In 1986 the Amazon forest would disappear in 20 years. The bloody jungle is still there!! Man I heard os many crap. They say it’s being cut at a rate of a Belgium (or sometimes a Kansas State) per year. Everytime I fly above it, the damn thing is still there.

Deforestation in the Amazon rainforest fell by 20% between August 2006 and July 2007, according to interim figures released by the Brazilian government.

But Green peace –with an eye ofn the donations of the idiots that support it- is saying. No is still being cut.

Ok, in 2027 I will come back again to tell how the forest is doing.
