@brexil4133 the point is we don't want your resources, particularly if it means the destruction of the amazon environment and the animals it supports. You will destroy the amazon and be left with nothing, as the soil will be poor and unproductive. The local climate will be changed, rainfall will be reduced and the recovered land will become a desert. To extend the limited time you have when it is productive, you will need to apply huge amounts of fertiliser, doing even more damage. The only ones who will benefit are the rich, who will move on as soon as the land is rendered useless.
At that price, We in the west don't want your resources, we do not want the wood from the amazon trees or any of the crops you p!ant in their place. No doubt you can sell it to the Chinese, they don't seem to care if they destroy the world, provided that China is the last super power.
There is always the risk that nature will fight back. The change in climate you bring about may destroy you or you will free some very unpleasant pandemic from deep in the rain forest.
