Amazon deforestation up 108% in just one year.

With what's happening in the Arctic this summer McPherson could've been too optimistic, although he's now adjusted to just one year left for most humans. I feel like we have at least six years left just a gut feeling combined with extensive knowledge.
I thought that a lot of the Amazon basin is seasonally flooded so not much use to fell trees to create cattle space? But then again, for hard wood furniture.
Gold mining.
Another story of interest was that a California condor chick hatched in Utah and looks as if it may survive. When they put California condors in a captive breeding program, there were only about 30 of them left. Today there are about 500 of these magnificent birds soaring over the American West. I saw a couple of condors while I was in prep school in the 1950s. They were a most impressive and memorable sight. I also had a curious experience about 30 years ago. I was testing guns west of Palmdale, California, when an enormous bird sailed overhead. I knew it couldn't be a California condor, as they were all in captivity at this time. It seemed too large to be a golden eagle, so I was baffled. It turns out it was an Andean condor. A few had been released in parts of California to see how they would fare. I guess the experiment turned out favorably since many California condors have been released since then.
we keep knocking down their homes. what did we expect would happen?Bird populations in US and Canada down 3bn in 50 years

Only a real idiot would think cats are to blame.
