Like Tazmania

And I don't mean black people

Nope! Not everywhere. There comes a point where the trees are so large that if they burn down the water that goes to the atmosphere Will be impossible to put down into the ground again

Turning the area into a Savannah instead

The water that eas in the soil Will go to the atmosphere, But wont be able to be brought back into the soil as the main contributors to tjat, the large trees, are now gone.

How can a fire change the climate of an area?

This is not the case for european or many north african forests however.

It will still rain there

You can't turn a rainforest into a desert

Even if you take out the forest part

It will just be rain

Okay. Tou have many big trees. Those trees take rain and water from the atmosphere and it goes into the soil. @Deleted User

Now those things that put that in the soil are now gone

Hiw is the water gonna get to the soil?

Rain?

Only gets to the tops before they turn into gas again

This is how desertirication works and how Savannah are created

Are you saying the rain will evaporate before it hits the ground?

The water will just fall back down onto the soil

pretty sure savannahs are created by changes in rainfall bro

Yeah

the tropics get pounded with heavily rain daily most of the year

You can't change the climate

Not with a fire, anyway

quite unlike most deserts i've seen

Even a really big one

Just listen to the scientists instead

@MountainMan Yeah, big trees are bad when burned.

Point is, they should not have ever reached that size

How do you know they're not bankrolled by big corps or something

How can you trust anyone at this point tbh

Hey I'm not saying they're wrong, just asking

”With fewer trees left there is less water in the air to be returned to the soil.”. @Deleted User

> What do we do if the Amazon is gone?

Well considering the *global greening* trend across the planet with new plant and tree life, it's a wonder but I think we'll survive

@Fitzydog Too bad. We need them at that size.

20% of our oxygen is created from the amazon forest

So we need to kill 20% of the world's population

How about China

I’d be fine with killing china eitherway
