The Negro River, the Amazon's second largest tributary, on Monday reached its lowest level since official measurements began near Manaus 121 years ago. The record confirms that this part of the world´s largest rainforest is suffering its worst drought, just a little over two years after its most significant flooding.

Hey remember that time when everybody thought there were secret demons and aliens deep within the unreachable parts of the Amazon, then we chopped it all and the only thing we found were more people with worms in their feet?

The demons were a metaphor for ecological collapse. By chopping up the forrest we've condemned humanity to die in hellfire. That is unless (((someone))), takes a stand.

Just grow more trees in China and Pakistan. Problem solved.
The global tree cover is already higher than in the year 2000.

Unironically, the rainforest is important bc of biodiversity and thats the main reason it needs to be protected/conserved. The reason for the drought, the fires, the global warming etc is more largely connected with how bad the ocean is being fricked up in large part due to over (commercial)fishing and shipping. Most carbon filtering is done bybplankton which turn the carbon into oxygen for the ocean. The oceans now have large areas where there isnt enough plankton/oxygen to support life now which is accelarating everything. No one sees whats happening 1000miles out in the ocean so it goes unchecked and the media wags the dog acting like you not recycling is the main problem.

Coral farming is already a thing
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaculture_of_coral
Agreed.
My only issue is that if things were getting really really bad in the oceans then it would be easily noticeable just like with all extinction events with the biggest animals dying out.
Whales and Orcas are still around so its not irreversible and we are all going to suffer levels of bad yet.

coral =/= plankton and doesnt convert carbon to oxygen.
butt theyre all mostly endangered anf pissed off. Also theyre kot as important as keystone species as say sharks

I nootice, in addition to what ive already pointed out, that were in the midst of a mass extinction event https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_extinction

My point was during a full scale mass extinction event the biggest species would disappear first. Similar to how megafauna in multiple continents is all but gone.
Overfishing not climate change. That's a separate policy issue.
I know about this. I am referring to the entire ecosystem collapsed levels of really bad. Like scientists are being given 100 billion dollars in funding to create robot fish to replace the real ones kind of bad to stabilize the ecosystem.
Same for hopium. If it makes you feel any better. The primary group that keeps fricking up climate change is the oil industry which is expected to keep weakening over the coming decades. Meanwhile regreening and renewables keep growing. We just haven't hit the changing hands point yet.

they are disappearing
a big problem is pretebding theyre seperate issurs when they literally are part of the same problem/feed into eachother

I am saying they are separate issues as in they have separate causes. Lots of fishies dying due to overfishing, lots of fishies also dying due to climate change in other fishy groups.
When you conflate the two you give opportunity to the other groups to say aha! this fishy died due to overfishing not climate change so climate change isn't real.
That's why you have to keep your lanes precise.
I can see how they would feed into each other. Agreed on that point.
