#2We are all full of fears, except those who are blind to the inevitable consequences of their disconsidered acts against nature.

#3Reading this from Eastern Europe the "you" in:
"You destroy our lands"
"that common enemy is you"
"We call on you to stop what you are doing"
"When your money comes into our communities"
etc sound very wrong. I imagine it also sounds weird for people in America who have no connections with what happens in the Amazon.

People are rarely actually blind to the consequences of their actions. Most people know exactly what they're doing, especially if they're not working alone.
If someone is doing something you believe is bad it's because they have prioritised something else (usually, but not always, personal gain).

the only thing that really worries me is humanity going back to pre-modern technology levels, this time with full-on communism added for good measure, all in the name of climate protection.
otherwise i find climate change to be something that prepares us for colonising other places: planets and climates change; 300 million years ago Venus was the place to be, today it's Earth, tomorrow it will be the outer planets, specifically their satellites. we weren't really aware of these changes, especially their magnitudes. climate change brought it all out. it's up to us to learn from it so that we can control it. especially for the moment when we will unshackle ourselves from this solar system.
yes, i am extremely optimistic about the human race.

This is directed at all non-indigenous people. We all do have connections to what is happening in the Amazon. Our way of life is part of the problem.

Eastern Europe is way past the point of consuming ressources that can be renewed. Europe as a whole is also currently signing a trade deal with south american countries, and eastern europe is going to benefit from it.
From an eastern european point of view, it is easy to focus on western europe and see oneself as disadvantaged, but if you count ressources consumed the picture is very different.

Too many people is the real problem.
