I like the other points you made, but what in the world are you talking about here?

People slashing and burning rain forests aren't poor because us greedy people have robbed them and driven them to poverty; they were never wealthy in the first place. It's their adoption of technology that has allowed them to quickly destroy forests for short-term profits. See any similarity with that behavior and the rest of humanity?
