The Amazon is burning because there are too many people living on this planet. Earth is Easter Island on a large scale.
I care about the Amazon about as much as I care about the Antarctic and about as much as I care about Mars.
People love to virtue signal.
Whatever.
The “Amazon is burning” because all forests burn for one reason or other. The shocking thing is that this spurs growth and they regrow. What a shock! Who knew??? cnn...The Always LIE Network for Nitwits.
Aren't all the Dem candidates eating port at the Iowa Fair? Maybe they should eat some good Cuban Sugar cotton candy instead.
Every time an American eats a burger a jungle monkey catches on fire.
Most millenials will read this as amazon.com is burning.
In a Perfect World they would process trees of the Amazon into charcoal over which we could grill our beef.
Us serfs will be eating “Impossible Burgers” and Soylent Green as “meat” in the future.
If, suddenly, overnight, every human being on Earth became a Vegetarian, imagine all the farmland that would be needed to feed them!.
Feeding livestock is actually a way to concentrate food so that it can be more efficiently managed............
The Vegans are like the gays .... trying to cram their way of living down everyone else’s throats. The latest rage with Progressives/envirowienies is vegetables only .... anti-meat. The interesting thing is that the SAD (Standard American Diet) & other diets heavy in veggies/grains, low in meat/fat, are NOT based on actual “science”. In fact, real science shows the opposite and you can actually REVERSE Type 2 Diabetes (which is on the rise, same consequences at Type 1 as far as diabetic retinopathy, amputations, kidney failure, etc.). It’s more than disgusting .... it’s nutritional medical malpractice for doctors to not put their patients on a low carb diet & treat T2D with diet, but instead hit them with pills (metformin, glucophage) & then when the pills no longer work, hit them with insulin in ever-increasing amounts. Sorry for the rant, but this has become a “mission” for me - educating people I know and/or love that they CAN get off insulin and return to normal A1c readings with a low carb, high healthy fat diet. BTW, saturated fat is not responsible for heart disease .... the villain is “inflammation” .... how to get inflamed? Eat lots of carbs, grains & vegetable seed oils.
“While this may be business as usual for Brazil’s beef farmers, the rest of the world is looking on in horror.”
Well? Cut them a check for the land.
Is that hard?
“The rest of the world looks on in horror.”
Nonsense
The Amazon is burning because of Brazil’s ethanol laws, and now that they’ve more recently limited the sugar-cane plantations to certain areas, the increasing number of plantations are shoving everything else out - moving cattle ranches from where they have been for decades to new locations.
***The vast majority of the fires have been set by loggers and ranchers to clear land for cattle.***
So what is the difference between burning the forest off for cattle or burning it off to plant soybeans to make imitation meat!
Even though not directly stated by CNN, the implication is the US should care more & certainly do more. IE: $$$$$$.
Why isn’t there an expectation that S America should care more. Should educate their own people & spend the $$$. Why shouldn’t the rest of the world step it up? What the US did in the 20th century regarding land management, clean air & clean water is amazing. All the while our population was growing. Balance is the key, but the US shouldn’t be the only country to have it. And I feel like the biggest burden of responsibility & balance falls on the shoulders of conservatives because we UNDERSTAND!
Is it just me, or did this story seem to just pop up out of nowhere?
A week ago, there hadn’t been a mention of the Brazilian Rain Forests for maybe 20 years. Today, it is the crisis du Jour, with every media outlet screaming about it like the fires just started yesterday.
Looks like everybody in the MSM got their 4:00 am talking points right on schedule.
Forest fires have been burning unchecked on earth for millions of years. Extinguishing them is a modern concept. Furthermore, as anyone who’s been around real jungles knows, the jungle always wins. Holding the foliage back takes constant maintenance.
Bitchin’ Liberal ‘Elites’ can chip in too.. or all of 'em can shut up about it...
