Deforestation - Why capitalism will be the end

[James]

I started talking about this with some right wingers on another board. What do the right wingers think of it? Do you think that the affects are just a big leftist conspiracy? Or do you admit that deforestation is a prime example of western capitalism destroying the world?

I agree, deforestation is an atrocity. Hemp is the answer-it is good for so many things! YOu got your paper, clothes, oh and of course your cheeba. Embrace hemp!

"The clearing of tropical forests across the Earth has been occurring on a large scale basis for many centuries. This process, known as deforestation, involves the cutting down, burning, and damaging of forests. The loss of tropical rain forest is more profound than merely destruction of beautiful areas. If the current rate of deforestation continues, the world's rain forests will vanish within 100 years-causing unknown effects on global climate and eliminating the majority of plant and animal species on the planet..."


Its a very good site.


I'd love a capitalist to voice their opinion on this.
