Do you know rain comes from rainforests?

[Reallywanttomovenow]

I have heard none stop about brexit for the last few years and nothing but contempt for extrinction rebellion recently, but now the Amazon is burning to the ground and nobody even comments on it!

I am sick to my stomach and thinking about stockpiling for the end of the world, not for brexit.

Does anyone else care? It feels like we are all the stupid people who doesn't believe the scientists in a dooms day movie. Am I the only one? Because it sure feels like it.

The forests will grow back. That's why the locals burn them every so often, to get fresh life. Tend to think the locals know more about managing the rainforest than scaremongerers from other countries.

The problems of the world are shoved down our throats on a daily basis @Reallywanttomovenow a lot of us are simply sick of hearing about them

Ah I hear that, it's like none stop brexit threads in AIBU. Dull as fuck.

It's kind of amusing that these bellends in extinction rebellion have only just noticed that people working in the rainforest periodically clear areas of it and, having observed this, all run around like blue haired chicken littles telling us we're all going to die as a result. We're not.

The world will always carry on OP. It has recovered from worse. The question is will we as humans? I don't think so. We will go and the world will carry on.

Anyone see that programme called 100 years after humans? (Or something like that) It didn't take long for the concrete to be broken up and covered over. Like we were never there.

But rainforests are THE LUNGS OF THE PLANET @tabbymumz and I've got a degree in woke-ass studies from goldsmith's and run my own pop up yoga hair shop so I am in touch with ancient primitive rhythms.

Thanks for the laughs OP

Actually, the OP is slightly correct

The rainforests regulate their own microclimate.

They can actually make the rain happen at times when it’s needed.

@Fuma
As a Siberian shamaness, I can tell you that my Russian taiga forest is bigger. The Amazon is a metro park compared to my planet lungs.

"I've got a degree in woke-ass studies from goldsmith's and run my own pop up yoga hair shop so I am in touch with ancient primitive rhythms."......right...sorry for trying not to laugh but do you know how ridiculous that sounds.

Yes. That's why the PP posted it

My Amazonian locally sourced metro park is fundamentally oppressed by the Russian taiga and all of you capitalist sheeple and quite frankly I'm going to find a safe space for me and my emotional support horse.
