the Amazon rain forest came in the late summer of this year on everyone’s lips as the fierce flames swept the giant forest and got their eyes against the cruel truth of the forest and its natural inhabitants.
The devastating fires has since come under scrutiny, partly because the brazilian government, after strong pressure put in the army, but the hardship is far from over for the diverse forest.

In Brazil, continues the felling of the forest, namely, the undaunted, and the current development can, according to researcher Monica de Bolle from the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, D. C., with devastating consequences.
It writes The Guardian.
Thus, she believes that the current rate of rainforest can mean that, in the course of two years can reach an irreversible point, after which there is no turning back.
At the time, you will have removed so much rain forest that the forest can no longer produce enough rainfall to sustain itself, and will thus evolve into a dry savannah, which will trigger millions of tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere.
It will mean a sharp acceleration of global warming and have tremendous significance for the weather in south America.

The bleak outlook arouses not unconditional support among climate scientists, since some believe that there is still going 15 to 20 years before we reach the point, while others believe that the warning is quite in its place with the thought on the policy of the around a government building which president Bolsonaro leads.
Bolsonaro has so far seen through the fingers of the great felling of the forest as he backs up on the peasants, which makes it to get more space to cultivate the earth, while at the same time there is space for mining in the areas covered by the forest. And the felling of the Amazon has really taken off, after he came to power.

According to Monica, the Bolles calculations should the forest disappear four times as fast now, so it must be a 70,000 square kilometers less each year against the estimated 18.000 in the year.
– It seems very unlikely to me – the calculated increase in deforestation is more of an economic calculation than an environmental. But we see an increase in deforestation, it is, I doubt not, says Carlos Nobre, one of Brazil’s leading climate scientists, over for The Guardian.
He estimates that about 17 percent of the Amazon forest has disappeared, and that the critical point is when between 20 and 25 percent are harvested.

What he believes will happen in the course of 15 to 20 years and thus not in the course of two years, as the Bun predicts.
– I hope she is wrong. If she is right, so is it the end of the world, he says.

He has previously made studies together with the american biologist Thomas Lovejoy, who do not believe the Bolles calculations are unrealistic, because the recent events have created a negative interaction, which therefore can lead to irreparable damage.
– We have seen the first signs that we are about to hit the point. It is like a seal trying to balance a ball on its nose. The only sensible thing to do is to restore some forest and get the safety margin back, he says.
He says that it is important not to ignore Monica the Bolles pointer.
– In spite of all the madness, has Bolsonaro managed to get people to talk about Amazon.
