The Amazon isn't gonna be around very long...

Eh, one should never linearly extrapolate these things. There will always be a force pushing back.

Bolsonaro aggressively accelerated the destruction of the Amazon- probable Lula will be less aggressive in that respect?

Yeah, it’s scary to think about. The deforestation rates in the Amazon are really alarming — hopefully more global efforts kick in soon.

Some of the folk here on SNs are climate change deniers and think its all good to rape the planet till its a burned out shell.

The consequences of climate change are already measurable and in many cases devastating but they just do not want to know or acknowledge it.

lolz yeah. The deforestation there is like 0.something % a year... We shall see, but could be a skeptic

When I was a kid in public school the teacher told us it would be gone in 10 years. That was 30 years ago now.

Now, I have no clue. I don't live there but I know at this point in my life I am unmoved by these alarmist predictions. It doesn't even matter which side of any subject it is. The hair on fire approach burns people on this stuff.
