  • Hey everyone Welcome back to most amazing top 10 Im your host Che Durena.

  • I mean they tell us every day, the world is dying, climate change is going to kill us,

  • the ice caps are melting and all the polar bears are skinny now.

  • I mean jeez louise can you just let me ignore my problems and continue to consume mindless

  • content like the rest of the world.

  • But no really the world is dying and you should be concerned.

  • You should be in the bean aisle in costco, stalking up on beans.

  • Its protein in a can baby, once the world goes into big time ,Im gonna die mode, and

  • everything descendants into a Mad Max hell, beans are going to be currency.

  • Now today Im going to highlight some of the scarier things that might happen with climate

  • change, and the current fire raging in the amazon with todays list of Top 10 scary things

  • that will happen if the amazon rainforest burns down.

  • 10 Animals gonna die

  • Yeah Im gonna be super blut on this one baby, if we lose the rainforest a bunch of animals

  • are gonna die and you can say goodbye to biodiversity.

  • Theres over 10 percent of the worlds species living in the rainforest, thats a lot bro.

  • Imagine your at a party with 100 people and then 10 of those people just catch on fire

  • because everyone else at the party was too careless.

  • The party would suck after that, its hard to keep a good time going when 10 people burn

  • to death right in front of you.

  • And many of these animals cant just be taken out of the rainforest and then put into a

  • zoo.

  • First of all Zoos are cruel and all of them should be shut down but also these animals

  • need the complex environment of the rainforest to survive.

  • Like you cant just take a person from chicago and then go make them live with a bunch of

  • monks in some mountains.

  • They wont know the language or know any of the local sports teams.

  • It would be traumatizing

  • 9 Medicine

  • Because the amazon has so many different things living inside of it, it has offered us the

  • ability to experiment with some substances that are unique to that area.

  • And some of the stuff we can pull out of this massive jungle could be used to make medicine

  • to cure all sorts of diseases.

  • The key to stopping hangovers could be locked away in the lush green.

  • Imagine you could party all night and then wake up the next day feeling like you got

  • a full 8 hours even though you only slept for 20 minutes on a buddies couch before you

  • had to go to work.

  • Whoever made that discouvery would be hero.

  • Its thought that up to one fourth of the world base source for modern medicines would be

  • lost if we lose the amazon.

  • Like imagine your at a party with 100 people and 25 of them just catch on fire, now this

  • party forsure sucks and someone please call 911.

  • 8 War

  • What is it good for absolutely nothing, but if we dont stop burning down the amazon, people

  • will probably go to war.

  • Thats going to be on the billboard top 100 by the weeks end, no doubt about it.

  • Well if we keep turning a bunch of trees into ash its going to affect the food supply, air

  • quality and as we mentioned before, medicine for a lot of people.

  • And what happens when people run out of food, clean water, clean air and cant get any aspirin.

  • Well theyll probably get pretty cranky and very desperate.

  • And when youve got a bunch of cranky desperate people who havent eaten in a long time, your

  • probably going to have an all out war.

  • Doing this much damage on the environment is going to have a drastic effect on peoples

  • lives.

  • 7 Loss of money

  • I mean if there one way we can try and convince these massive companies to stop tearing down

  • trees is with even more green.

  • The main reason that rainforests are being torn down is because the land is converted

  • for commercial use.

  • These big companies come through with there big ugly trucks and rip out all the beautiful

  • natural foliage so they can repurpose to those areas for rubber trees, palm oil trees and

  • even cattle grasing eras.

  • I would hate to see what there homes look like, they for sure suck at decorating, they

  • probably took out all the natural like and replaced them with neon framed pictures of

  • their own dicks.

  • But what theses companies dont realize is that in the long run they are making way less

  • money.

  • Its thought that in the pharmaceutical industry alone the rainforest is worth 150 billion

  • dollars.

  • The global rubber industry, even including everything outside of the rainforest, is only

  • worth 26 billion dollars and palm oil is 60 billion.

  • The money gained doesnt come close to the amount of money thats being lost.

  • Yall are just being stupid out there man, you gotta think of long term growth.

  • 6 Climate Change

  • Yeah we already talk about this in the intro but its kind of a big deal so Im going to

  • talk about it again.

  • If we burn down the amazon climate change is going to get worse and then the flood will

  • kill us all, or lack of food, or cannibals.

  • Now part of me thinks the government has a carbon gun hidden away in area 51 that can

  • suck all the carbon out of the air and save the planet in like 20 minutes, and that all

  • this climate change stuff is to distract us from the fact that the clintons are powerful

  • enough to kill anyone at anytime.

