So it would seem that the amazon has been on fire for the last 3 weeks, where is the out cry on the news, where are the billionaires to save the lungs of the earth.

Such a shame, the biodiversity in the Amazon is like nowhere else on Earth. Plus however many thousands of indigenous people will either be without a home or worse, killed, since the fires started. No doubt many of them were started on purpose to clear room for cattle ranching.

This really gets me.Often the rangers that are there to protect the rainforests are often underfunded and are up against it.Whats sad is these beautiful trees have taken years to establish themselves and are then just chopped down instantly for quick profit. Regeneration will sadly take time .Something which to many people in Brazil dont  seem preoccupied about.

Only heard about this yesterday. Absolutely shocking why it's not more prominent.

To be fair, on top of the standard environmental groups and the scientists with their evidence loads of school kids have been 'striking' from school for the last few months to try and speed up the fight against Climate change.

Of course there are plenty of detractors, probably the sort of people who have had "enough of experts." (c) Michael Gove , who just end up looking like morons as per the link below.
