The earths largest oxygen provider is the sea isn’t it ? 

Well we can hope the right wing nutcases try to put the phytoplankton on fire and drown in the process. 

See the Norwegian state are stopping all funds going into the Brazilian Amazon conservation fund as well. Not sure it's the right move, but doesn't look like it would affect anything either way, so maybe it is.

Will this be like Notre Dame where businessmen and celebrities offer millions/billions to save/rebuild yet when it actually comes around to sending the money they fall silent?

Notre Dame has barely received a penny from the billionaires who have likely used it as a publicity stunt.

No, no.

They'll get so much money that they'll have to cut down tons of trees to have enough paper to print it on.

As if the Amazon fires wasn't enough.

Quote

(CNN)Malaysian authorities distributed half a million face masks to residents on Tuesday after large-scale forest fires in Indonesia spread smoke and thick smog to neighboring countries.

Intense forest fires have raged across the Indonesian regions of Sumatra and Kalimantan in recent weeks. More than 930,000 hectares (about 2.3 million acres) of land have been burned, hundreds of residents evacuated, and more than 9,000 personnel have been deployed to battle the flames, according to CNN Indonesia.
Nearby, Singapore and Malaysia have both choked in a dense haze all week, with air quality reaching unhealthy levels.
The fires were allegedly caused by farmers using slash and burn techniques to clear the ecologically rich land -- the same practice that led to uncontrollable fires in the Brazilian Amazon this summer.
