May God help us. The world is coming to an end!

I sort of read this moniker as "ridiculous"...

Must have been the comment.

Lol... "world is coming to an end!".

I learnt that the burning Amazon forest can be seen from space

timay:


It's a lie. All this yeye environmentalists from the west like to over exergerate figures when it comes to things like this.

They say ignorance is bliss...

Pass me my schnapps, someone. lol

mansakhalifa:

It's not about ignorance. I understand the angle they are coming from based on the fact Most of the oxygen we use come from Vegetations. But I'm just against the Exergeration of the actual figure without any proper scientific research backing

.

If the billionaires that pledged funds for the restoration of Notre-dames roof, would only donate half of what they pledged to fight this inferno, there would be hope.

As an aside, the wildfire s have been blazing for THREE WEEKS!


I'M beginning to think humanity may be facing mass extinction , sooner than we imagine.

Oxygen is about to be really expensive.


Mark my words.

I tell you man!
Another outraging part is that "no media coverage" on the inferno,and its been burning for about 17 days or so

Damn! I wonder wat caused the inferno

There's more to it. There are secrets buried in the Amazonian jungle that some want to get at. This civilization thinks it's the first.

the fire seems intentional, its hard for fire to burn down a rain forest during rainy season, those trees and vegetation are filled with water and moist.

For the fire to get this big someone or some powerful group fueled it.

A good example of my explanation, ask yourselves with all the bombing, pipeline explosion, gas flaring, in the rain forests of tea Niger delta why haven't they experienced Amas fire like this one

Explorers:


He can't do that, he can only give out little. Just like give out a street in the whole Nigeria.

That place is massive, with many areas unexplored hiding resources.

Explores and Developers want to tap.

Bros na little by little them dey collect na..... before you know the whole place has been sold off

i used to think you were intelligent based on the kind of threads u create on Nairaland.

But for you to give this as a reply against the deforestation of the amazon i am begining to think if i was wrong, all you do is just copy and paste

Generalwoodz:
If Amazon rainforest accounts for 20% of the earth oxygen then how many percent does our very own Sambisa forest accounts for?

seriously i doubt the statistics, i think its exaggerated.

if there's to be any region in the world with its forest producing up to or even more than 20percent i believe its in Africa, if only Amazon in south America produces 20percent, then the other forests and vegetation in the whole of south America produces lets say 10percent which is grossly under estimated, are u telling me that Africa which still has lots of untapped forests than even South America, North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Antarctica are all sharing an oxygen production level of 70percent?

Timay you are speaking the truth

Your opinion, your right bro.

the whites are not as magnificent and omniscience as we think, a whole lot of there prediction and analysis are based merely on speculation

Mark my words.

what are you waiting for? Why not donate yours or start a fund raising program.

the amazon just by its geography looks like a place with huge oil and gas deposits.

that apart who so ever thats burning those forests is still loosing out, cause a whole lots of those trees can be used for timber and lumbering, but they are just wasting it on some wild fire

with the burning of the Amazon, and the disappearance of ice bergs and glaciers, desertification, shrinking and disappearance of lakes, in the near future there has been speculations that very soon countries which experience Snow fall might start seeing it as a thing of the past, as people are beginning to nurse the notion that snow would go extinct in lots of countries

So where is your African environmentalists figure?

Alexk2:
What causes that? Something must have trigged it

maybe Fulani herdsmen..
na the burn burn dey sweet dem pass(in Fela's voice).

Timay you are speaking the truth

Hope you know that almost half of Africa is desert, they are telling you that the Amazon rain forest alone is four times bigger than Nigeria

this fire ain't ordinary eyes

TorukMakto:

1/4 Of Africa not half

Do a post on thick forests

Explorers:


Lol.... We're talking about Forest crossing almost 9 countries.

Amazon is 5,500,000 km2 (2,100,000 sq mi) bigger than Indian in size and about 4 times bigger than Nigeria which is 923,768 km2 (356,669 sq mi),.


Sambisa is just 2,258 km2 (872 sq mi), not up to whole Lagos State in size.

There are bigger Forests in Congo, Russia, United States, Australia, Canada, Finland, e.tc.

Sambisa is not thick, not on the list of 50 world's largest Forests.

mansakhalifa:

Wise counsel.

Thanks man.

MyGeneration:

Africa which still has lots of untapped forests than even South America, North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and ANTARCTICA are all sharing an oxygen production level of 70percent?

The forest of the planet(Green) is pictured, and i believe you will see Africa compared to other continents.

We only have one forest in Africa that can rival Amazon or other Rainforests of the planets, 'Congo Basin' and the Green you can see in the picture on the map.

Mind you, Amazon is still around 3-4 times bigger.

You can also help by stating some untapped forests in Africa that are more than those in South America, North America, Asia, Europe, Australia like you said above.


Antartica is 14,200,000 km2 (5,500,000 sq mi) in size, over 12 times bigger than Nigeria.

98% of Antartica is Ice covered. So Forest is out the question.

Google, Natgeo, Discov are friendlies.

Brazil is a shitty country, they can all go extinct in that crime infested country. The rest of Latin America would be very happy to see them go!

I am scared. Is the world going to an end already?

The world cabals have even tried till this time ....... Very soon, they will start selling oxygen ...... Everybody go dey wear mask of oxygen, fill your room with purchased oxygen.

If you want a good fresh air na to buy because if you breath from the atmosphere, na die ....

Capitalism will surely de-orbit the earth one day!!

Omoluabi16:
Change your news content bro. You should like more international pages on Facebook. Possibly visit the BBC homepage as often as possible.

I watch Aljazeera almost every night, since 3 days ago, i saw nothing like this on their channel.

Don't be bamboozled by alarmist. Know your facts.
1. The oxygenation of the Earth's atmosphere happened long before plants evolve.
2. The Ocean is the Earth's lung.
3. Forest fires even though ugly are sometimes natural and beneficial to forests. (Not every natural disaster is a calamity. E.g A volcanic eruption is very dangerous but that is how land is formed)
4. If the wildfire is threatening human life and settlement, it should be quenched.
5. The Amazon is not under any significant threat. Our Forest in Nigeria are more threaten than the Amazon.
