You could burn down a house and cnn would call it climate change.

2019-08-26 18:36:55 UTC  

Because it is big forest

2019-08-26 18:37:04 UTC  

That is why they worry

2019-08-26 18:38:13 UTC  

But new trees grow from the ashes of the dead ones.

2019-08-26 18:38:19 UTC  

It’s how forests work.

2019-08-26 18:38:30 UTC  

And this is farmlands.

2019-08-26 18:38:49 UTC  

Ah. So they’re using the amazon land for farmland

2019-08-26 18:38:49 UTC  

I think it's just another jab for the mainstream news to hype up events.

2019-08-26 18:39:01 UTC  

Because owh look it's burning, time to make it worse.

2019-08-26 18:39:14 UTC  

Isn’t Europe and the entire interior of North America also farmland?

2019-08-26 18:39:21 UTC  

There is a fear in some people that Bolsonaro is not doing enough to stop the fires, going by his previous stance on the issue and the corporatism under his government, leading to illegal logging, farming and mining in the Amazon Forests

2019-08-26 18:42:24 UTC  

Since those alone forests contribute a large percentage of global oxygen, it is not in anyone's interest that they get deforested

2019-08-26 18:42:45 UTC  

We need to drop the boomer radical Climate Change Denialist position

The Nationalist Right Wing should reclaim Environmentalism

2019-08-26 19:30:27 UTC  

Left wingers: wtf now we HATE the environment now

2019-08-26 19:40:57 UTC  

not really, tbh

2019-08-26 19:41:48 UTC  

lefties don't usually base their opinions on if they are opposing right-leaning ones

2019-08-26 19:42:02 UTC  

Some of them do

2019-08-26 19:42:10 UTC  

who?

2019-08-26 19:42:43 UTC  

Border control?

2019-08-26 19:42:49 UTC  

Was a right wing position

2019-08-26 19:42:54 UTC  

To have it open

2019-08-26 19:43:12 UTC  

And then Trump changed it to controlled borders

2019-08-26 19:43:22 UTC  

And then a bunch of lefties changed their minds

2019-08-26 19:43:40 UTC  

and when did that happen?

2019-08-26 19:43:55 UTC  

i need citations for that lol

2019-08-26 19:43:57 UTC  

Over the course of the Trump campaign and presidency

2019-08-26 19:44:14 UTC  

Look it up: Koch brothers promoting open borders

2019-08-26 19:44:41 UTC  

And that's because:

2019-08-26 19:44:45 UTC  

Surprise surprise

2019-08-26 19:44:57 UTC  

Trump is largely your classical 80s Democrat

2019-08-26 19:48:57 UTC  

Now, if you're wondering *why* it used to be a right wing thing

2019-08-26 19:49:11 UTC  

That was because illegals were a convenient way to get cheap labor

2019-08-26 19:49:41 UTC  

And it was the Dems at the time calling it inhumane and saying citizens shouldnt lose jobs

2019-08-26 19:50:37 UTC  

It was an economic "Right Wing" position, not cultural/nationalist Right Wing position.

2019-08-26 19:50:55 UTC  

...just not nationalist
