Warning! There is immediate danger - set aside lots of money now for climate research

[marke]

Huge fundraising campaigns run by those involved in the global warming business have never been more pronounced than they are today. With more and more modern speculators getting into the global warming business with hopes of reaping huge financial rewards the stakes are higher now that they have ever been in history.

Here is just one sales pitch of thousands:

"The effects of forest destruction in the Amazon don't stay in the Amazon. They affect us all."

Alarm! Fires are destroying the rain forest. What can we do? Send hundreds of thousand fire brigades there to put a stop to it? How about calling in a rain dancing spiritualist? How many fires are we talking about?

""The Amazon rainforest spreads across nine countries and is the largest rainforest in the world, about half the size of the US. It has been burning at a record rate, according to Brazil's National Institute for Space Research, with more than 74,000 fires in Brazil alone this year, nearly double the total for 2018."

I don't think giving these fundraisers more money to go on all-expense-paid monthly jaunts to Brazil on fossil fuel burning jets is going to put a stop to the burning. Besides, once they stop the burning in Brazil they will have to plug all the thousands of active volcanoes in the world and get rid of all farting cows just to keep up with the flaming leftist global warming rhetoric that is spreading like wildfire in our modern deluded world.

How are the raging fires in the Amazon rainforest affecting climate change?

Just let **** happen.

If trying to protect the environment was a good way to make a profit some ****ty capitalist like the Koch Brothers would have already done that. There are a lot of easier ways to make money than this. If you want to know who is lying to you look to the people trying to protect their fortunes from necessary change.

I require funding myself for climate research. I'm trying to change just a small part of the earth's climate for the better. Just adding AC to the shop and the stable would be great. The stable has 30 stalls, so that might be a little daunting, but we're all about challenges, right? I'm fighting AGW every way I can. Why, I just put out the tire fire in the back field. Them truck tires burn for, like, ever. I'm committed, and funding would be appreciated. Honest.

Nah just do like you cons always do and send thoughts and prayers. That always fixes any problem and makes you feel like you did something.

You're right. Save your money and just give it to your church, which has never been known to have people reaping financial rewards from anyone.

What, exactly, are you doing to prevent/fight fires in Brazil? Perhaps "just let it happen" describes your actions unless you count demanding that someone else do something counts as taking action.

We're doomed, so let's do nothing. So typical. Everything the right doesn't like we should just ignore.

You have surpassed yourself with the utter ignorance displayed in this post.

I ain't doin nuthin without funding first.

 

[Craig234]

I used to wonder how Snake Oil salesman could find suckers, until I saw Republicans and climate science, believing the fossil fuel companies over the scientists. That's even worse than falling for snake oil.

How about the Brazilian government under their new leader do something? Instead he has swept away all legislation aimed at protecting this precious resource, and allowed uncontrolled slash and burn and illegal logging to flourish.
This a global, not simply a national issue. The rainforest not only acts as a CO2 sink, but provides you with oxygen to breathe.

Why are rainforests important?

....where there's a possibility it might be funding your minister's fancy new clothes or lear jet.

NO, never! God granted him those earthly heavenly luxuries as a reward for being so thankful.

The approach toward the Amazon rainforest by Bolsonaro is the same short sighted nonsense you get from people who don't think about anything other than the bottom line. He's stripping protections for indigenous peoples as well so basically large swaths of the rainforest can be cleared so others can profit. To not realize the importance of the rainforest from an ecological perspective is pretty dumb.

Yep, just as I suspected - making demands of others is "the plan of action".

If everyone benefits as a result what's the problem? Seeing as there aren't any rain forests in England who else should I make demands of?

 

[ElChupacabra]

Weird how a deity can't just give these religious leaders things directly, right? It always seems someone had to get fleeced for this reward to be "given".

Hmm... would it be equally valid for someone in Brazil to demand that the UK cease to have city traffic (seeing as there is none in the rainforest)?

 

[bearpoker]

I actually don't know how these fires started and what to do to prevent them. Someone should find out and and take action to prevent future fires. It's not a bad thing to say that this should be investigated and acted upon.

OK, but that is no less important for any forest fire. The environmental "outrage" seems to be far less when the fires (or removal of trees for development by other means) are in one's own country, state or city.

How does city traffic in England affect Brazil? The Brazilian rain forest benefits the entire planet; city traffic benefits nobody.

Deforestation and Its Extreme Effect on Global Warming - Scientific American
According to the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), a leading green group, 32 million acres of tropical rainforest were cut down each year between 2000 and 2009—and the pace of deforestation is only increasing. “Unless we change the present system that rewards forest destruction, forest clearing will put another 200 billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere in coming decades…,” says EDF.

“Any realistic plan to reduce global warming pollution sufficiently—and in time—to avoid dangerous consequences must rely in part on preserving tropical forests,” reports EDF. But it’s hard to convince the poor residents of the Amazon basin and other tropical regions of the world to stop cutting down trees when the forests are still worth more dead than alive. “Conservation costs money, while profits from timber, charcoal, pasture and cropland drive people to cut down forests,” adds EDF. Exacerbating global warming isn’t the only negative impact of tropical deforestation. It also wipes out biodiversity: More than half of the world’s plant and animal species live in tropical rainforests.

Of course if you don't think global warming is a problem, then this is none of your concern. Oddly, most people thing is a problem.

The problem (as stated in your link) is economic incentive to treat the rain forests as "world park" sites does not exist at the lowest level. Telling extremely poor folks that they should, out of respect for global environmentalism, remain so is not working. The environmentalists are therefore concentrating their efforts on providing those economic incentives by demanding that (the richest in?) rich countries provide welfare benefits (for life?) to the poor who happen to live near areas that they wish to preserve as "world parks".

The catch is that that these poor folks often get nothing since the 'international environmental aid funds' get pocketed by (corrupt?) government officials in the "world park" targeted areas who also get paid (bribed?) by the timber and agricultural interests who, in turn, further exploit the poor in those areas.
