      Hopefully Brazil can start making some smart decisions now before it gets worse.

      Climate change is going to turn the rain forest into grasslands as the rain band shifts north. Sahara gets wetter and Mexico gets wetter.

      The Amazon is the greatest river.  At it’s mouth it is 1,000 feet deep.  It starts from the highest elevation of any major river, 17,000 feet as I checked online just now.

      When headwaters are coming from high like that it adds a lot of push to the water and is completely different from a lazy slow River like the Mississippi or the Rio Grande.

      SS: Related to climate collapse as unprecedented drought has caused the Negro River in Brazil, one of the major tributaries of the Amazon, to dry up to its lowest level in over a century. Last year a record low was set at the end of October, and the river is only expected to dry up further until the end of the month. This river collapse is severely impacting the livelihoods of people who use the river for trade and as a water source. Expect the Amazon and its tributaries to collapse even more as climate change accelerates.

      I said this years ago, Climate Change is going to cause Global Migration and Billions will be displaced and die. There will be major conflicts at countries borders and turn to war zones

      It’s almost like cutting down half the trees and replacing them with cattle farming was a bad idea.

      Sounds like a good time to burn down the rest of the rainforest.

      Damn! When I read “major tributary” I worried that it might be the Rio Negro. I’ve been to Manaus and seen the meeting of the Rio Negro and the Amazon. Truly amazing! I’m saddened to see damage like this done. 🙁
