Yeah, brother... I know nothing about weather studies and stuff, but I can't deny things are changing. My dad is a minor farmer and he says that if the weather keeps on changing on this pace, we'll be able to plant sugar cane in my state, because some areas are getting absolutely dry.
I'm shocked to see the level of destruction in Europe.
Well, I am just as shocked every time I come across an article about how fast the Amazon forest is vanishing in Brazil. Rather sad and angry than shocked actually because I already know about it... Looks like your current president is a pretty big fan of the deforestation :( Any prospects of a more eco friendly head of the country?
I'm not on par of what is going on. We've reached a point where the mainstream media just hates the president, so I don't know who to believe when it comes to information. Hopefully I'll be able to visit the Amazon forest to see on my own what he heck is going on. I think we are fighting the wrong enemy when we go after those to cut down the trees, instead of those to buy the wood--there's a lot of big names involved, that's for sure.
I see. Too many information wars going on everywhere these days... Finding relevant, unbiased sources is harder and harder. I also hope you will get to visit those places to find out what´s going on there. No matter who is responsible for the deforastion though, it should stop asap...
Yeah... I wish they'd sell to people who want to preserve, like Argentina did with Doung Tompkins. He's the (now dead) creator of The North Face, who created acres of protected land in Patagonia.
