I was looking through some old vacation pictures and came across this one. It sure gives a perspective on how big these trees are.

    My claim is that humanity made the Amazon rainforest what it is today. I stand by that, and my claim grows stronger with each new ancient city discovered under the trees.

      Yeah, I disagree. We didn’t play an active part in doing this, we played a passive one by not fucking it up. I’m also not responsible for a mountain just because I don’t dig it up.

      Even if you were right, your own study says that we’d at most be responsible for 1/5th.
