What If We Lost The Amazon Rainforest?

How long would it take for the world's largest rainforest to burn down? If we don't do anything to stop it, we'll soon find out. The Amazon rainforest creates 20% of the Earth's oxygen. It's home to 30% of the planet's species, and it holds the secrets to treating some of our most deadly diseases. If we destroy the Amazon rainforest, the consequences would be disastrous, and they'd be felt all around the world. Could we survive without it?

"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it, we go nowhere." — Carl Sagan

What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure — grounded in scientific theory — through time, space and chance, as we ask what if some of the most fundamental aspects of our existence were different.

This is the first “ What if “ which is happening in reality .

Saw this somewhere:
If you think money is more important than oxygen.
Try holding your breath while counting your money.
Please love our planet🌍

I’m sorry but I kinda need oxygen so I would appreciate the air more than a #2 pencil

[mohamedabdi]

When the last tree cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can't eat money.

Here’s my question

Why are people more concerned about money, then they are about their own health and oxygen...

What if we didn’t let the amazon burn down ?

[ZenHyrdra]

A wise man once said :
When oxygen is gone
And the rivers have been dried
People will realise that they cannot eat money

[gabef]

It’s times like these that we need something like the Lorax to appear

Amazon rainforest : i just wanted to help you breathe-
People who burn the rainforest: LETME BREATHE MY MONEY

[BimboCM.]

It is funny how everyone directly knew about the Notre Damme Bruning down, but not the Amazon

[siyamahmed]

This is why Thanos should wipe out half of humanity in real life.

Get Mr Breast and tell him to do a challenege on planting trees in the rainforest

[fps]

I'm calling it this rainforest has the cure for cancer somewhere in there

[lucasmuller]

Make a video titled "What if we manage to stop climate change"

[hexagondynamix]

Humanity is pretty much a human standing on a rock feeling suicidal.

[lemonadetaco]

Make it trending everyone so many people who don't have care on Amazonia can see this!

[Account-cceg]

No joke but, Mr Beast should spend 24 hours planting trees at amazon

[hexagondynamix]

This video cant even be a what if video. And thats in a depressing side of things.

[susah]

What can we do to stop it? Barking on the internet won't help.
