1. Shanan Peters, a geologist at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, imagined what would happen if we burned every forest, blade of grass, bacteria and bird on Earth -- basically everything except humans -- in a presentation slide at a scientific convention in June.



""After such a catastrophic scenario, the concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere dropped from 20.9 percent to 20.4 percent, acording to The Atlantic.""



"Virtually no change," Peters said. "Generations of humans would live out their lives, breathing the air around them, probably struggling to find food, but not worried about their next breath."

Although the fires pose a danger to the massively biodiverse area, some experts are now offering another view, saying they do not threaten the planet's oxygen supply.





2. According to Scott Denning, professor of atmospheric science at Colorado State University, most of the oxygen that gets produced by photosynthesis each year is consumed by fires and living organisms, with trees shedding dead leaves and twigs that in turn end up feeding insects and microbes.



""Forest plants produce lots of oxygen, and forest microbes consume a lot of oxygen. As a result, net production of oxygen by forests — and indeed, all land plants — is very close to zero,"" Denning explained on Tuesday in a Scientific American essay





cc People are so easily duped ... I suspect in areas where they WANT to be duped

Quote from: "BALLSONARO"One thing they keep saying, it would be hard to destroy the Amazon. And if left alone, it will be close to original state in 50 years. You can cut, but there's always more forest ahead. And the thing is, forests grow back. With the help of man, it could be even faster.



And the place is so wet, fires don't burn. The forest is so dense and think, only the low bushes and grasses burn.



And then there's the heavy downpours almost year round.



There's so much misinformation and bullshit coming from the media, it's beyond disgusting.



Leftism and everything associated with it is a fucking cancer that grows on lies, deceit and scumbaggery.

We are lead to believe the Amazon is on life support.

That's what happening today, the media doesn't care, they want viewers and they have their agenda



If you start talking about punishing them for shit like this, they accuse you of censorship



Just like this garbage, look:

They don't even care, screw the sources, screw checking them, just run the damn thing and if it doesn't hold water, make a little retraction and prepare the next lie



And one thing I tell, this is getting tiresome. In Brazil, Globo Network, the biggest national media conglomerate over here, their news reporters are constantly being assaulted on the streets, people cursing on them.



People are getting sick of it all, they are starting to see over the bullshit and lies. They see one thing on the TV and then they see someone presenting them real data on the Internet. They create something an when you check older sources, none of it is true, just like the wildfire charts I posted.



Damn, I remember it myself, 2002, they lost more that year than ever but because that scumbag Lula was in charge, people said nothing.
