> An acre and a half of Amazon rainforest disappears every hour, and this is the deforestation you get upset about.

According to this logic, I ought to not get upset, nor criticize any policy, perspective, or activity that causes less deaths than a previous or current one did.

Assuming that for you, trees < animals < humans,

since the European colonization of Americas killed off about 100 million human beings,

I will have to wait for a catastrophe that kills off 101 million people to criticize anything that happens on earth.

Convenient.
