Who would have thought not having an insane clown as president would lead to positive outcomes.

Well if someone burned the fulfillment centers the employees would be forced to keep working, we saw it happen with one already a couple years ago.

This is great news and all, but it doesn't mean that the rainforest is growing back at a sustainable rate... it's still being cut down, just not as fast.

Yeah, but how about down to 0% so we don’t all die?

If I have 100 acres of land and cut down 66 acres last year, this year my maximum output is 50% of last year's output but 100% is still going to be gone.
