Cookie Cream Burn more and faster mankind has become a pointless capitalist system ENLIGHTENMENT Destroyed the church and monarchal systems now capitalists are bringing those ideas back through lack of education and competition…. BURN EVERYTHING , Lunar colony or Dust….
@Marcos Filho yes
Our world is dying.
@Michael Grant JR
“Just fine” is a stretch. A species a day to extinction isn’t reversible.
Yes because u r killing it with your stupid comment!!!
Lighten up, sunshine.
@Marcos Filho stop copy and pasting you’re delusional and have serious mental issues
Nature Heals.Earth isn’t dying.We are.
All that life ruined including treasures from mother nature . Man is wicked.
If we could capture Noriega 30 years ago…. why can’t we go in and capture Bolsonaro now? Yes, a controversial idea to
bring up, but the future
of the planet is at risk from the Amazon fires… and this rogue is in full denial mode. He thinks greed/profits are above the planet’s future. SMH
@showlogicprod The US MILITARY had army bases in Panama . Forces in Puerto rico And a 1000 miles in Texas . Brazil is at least 4000 miles away Puerto rico is the nearest Army base . And it is 1 few 1000 miles From Brazil . Brazil is not Panama it has and Army with modern weapons .Why would Trump attack his dictator friend .
@LUIS VELEZ
Never said it would happen, or would happen easily. But it should happen…. whether trump luvs his twin or not.
Those are not treasures, just trees.
You’ve been watching too many hollywood movies woman
@Ken Rascon
Explain the Amazon rainforest, how it works, it’s function in helping the climate.
Let’s save the Earth
The Earth have survived much worse. Humans on the other hand is another story. The Earth will purge and replenish.
@아랑ARang
Ummm……14 BILLION people will inhabit the earth within 100 years. You think recycling is gonna help?
If you think this is bad Africa is burning even more…. Amazon is the only one getting attention though
Earth is going to turn into Mars
Buy a Tesla car.
Stop eating Korean BBQ.
Many medical clinicians truly believe the secrets to curing cancer, or cancers can be found under the biodome of the Amazon rain forest, Oh well. Who are we to stand in the way of .. . of progress?
We’re biological, who says we deserve to cure cancer? Humanity is a parasite on the planet always assuming it’s owed salvation. Fires happen all over every year, and they allow regrowth with ash nutrients.
@Meow please do read a book, while the leaves contend with humidity the root structures and trees themselves aren’t wet enough not to burn. Perhaps a bit of studying would inform you about fact? Same fact that realizes humidity will vary based on exposure to outside air sources.
chris madsen There is more than one way through different mechanisms so more cancer treatments is better than less. Duh.
@Sir Loxley Mendoza But were they really??
@Epic wrong, investment in what works or holds promise is better than investment in new discovery and bringing to a point of trials or even distribution.
“Human greed is the cancer of the planet”
Don’t forget to get angry at lightning b/c of its firestarting ability.
@Eric p – Shhhh! Facts just get in the way of liberal outrage – particularly when there are non-human animals and people of color involved. Fire is privileged and racist, I’m sure I’ll be told. 😆 https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/aug/26/amazon-fires-normal-agriculture-despite-internatio/
nature is much more “destructive” than man. Fires in forests are most often caused by lightning. These fires are yearly occurences here.. it’s currently being broadcasted for political reasons.
Yep. If we could capture Noriega 30 years ago…. why can’t we go in and capture Bolsonaro now? Yes, a controversial concept to
bring up, but the
future of the planet is at risk from the Amazon fires… and this rogue is in full denial mode. He thinks greed/profits are above the planet’s future. SMH
Too many people.
glad I have no kids.
Yes. As an asian. People looked me weirdly. I say, how irresponsible are you to think children as your retirement plans and subject them to this crazy world!
When humans become extinct, this world will breathe a sigh of relief.
Pineapple that’s like saying humans are bad because of hitler
O P it’s humans. We polluted this earth. We made many species go extinct. We destroyed our planet. So it’s humans.
Yeah, then lightning strikes will account for 100% of fires.
O P I can’t believe you’re that dumb the fire happened because of us
The Amazon is currently become the 8 wonder of the ancient world. Very sad
If it’s become the 8 wonder the soon humans would be 9th wonder of the ancient world
Leaf blowers and shovels wont put out a forest fire. Smdh
@aquinxy Well if a Tsunami hits that fire it will
Won’t happen tho
Winter Frost if it did it would kill fall more in the process
@Lotus Auer We’re talking about putting out the fire
No one was lives counted
Those fires are set by the landowners to clear out the brush. The land has already been deforested years ago. Property owners lit it on fire not climate change.
Winter Frost you’re talking about a potential tsunami hitting almost in the center of a continent, not putting out the fire.
Guys amazon is not happy to see that the amazon rain forest is on fire
Environmental Genocide😡 this is a crime against humanity.
If u think about it, it’s likely kinda our fault lmao
@Miles North
Lighting? Is that what we’re calling cattle ranchers these days?
@PurpleStikyPunch – Lightning is natural and a common event, so is setting backfires for overgrown and dead brush. Stop w/the pearl-clutching, drama queen, and learn a bit about forestry science.
https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/aug/26/amazon-fires-normal-agriculture-despite-internatio/
Property owners purposely setting a fire to clear the brush off of their property that was deforested years ago has absolutely nothing to do with climate change.
@Randy4me – Shhh! Please don’t let facts get in the way of a good woke-liberal outrage.
All of that for some oil, gold and money i would never trade nature for money
@Combo wth im just a kid and im not poor but i dont show off my money so i guess you support deforesting and i think you do not know that the brazilian amazon forest that supply us 20% oxygen and the earth’s atmosphere oxygen is 22% – 21% so you should think about the world your living in money is needed but not for that destruction
@Philippine Ball i hate deforestation too. With all these new citizens in Canada out forest is in danger to accommodate easterners that don’t give a crap about our land. One day you’ll understand the world. Until then please just educate yourself.
@regular donkey well my country is currently cleaning our river so yeah thanks for sharing your thoughts
You’re a pathetic looser.
Money is the most important thing ever.
This is sad and we won’t have a planet to live on cuz man is the monster that wrecks havoc.
This is basically are the world leaders
*Let me live good and rich and let the NEXT generetion suffer becaus i am then already dead*
not the world leaders its the fucking jews that enslaved us
@Combo Does it matter? The mentality is the same.
Bob Marvel, I’ll consider your point when you change your stupid fortnite picture
@Combo its the world leaders. Don’t blasphemy Jews.
“The next generation will have a darker future”
It’s terrifying and sad at the same time
I’m sad cause I’m suppose to be that next generation
Oh so nowwww you guys want to cover the fire in the Amazon Rain Forest. Glad that you guys finally came to your senses a few days/weeks later
BOYCOTT BRAZILIAN BEEF AND SOY. That way they won’t be EXPANDING production.
In what mental state do you have to be to think that starting a wildfire for agriculture is okay? JUST CUT THE TREES DONT BURN THEM
Fake news. These are agricultural fires and they do it every year.
