high prices and a major global economic collapse, you will have desperate people. Correct?
These desperate people will be willing to conform to basically anything to survive. See where I am going? What will people be willing to conform to? The answer to that question is where we are slowly headed. -

Well Europeans cut down all the forest in North America from the 1600s to 1900s for colonization, extermination of the Native Americans, and extinction of species. How about regrowing some forest in USA and reducing the colonization of the rainforest by Europeans this century? Both would be better. And we must not forget corruption and the desire to make a profit Trump the rainforest in Brazil. The government will tell you one thing but farmers, big oil, mining companies, and the government all are contributing to its destruction and don-t care. In reality why would they? They have zero incentive to stop, I mean Brazil is already a hot, tropical climate and the climate change probably won-t directly effect Brazil. Perhaps the world governments should get serious about climate change and provide incentives to really stop rainforest destruction based on measurable results. Time will tell but I won-t hold my breath on saving the rainforest

Scientists actually proved that the Amazon makes 6-9% of the world's oxygen or maybe none at all and 50% of the world's oxygen comes from phytoplankton found in the oceans. But it is still important to save it as gives home to many species and tribes that have been here for a long time. Even if it gives 9% or 1% it is still important that we save the Amazon Rainforest.

Being Brazilian yes it-s sad and it-s a heart breaking but we are getting worse! Yes politicians are to be blamed a lot but not everything! You see the gold miners are digging gold and polluting the rivers and killing sweet innocent animals too, and also the Military Police and our eco system knows that-s is getting worse

Attach high carbon steel bits and chunks of industrial diamonds to trees as they grow so the foreign objects eventually get encapsulated in the tree of forest that should probobly be protected.
This will wear down or break tree cutting equipment and be the adaptation the trees won't be able to accomplish themselves.

The Amazon may produce O2 but fossil fuels do not produce carbon and CO2 is NOT a greenhouse gas. That is because CO2 is nearly 2x denser than air itself and remains on the ground. It is a trace gas at 0. 04% of the atmosphere. Burning of fossil fuels has absolutely no effect on Earth's climate at all whatsoever.

USA is the country that created the most wars and destruction in human history.
You and the communists destroy and kill.
You are fast food-eating idiots, and money-worshippers.
80% of the Amazon Forest is virgem, intact. Get out liers, you want ores and wood from Amazon.

reply

What a shame!
USA richest country in the world has done nothing about climate change
Usa is so rich still its second largest carbon emittor in the world
I can't say anything about poor countries, they can't invest in renewable energy as its quite expensive

reply

I-m always called an alarmist whenever I talk about the risk to these major forests. Yes they are large, but we are on a trajectory towards reaching a point of no return in a matter of decades. We-ve slowed down on it since the 90s, but it-s not enough.
reply

Its not 100 years at this deforesration rate. The amazon forest is self sustaining by recycling its own water. If you cut down 20%, the rest doesn't have enough water to survive and it dies completly in a chain reaction. And we already there.
reply

ridiculously False
-The Amazon rainforest creates 20% of the Earth's oxygen-
__
most likely True:
-Malhi explains in his blog post, the net contribution of the Amazonian ecosystem to the world-s oxygen level is -effectively zero. -

reply

Earth forests does create 20% of oxygen, it includes African rainforests and Boreal forests as oxygen sources, also Asian rain forests. Therefore Amazon rain forest is not creating 20% of oxygen! Not even nearly!
reply

The current brazilian government's been investing a lot of money to keep and protect the Amazon rainforest, though the mainstream media deny it. Don't believe the fake brazilian press nor the criminal NGOs.
reply

How cute. US and Europe got to devastate their forests in order to create loads of resources and become 1st World countries. When we try to do the same, it's -bad for the planet-. You imperialist scum.

Govt. Have to Make a rule. kill the person who cuts the tree. It will help to reduce human population, less useless people on Earth and increase plants growth rate.
reply

i don't think Africa would be enough to produce much oxygen for everyone in the world. it's interesting to see how Southamerica is very important to the world.
reply

80% of the Amazon forest is still virgin, intact.
You, not Brasil, destroyed yours forests and killed all your animals.
Amazon is Brasilian!

reply

Whoever reads this we have to work together as a human civilisation to protect the Amazon rain forest and fight global warming we can't lose the earth
reply

Go see it now folks before it-s gone. Because I would bet my life that humans will destroy all of the Amazon. I 100% guarantee we will. It-s inevitable.
reply

It-s sad that scientist predict that the Amazon rainforest will be completely gone in 40 years from now if they keep doing it at a rapid speed
reply

If we lose the rain forest we will not have oxygen. So um kill the rain forest so we now pay for oxygen mauahahahha. Go captian pollution lol
reply

That's the mismanagement and corruption that cause environmental disasters. and terrible climate change led to human civilization collapsed. -
reply

This is actually making me panic its horrible sitting back knowing that all this is happening and there is nothing I can do to stop it
reply

Don't worry humans are not doing any harm to the planet because the planet will just heal itself when humans are extinct.
reply

Imagine just giving away the rainforest to a country from another world just imagine what will happen in this world
reply

POV: Your geography teacher sent you ty is video on show my homework and your doing this really late at night rn
reply

89% of the poeple saying stop climate change
12% of the poeple actually doing something to climate change

reply

Well climate change affect the economy and more no oxygen the solution is to plant 1 million trees in a month
reply

As a Brazilian citizen, Amazon rainforest is our most precious treasure. Im glad What if remember that.
