I agree, overpopulation and the resulting pollution and destruction of the habitat of the non-human species is by far the biggest problem. This recent piece in the NY Review of Books is an antidote to Elmat's Brazilian boosterism (which has uncanny echoes of US boosterism from a century or so ago).

"What is the attitude of the Brazilian government toward a possible climatic calamity in the Amazon? On being shown the predictions of some climate models, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva reputedly posed two alternatives. If the rest of the world is so concerned about the future of the Amazon, then let the rich countries pay us not to cut it down. Otherwise, if the forest is going to succumb to drought and fire, then we ought to cut it down first so that we can benefit from the resources before they are lost to the ravages of nature."
