Everything you’d heard about the Amazon is wrong

Bryan Fischer here with today’s Life and Liberty Minute. Everything you’ve heard about the fires in the Amazon is wrong. The jungle is not on fire. The fires are from farmers who are burning their fields to prepare them for the next growing season. The land they are burning has already been cleared. Second, according to NASA, the number of fires is about normal for this time of year. Third, the Amazon forests are not the lungs of the earth - the Amazon absorbs all the oxygen it produces. Fourth, because CO2 is not a pollutant but plant food, more and more of the earth’s surface is greening up. There are more trees and vegetation now than there were 30 years ago. And last, the Amazon fires are not Donald Trump’s fault, even though enviro-extremists want you to think they are. Don’t let the Talking Snake Media lie to you. They are playing the uneducated American public for chumps. Don’t be a chump.
