Belo Monte dam

I didn't update my blog for ages. Just seems like there's not enough time, of some reason.

 I've been thinking alot though, and I've been following what's happening in the Amazonas where a monster dam, the so called Belo Monte dam, which is supposed to be the third largest dam in the world, is planned to be built. About 40 000 people needs to be moved and a noteworthy amount of the rainforest will be cut down. If this wasn't enough, the Belo Monte dam is the opening port to about 70 new dams in the area. It'll be a tragedy for the people that live in the region, but in fact, the whole world will be affected since the Amazonas is one of the most important stores of CO2 (except for the oceans) and one of the largest producers of oxygen on earth. About 20 % of the earths oxygen is produced in Amazonas (read more here and here). These people, read the Brazilian government, is shooting Earth right in the lungs, and I'm SURE that Earth will fight back...
