Scientists have known the rain forests are man-made for years.
Associated Press and other media just hide this fact.
The advanced civilizations from years ago cultivated the land.
All those forests could were planted by previous populations
North and South America could simply replace any deforestation.

If this information got out, it would harm the eco-business.
Saving the rainforests earns big bucks for greedy companies.

Some environmentalists need to come clean to the world.
All claims of "save this" & "save that" are just for profit.
No reason we can't just replant any forests that we use today.
This is obvious - replanting used-up trees *is* recycling.
All environmental hysteria is just created for money-grubbing.

Yeah, because all those environmentalist wacko's toiling away in non-profit org's are really raking it in while powerful timber, mining and development industries somehow muddle through without their voices being heard.

The Amazon rainforest is NOT a man made creation. WTF?

Re: Rainforest. You don't "debunk a myth" with a theory. See also the "Theory of Evolution".

Forests grow easily, but companies can't cut lumber.
Old employees get laid-off because of environmental concerns.
Really important, those Spotted Owl nests and Amazon flowers.

X-boxes and Playstations aren't getting bought by those laid off.
Meanwhile, Greenpeace makes a killing in profits. Link (new window)
And here you are, claiming "non-profit orgs" are poor?
Seems you haven't done any research.

Tastes Like Chicken:
Really?
Only a fool has his eyes closed to the truth of the message.
Like you've done any research on this before attacking.
Like you'd know what "parroting misinformation" is.
Each person you call an "ignorant jackass" laughs at you.
Don't you think you should think twice before spouting off?

MYTH: Local food is always better
FACT: Local food is usually better

MYTH: Big farms are evil
FACT: Some big farms aren't evil

MYTH: Something about CFLs, incandescents and mercury
FACT: Something about CFLs, incandescents and mercury

MYTH: All invasive species are bad
FACT: Most invasive species are bad

MYTH: The rain forest is a natural phenomenon
FACT: Something about "rogue archaeologists"

MYTH: The more trees, the better
FACT: Some trees require lots of water

MYTH: A hybrid car is always the best choice
FACT: A hybrid car is usually the best choice

Hell, so you don't have to read the entire post:

Replace "always" with "usually" to debunk a myth without debunking it.

Big farms are also more likely to be visited by government inspectors, and there is something to be said for the efficiency gained from a large-scale operation.

Actually, I thought medium sized farms > small and large farms, including the metric of efficiency.

Synopsis: "Whenever someone says 'all' are 'always,' there are probably a few exceptions. Also, listen to this real cool speculative myth about a huge tree farm in South America."

The conventional green wisdom on farms is smaller is better. We've been told repeatedly by passionate activists and persuasive literature that smaller, independent farms are preferable to those owned by giant corporations, but is that sentiment always true? Not always. Occasionally big farms are better than the little guy. Freelance journalist Tracie McMillan found that some workers prefer the benefits and consistency of a larger operation. Big farms are also more likely to be visited by government inspectors, and there is something to be said for the efficiency gained from a large-scale operation. We certainly need to support small farms, but we shouldn't dismiss all big farms as evil.

The universal opinion is that smaller farms are great, but a freelance journalist says that occasionally, a big farm is more environmentally sound than a small farm. I guess that settles that. Also, I like how TFA floated the idea of efficiency with nothing to back it up while neglecting to talk about the environmental impact and costs of shipping everything.

Not a chance. You've ruined Christmas.

I'm going to burn all the gifts I bought and cancel the trip I had planned with my wife.
