‘You f*ckers are useless’ declares David Attenborough as he arrives in the Amazon in stolen fire engine

David Attenborough has had enough and has taken matters into his own hands.

The presenter of Blue Planet and outspoken environmentalist stole a fire engine in the middle of the night and is heading for the Amazon rainforest to sort out the fires himself.

“I might as well, nobody else is bloody bothering,” declared the legendary documentarian, smashing right through a police barricade designed to stop him.

“I’m aware of the risks, and that a man of my age usually wouldn’t be able to contribute a lot to putting out the fires but, in case you haven’t noticed, I’m David fucking Attenborough.

David Attenborough was last seen emerging from the burning rainforest, carrying an entire family of grateful howler monkeys on his back.

“Not on my watch,” growled the grizzled documentarian before charging back in with a hose to further tackle the blaze.

They get their land cleared at a fractional cost, and the timber industry gets to move in and claim all the dead trees once Mother Nature puts it out.

I wouldn't be one bit surprised if this was all a plan. They couldn't care less, the Brazilian government and corporate heads, whether the Amazon burns to the ground or not. Comparable to the idiot in the White House and his corporate masters. Pull ALL the oil and natural gas out of the ground you can NOW, because once his fat ass is bounced out of Washington, the exploitation of the fossil fuels is going to come to a screeching halt.

ALSO, the investment in the corporate world is going to dry up, just like it did for the eight years of the Obama presidency. They control the faucets to the economy. They were waiting for a repuKKKe to get in to office, to pull off the restricting regulations they didn't like, and now they are raping at an unprecedented pace.

and other outfits that brought large chunks of land and conserved them. Where are all of these tracks of land located at? Over the years, I have read of literally millions and millions of acres of land being put aside ... what happened? Or, was this all a scam?

13. The world is a big place, about 10-15% of land areas are protected to some degree.

Sadly, it's often only until somebody discovers they can make money by damaging or destroying it, or hungry people displaced by political upheaval overrun it.

Private conservation organizations control only a fraction of that.
