One more year?

Amazonia is in the second year of a serious drought, and if it continues just one more year, then the entire region will probably crash and very quickly turn into a savanna and a desert. This drought is caused by people burning fossil fuels, and the clearing of the surface for grazing purposes, ...overpopulation... and global warming in the Atlantic ocean [in general]. The Amazon Jungle river basin is home to most of the worlds flaura and fauna, and provides us with oxygen and regulates weather patterns worldwide. Once this jewel is crushed, the rest of the planet may succumb and then almost all of us will die. (the UK paper The Independent, July 24, 2006)

If alot of rain does not fall in Amazonia in December and May, then the regions ecosystem will collapse. Most of the United States will turn into a bone-dry desert by 2010, society will collapse and most will starve. There is nothing that we can do,... there will be no future.

Even if the rain comes, there may soon be another civilization-threatening drought.

One of my long-term dreams was to visit the jungle, so im glad i made it there two years ago-
