We need to begin begin imposing tariffs on countries which do not tax carbon or do not adequately protect their environment.<p>Or, more simply, to &#x27;ban&#x27; agricultural exports from countries like Brazil, until land clearance ceases.

We may be the last generations to know the Amazon rainforest or the Great Barrier Reef in anything like their former glory.

Not much more deforestation and the Amazon turns into grasslands because the trees themselves sustain the wet climate they need to grow.

This article is very short and the study it references is behind a paywall. Anyone know what the carbon <i>sources</i> are? I understand that fewer trees means less carbon absorbed, but is carbon being emitted by deforestation activities (like fires) or something else?
