“rainforests are on the brink of being wiped out”
So is he arguing against deforestation? That would be fine. Most of us agree that trees are being cut down, no one is in denial of that. But his photos don’t show less tree cover in one than the other. The difference in the photos is the gas clouds. Is he trying to say they’re smoke from burning the rainforest? Or pockets of greenhouse gasses? If they’re greenhouse gasses, then they would’ve come from industrialization, not from the rain forest. Why would those gasses migrate from, say a factory in India, to the rainforest of South America? They wouldn’t. Those are clouds.
The “Amazon rainforest is the lungs of the world” idea has already been debunked. We get more oxygen from the photosynthesis of sea plants. The earth’s surface is 70% water, and there are many plants on and in the water. If I were this guy, I’d be more concerned with ocean pollution, such as all the plastic in the ocean, than with whatever he thinks this photographic comparison is showing.
