Time for military action against Brazil to save the Amazon rain forest ?

I say the world asks them nicely but then if the destruction is not halted we start taking out the bridges on the roads the logging trucks use to get into the pristine areas. Be nice and send a warning the missiles are coming so clear people out of the area.







"Deforestation is the second leading cause of global warming and produces about 24% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Scientist say that deforestation in tropical rainforests adds more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere than the sum total of all the cars and trucks on the world's roads."

I think protecting biodiversity is more important then the CO2 thing. We are on this sphere in deep space. Its all we got.

 

Why not just bulldoze your house and plant some trees instead?

 

I was just saying to myself, "you know who is going to like this thread? VG."

 

I always thought the idea of rooftop gardens was cool.

 

The Sun is the leading cause of Global Warming, Water Vapour would be second

 

Climate change seems to be the big thing right now so if the forest can be saved with its momentum then cool.

 

You're an idiot, spouting video game fantasies about going to war with Brazil. They are a poor third world country, and Rio is no place to visit unprepared. All the US would have to do is go in there without even asking. There is no fucking way the Brazilian government would attack, because they are not suicidal. However, there is no reason to embarrass them either, and we actually have friendly diplomatic relationships. If necessary, pressure can be applied, but that is up to the two governments to determine, not some idiot in the peanut gallery.

Forget the jungle, the fish are dying, the insects are dying, the birds are dying, the plants are dying, and we are dying along with all the other animals! Saving the rainforest with heroic efforts, will not save your ass. The only thing that will, is learning to share your words and place nice, and learn how to ask questions instead of flying off the handle.

 

Forget 'Team America', the concept of 'World Police' is one that appeals, - sadly however, it's a simple matter of Management,
Who would fund an operation that holds no prospect of financial profit and/or not be of strategic value?

It would be the 'Right' thing to 'police' the Earth and its' environment but when it comes down to it human priority comes first.
How does one feed a village that because of medical advancements has longer lifespan, with it's residents educated to a level where a higher standard of living is desired, without, cutting down trees to build homes, and /or replace with crop/animal faming to feed and improve transport links for to supply to cater for such increased need? - But that is a whole different debate.

To go back to the question, the discipline and might of an armed force may be the only way to deal with this, and other environmental issues - and it was only the 'Delivery method' of how this can be achieved.
Only with a combined, co-operative and unified approach can this be successful - although perhaps a hope that is forlorn (?) - IMO

 

It's very tough to get excited about (((climate change))) while an entire race gets genocided. Priorities.

 

But white people live on the planet...................

 

Look at south America from Google Earth. They have plenty of space to do all that without wrecking the Amazon.

 

So basically you are saying the rainforest is on fire, time to bomb the shit out of it...


Seems legit.

 

Better yet why don't you just go chain yourself to a damn tree over there. That'll make em think twice for sure, or if it don't well the rest of mankind will still have benefited.

 

Nothing says I love the environment like a good old fashioned jungle war.

Also we should nuke the whales.

 

If they don't stop trashing the place just destroy the bridges on the Trans-Amazonian highway. Shut that thing down. The Trans-Amazonian Highway: An Ecological Disaster | Amusing Planet

 

I say we drop the A bomb on Brazil. Killing enough people will teach them that killin' people's wrong.

 

Before anyone in the US condones this I suggest a review current progress backwards. The rollback of mileage standards, refusal to sign on to the Paris accord,gutting mass transit projects. Spend a morning looking at traffic on a freeway from an overpass in Seattle, Dallas, Chicago, New York .....

Seems pretty stupid to me to try and change the transportation system of the entire world instead of getting the same result from simply forcing these countries to stop destroying the most bio diverse places on the planet just to grow soybeans and hamburgers.

I would say it would cost millions of times less to do a few hundred airstrikes on sawmills and bridges then to re make the transportation system of the entire world.