  • But Im not willing to bet all my chips on that yet just yet.

  • For now Im going to hope that by not burning down the amazon will save us.

  • And it can, amazon is a carbon carbon sink, which means its sucks a bunch of carbon out

  • of the air.

  • The thing is a giant scrub brush for the atmosphere.

  • 40 percent of the worlds carbon is absorbed by forests, thats a lot, imagine your at a

  • party with 100 people and 40 of them are actively working to shrink their carbon footprint.

  • That would be a pretty woke party

  • 5 The displacement of indiegnous people

  • This is probably one of the saddest parts about this whole list, there are people who

  • have made the amazon their home for centuries and if it burns down where are they suppose

  • to go.

  • That is their land and theyve made a life there that isnt so easily changed you dont

  • go from living in a tribe in the amazon hunting with a bow and arrow, to working at walmart

  • and putting money into a tax free savings account.

  • Theres a lot of people who rely on the rainforest to survive, around 31 million people live

  • in or off the amazon.

  • The people who live in these areas need this land to live, they need the areas for food

  • and some of them havent been exposed to outside communities.

  • Because most of us out there are filthy animals we carry, and have been exposed to, way more

  • bacteria than the people who live in these tribes, so when these indiegnous people come

  • in contact with us sometimes they can die just from the exposure to new diseases that

  • they dont have a natural immunity too.

  • Theres not vaccines in the deep dark corners of the rainforest.

  • 4 Major Damage to the Ocean

  • If we actually didnt stop the horrific act of burning down the rainforest like joints

  • at a house party then the cabron levels are going to skyrocket, which we kind of already

  • covered.

  • But this wont just effect the atmosphere, some of that carbon will get absorbed into

  • the ocean which means the ocean will become more acidic.

  • If you dont know what that means dont feel bad, the only reason I know is because I looked

  • it up for this video.

  • Now if the ocean becomes more acidic then most animals cant live in there and were going

  • to a mass extinction of sea life.

  • Some stuff with be able to survive but so many fish are going to die the horrible death

  • of swimming in an ocean which is too acidic.

  • And if a ton of fish just die out of nowhere.

  • Well that will probably lead to famine and every good fish and chips restaurant closing.

  • That means no more sushi, no more oyster bars, no more red lobster, I mean red lobster could

  • stay open on their cheddar bay biscuits ALONE.

  • Every time I go I eat like 15 of them even though they clog up my colon like concerted

  • in a drain pipe.

  • 3 Erosion

  • So if the amazon all gets destroyed theres now going to be this massive plot of land

  • that used to be held together by vegetation.

  • Now that all the vegetation is gone all that land is loose like your stool after taco bell,

  • and what does loose stool do?

  • It flows, oh baby it flows so fast.

  • And Thats what all this loose taco bell poop land is going to do.

  • This will cause mudslides and a whole bunch of other natural disasters.

  • On top of that, the rainforest is what fertilizes the soil, so all this flowing earth will be

  • unfertilized and then smash into farmlands making that soil unusable.

  • Basically another situation that leads to a massive famine where we have to become cannibals

  • and eat our friends.

  • 2 Evapotranspiration

  • A big word for my little brain, what the hell is evapotranspiration you may ask!

  • Well its when plants give off vapor from their leaves in the process of photosynthesis.

  • This goes up into the atmosphere and makes clouds and then comes back down as rain and

  • the whole cycle continues its the Clip 3

  • But you may think that this is not a big deal, how much water vapor comes off of plants and

  • gets turned into clouds?

  • Well a lot!

  • An acre of corn produces 4000 gallons of water vapor a day and somewhere between 10-15 percent

  • of the water vapor in the atmosphere comes from plants.

  • AND this will stretch super far, the decrease in rainfall will stretch as far as the sierra

  • nevada with areas between the amazon and there seeing a possible 50 percent decline in rain.

  • Areas like california have already seen the effects of deforestation of the rainforest

  • in the form of drought which has lead to massive fires.

  • So not only will we all have to be cannibals but everything will be on fire.

  • 1 It wont come back

  • This isnt something you can just fix by planting seeds, the whole thing would be gone for good.

  • The amazon rainforest is a delicate ecosystem that was formed 56 million years ago when

  • the world was hot enough to create rain forests.

  • So the conditions that it takes to recreate that beautiful ecosystem are gone.

  • And we already covered how the soil would be crap, the rain would be gone and all the

  • plants and animals that make a rainforest a rainforest, would be dead.

  • So we got one shot at saving this thing guys, lets try to

  • no screw it up.
