Brazilians clearly want it gone though, or they'd have mounted a stronger defense around it. There's no way around that, it's been demonstrated time and time again they just can't possibly care less about their rainforest.
I wonder how its disappearance is going to impact neighboring countries though, water patterns are going to be heavily disrupted and plenty turmoil is guaranteed to come from that.

This is the biggest natural landscape conserved in the world, the country (and its population) could have profit trillions from it but it is still there, working on behalf the whole world, and nobody (besides Brazilians) paid for it.

Paving the Amazon rainforest would almost certainty disrupt many things outside Brazil's borders. I think it's tantamount to discussions about putting carbon, cfc, and pollution into our atmosphere.
- otrahuevada 5y agoFor about as long as they have the abiity to carpet bomb anyone who tries to take it, yes, it is very much theirs. The portions of it that remain outside their borders will be affected, sure, and this is almost surely going to cause a whole lot of geopolitical issues in the next several decades.
