For marxist economics would have taken steps and even it can do it in future too,turning city into agricultural or food production
Thanks for great news and great ideas!
Reduce human population from 8 billion to 3 billion. Change life style and stop uncontrolled capitalism.
To STOP ! Naaaah man, im trying to build some picnic tables, benches, chairs, fences, swing sets, sheds, decks, trusses for roofing etc. The question is where can I go to START deforestation.
Didn't watch the video but for starters: yes, stop buying soy beans and palm oil
Wait that means other countries have to cut down more trees to feed Costa Rica if Costa Rica depends more on food import. I don't think this is a win win this is zero sum.

Yea to Costa Rica.
Money is the problem.
ONLY 1 tree should be removed from ground every 33 feet! Stumps should not be left behind as this space is needed for new saplings! The thickest and tallest trees should NOT be cut down so the healthiest seeds can hit the ground and grow!
We should subsidize people NOT to have children (and shut down the catholic church).
That is the root cause of all this polution and climate change.
this is where all the billionairs need to help- but up these old growth forests and protect them!
90 % carbon emition coming from developed country.
The best is, relocating industries from developed country to developing country. And reforest again all lefted land in developed country.
Equal economic, equal nature responsibility.
Dont make developed country enjoy their welthy from their deforestation for industrialitation while developing country should take care nature and holding their industrialitation just to safe nature who destruced by developed country
I don't see the big deal, just plant more trees😒
here I'm going to leave my comment on another video where they blamed us Brazilians as causing climate disgrace among other things, and also remembering that the richest countries are the ones that pollute the most and besides Germany and Norway that has an "Initiative with a background" Nobody Brazil pays more to maintain the Amazon but everyone says they need it ironic, right?
Very well explained and illustrated!
We have replanted billions of trees . In the United States we have replanted so many that we actually have more tree todays than at the turn of the last century (1900) . The climate alarmists are pushing false science they cheery picket . As if you go back to Egypts time the planet is cooler by 3 degrees. So these chickens little alarmists should be ashamed of themselves. They haven’t got one climate model right in over 60 years. These are facts.
satellite photos show massive greening of the earth due to higher CO2 levels. Semiarid areas now support plant growth where before low rainfall levels were insufficient.
Use money to buy more land to plant more trees,not to buy car 7:29
21 % it looks familiar,does it has to anything with India I think
Place a tree tax on oil to fund reforesting. Oil companies must be forced to buy rain forests land reclamation.
Classic example of CRUEL, IGNORANT, and IMPACIENT people destroying something beautiful. Then, they wonder what is causing all of chaotic weather patterns, STORMS,FLOODS, and FIRES. While at the same time, the ARGUMENTS for land DEVELOPMENT and also be understood, but this was done without any real prior CONSULTATION with tribal LEADERS. LEADERS who could have found strategies for a wining COMPROMISE. So then we moved from a smaller FAILIURS to much bigger CATASTROPHES. The IGNORANCE never stops. Tree give life, we must protect our planets rainforest and jungles.
Atractive women with high intelectuality is essentinal to motiveate to go no with conservation, and the economist makes atractive videos with atractive women, they are the fuel to capture interest on this subjects.
So much garbage! Boy have I learned a lot and outgrown this nonsense. I feel sorry for people who are new to this sort of thing and believe it.
Why don't you also explain about the foreign mining companies operating in the forest, some of which are English, Canadian, and Norwegian, and also from other countries, mostly European, many of them illegally?
Thank you. This helps me feel happy
This video has the United Nations Climate Change disclaimer. Global warming was officially stated at 1.1°C in 1991 and 1.06°C in 2022. There is no mechanism that would allow greenhouse gas behavior to cause global warming.
The back of the United Nation's IPCC science report states it took its greenhouse gas samples at 20,000 meters altitude where it is common high school level knowledge there is no greenhouse radiant energy. This is typical practice for deceptive marketing to state legal data transparency protecting the perpetrators from fraud prosecution. The IPCC has been transparent with its data acknowledging it is not dealing with active greenhouse gases.
Earth's greenhouse effect is frequently used as a primary example to high school students of a system always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor absorbing all the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth with greenhouse gases within 20 meters of the surface that is all around us everyday and can't have its overall effect changed. There is no further greenhouse radiant energy to interact with greenhouse gases. At 1% average tropospheric water vapor over 99% of earth’s greenhouse effect is from water vapor. Water vapor would hold earth's greenhouse effect in saturation if it were the only greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
Arctic warming is taking place with the proving mechanism being warm Atlantic Ocean waters migrating deeper and more frequently into the Arctic Ocean warming it and the region. That warmer water is causing a few weeks less of reflective snow and ice coverage resulting in more solar heat gain to the Arctic region surface.
Atmospheric CO2 levels of 1200 ppm about three times what they are today would greatly invigorate C3 plants the majority of plant life on earth greatly greening the planet.
0.4% of the atmosphere is CO2 and on average 1% is H20 water vapor. (1% H20)/(0.4% CO2) = 25. Water vapor is 25 times more present in the atmosphere on average than CO2. Water vapor has an CO2e of 18, 18 X 25 = 450 CO2e total for water vapor to 1 CO2e for CO2.
The Earth’s oceans have 3-1/2 million sea floor volcanic vents warming the water and changing it’s chemistry that have not been systematically accounted for.
The profit system is called capitalism. The number of people trying to end capitalism is growing worldwide, but it must happen in USA most of all! And it is happening!
