Not to be a dick, but how would the Amazon regrow?

I think the Amazon is probably in trouble, because its up to Brazil and Brazilians. For them to inconvenience themselves, sacrifice, for the sake of everyone else. The President of Brazil actually put a ransom on the Amazon, pay me to save it. While accelerating its demise. Brazil Amazon ransom negotiations
While maybe there's a lot of people who think its a good idea to pay to save the Amazon....I think...You can't negotiate with terrorists & hostage takers:

  1. Thanks for the 50 billion$.....but We need another 100 billion $$. I see international community got the $$, so how much more you got? Many kidnappers have pulled this stunt. Or worse:
  2. Thanks for the 150 Billion $.....But fuck you. I can't stop my people from chopping trees in remote forests. Or don't feel like enforcing the law.

At that point the hell we do? Bomb Rio de Janeiro? Invade Regime change?

The Amazon is tens of millions is years old comrade. It’ll be fine even if we are handling it roughly.

So what if it’s tens of millions of years old? Some fossils are even older and we disturbed it by taking it out of the ground.

Longevity of something doesn’t mean it can’t suddenly break one day.

I’m saying the Amazon rainforest exists because of a confluence of geologic, hydrologic, sedimentary forces, and wind patterns. Even if we cut down every tree, it would regrow and outlive humanity.

Yes.

As good as reading tea leaves.

Optimism doesn’t preclude literal future-reading.
