>If you were implying that there was some sort of "chopping down all their trees", that wasn't it. no, I was referring to the rats destroying the trees (the deforestation timeline matches the first evidence of rat damage), you have a stable eco system but you introduce an exponential variable that is destroying that system, then inevitably you'll degrade or destroy it. Later cutting down the trees probably didn't help either. The point was we are creating an exponential pollutants through industrialisation, and then adding pressure by removing tropical trees and feeding niggers. We know the environment was liveable before we did all those, so if it looks like it is being degraded then the obvious first step is to reverse some of the obviously more damaging aspects of those changes
