who think this is okay to do. They care about the paycheck or the dividend check not realizing it's being paid by the bleeding out of our children's lives. As if the information wasn't there! We all know, they all know that the Amazon forests are a vital part of the global ecosystem. But they still cut and clear the land away.

Have you heard the latest findings by archeologists about the Amazon? The people living there prior to the European invasions were living in giant cities integrated into the jungle. When the European diseases wiped almost everyone out, within 50 to 100 years the jungle grew over the cities so much that it was nearly impossible to see traces of the cities that existed there. It took the technology of "lidar" to penetrate the jungle and reveal the ruins and structures throughout the Amazon rain forests. Their architectural practices, city planning and engineering, and their agricultural techniques must have been tightly integrated with the natural laws of the jungle. Because as soon as the people could no longer maintain their cities, the jungles quickly covered them up making them invisible to the eye.

In contrast, our modern agricultural practices require the land be stripped bare so they can plow fields as if the land were the same as old Europe. But it's not. It's fragile and within 50 years it will be a desert. When we Europeans invaded and killed off the native cultures here, we lost the chance to learn from the people who had been living here how to treat the land so that it could continue to thrive, and by extension us as well. But no, that's not how people hungry for gold and free land think. Sadly, little has changed for some people to this day.

Trees absorb carbon dioxide as part of their sustenance with the bi-product being oxygen. Do the math.

For one, they propose to forest areas that are not naturally forests, such as the US Great Plains and the African savanna. This would lead to widespread extinction of grassland species.

Everything will be extinct unless we find ‘starters’. Thanks

Yes, problems exist and projections are uncertain, but the overall tone of this article supports the assertion. I don’t think it’s accurate to say this approach is a non-starter.
Cheers.

rainforest destruction -- simply because destruction of Earth's rainforests means destruction of ALL HUMANITY.

THIS.
CONCERNS.
LITERALLY.
EVERYONE.
