I wonder what would happen if this was a paul graham shitpost. :)
Also so sad to see this happening, we are all responsible, it's not Brazil's responsibility, it's World's responsibility to take care of nature.

#3It took me a few good seconds to realize that the title is not about Amazon burning cash or something, shows how entrenched in our lives Amazon (the company) is.

What do you propose? UN action to invade Brazil? Germany and Norway have already frozen aid they pay to Brazil

#5The sad part of reading news like this is the feeling of paralysis and helplessness of watching it all unfold.
There are no actionable calls to action or advice laid out in articles like these.
Awareness is good though. Perhaps it inspires people to work directly on solving nature's greatest problems. A friend of mine made a GitHub curated list about tech companies working in this space.

Eh, no. The part of the Amazon that is in Brazil belongs to Brazil.

This is how it has been functioning til now. Of course. But one should have 1% critical/analytical brain to understand that this is not how it should be going.
If you don't consider yourself subject subject to change you are doomed to disappear.

Even as a Brazilian I have to agree with the comments stating that it's our responsibility to take care of our part of the Amazon.
Unfortunately, people chose to elect an awful president and there's nothing we can do about it other than protest.
Bolsonaro is the worst leader this country has ever had since the military dictatorship.

If you burn down your house and the fire spills over to my house, it stops being just your problem.

You know how US gathers forces to go fight in iraq etc?
Imagine if they did the same thing to help nature. I am not even talking about sending their people, just the mobilisation of politics to act on important subjects.
Til we forget the "my lawn, your shit" way of thinking shit will be going south
