Okay, I have some doubts about this climate

The Amazon Rainforest has always been of interest to me, and the reports of the deforestation are so alarming.
They talk of the tipping point, but yet, there is so little help in that area while it continues on.

I agree, it is unfortunate, I wish it wasn't happening and believe it will have global level impacts. I have seen deforestation on the ground in the Amazon, and in Indonesia, I hate it.

However we are not in a great position to lecture others on this one. We cut most all of our native forests years ago, with significant impact. It seems to me places like Brazil are just doing what we did. And it does help their economies, producing timber and cattle, and opening new areas to settlement and farming. Same benefits we enjoyed from doing it here.

I have also seen deforestation in the US, and hate seeing that too...

It is a complex problem, not one I know a solution to. The real problem is population, too many people on the earth...
