The amazon is being burned

A bird's eye view on the situation in the amazon rainforest.

Uhhhhgg......not good.  I love the nationalist vs. international perspective he gave and the issues that come from it.  "What right do we Americans have of telling Brazil what to do when we cut down our forests?"  I'm not saying I think something shouldn't be done, but he brings up a good point.  

Also, I never thought that Brazil doesn't get paid for trying to save the rainforest.  It seems to me like since it's such a global issue that affects everyone and everything, than the global community should be investing in helping Brazil and giving it incentives to stop destroying the rainforest.  I don't know if that's already happening and to what degrees, or if it's been tried but Brazil and other organizations inhibit this process.  But I think that countries should be incentivizing Brazil to work towards protecting the rainforest.

Does anyone have any idea how much the international community is trying to help save the Amazon (governments, orgs, etc.)?

This is a good example of collective consciousness. The globe is a giant organism and one of it's lungs is burning up.
