BLAME THE COPERATIONS AND AGRICULTURAL COMPANIES THAT DESTROY FORESTS FOR PROFITS VIA TIMBER AND FOOD. WHY DONT THEY REHYDRATE THE VAST DESERTS ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH GENETICALLY MODIFIED TREES THAT CAN GROW IN THOSE CONDITIONS TO PRODUCE TIMBER AND AT THE SAME TIME BRING LIFE AND WATER BACK TO THE DESERTS. WHEN LIFE COMES BACK AND SOIL GETS BACK TO NORMAL THEN THEY CAN START PLANTING NORMAL CROPS NOT G.M CROPS THOUGH, TO FEED THE WORLD. THIS WAY THE RAIN FORESTS CAN BE LEFT ALONE!!!
