Do it literally.
If some Brazilian president threatens the environment and destroy carbon-absorbing trees to dangerous levels for the whole world to dangerous levels, the United States would have to invade and deter him.
Invade what, the Amazon?
Even if the entire Amazon basin disappeared, there would be no danger.

They would have to because you would tell them to do it or�
Invade what, the Amazon?
Invade whatever country is destroying the Amazon.

What would be the danger?
Losing the value of undiscovered medicinals?
There would be no carbon or oxygen dangers.
Yeah donât tell that idea to anyone in Washington @OysterOmelet
Iâm picturing OO going down there as a mercenary and mowing down loggers.
Probably theyâll flatten it with daisy cutters and agent orange.
There would be [following complete destruction of the amazon basin] no carbon or oxygen dangers.

We have to burn down the rainforest to save the rainforest.
Yes, thatâs the only way to flush them out.

Yes after being savagely cleared for soy production and the cattle industry.
Maybe, as Lula emphasized in his acceptance speech, itâs time for this destruction to stop.

So if it disappeared today, taking all that carbon with it, it would actually be beneficial.
And who the hell are we to live a life of luxury stemming from environmental destruction when people in the basin are just trying to improve their lives and we demand they stay in poverty?
