Every time the rainforests are mentioned I remember the stupid predictions they would make in the 90s. If they weren't just fear mongering there wouldn't be any left by now. I was a kid and bought into it. My dad listened to Rush Limbaugh and I heard him to do back of napkin calculations pointing out how absurd they were. He was right.

The bad thing is that because its all political something everyone should care about is not thought about rationally.
