We’re burning down the world in record low numbers!
I mean, sure, better than the opposite, but seriously? I’d like to see the post where we are restoring the Amazon in record numbers, this post is just aboringdystopia type post
You have to start somewhere man. Yeah we need a lot more to be done all around the world. But stopping deforestation is a good thing. We’re here for good news and we just got some!
I agree with you
The problem is that I’ve been alive probably much longer than you, and I’ve seen news like this a hundred times already.
Next year the Amazon will again be burned down at record speed because of some new president that was elected who thinks that trees are useless wastes of space or something like that.
I would call it good news when the entire Amazon, all of it, is declared a nature preserve that humanity has to protect at all cost.
That will never happen. The best we can hope for is that it disappears a little slower.
And “we have to start somewhere”? Do you know how many “starts” I’ve seen over the decades? Where we need to start is getting rid of the rich, the billionaires, the centillionaires, the Wall Street types that add nothing to this world, just takes from it, the dictators, the fascists, all of it. Those are the actual problem. Climate change is just a symptom of the illness that is them
Let’s celebrate the wins when we get them, but continue pressuring governments to punish those that destroy the rainforest, and you can help with that wherever you live, Farmers burn down the rainforest for cattle farming, don’t buy meats from the countries that allow it to persist, that don’t punish the wealthy that finance it instead of the poor that are usually caught in raids.
Yeah, it can be deceptive to focus on rates when the absolute value is even more important
The other day I was very slowly and carefully kicked in the nuts. They cautiously took all my money…ahh Taxes! Yup.
