Everyone and their mother knows that the Amazon Rainforest is being logged at an astounding rate. But it turns out that the destruction is actually DOUBLE what the experts had originally believed. Thanks to some fancy new satellites, we now have a clear picture of the true impact of the deforestation - and it's not a pretty sight.

Check out the breaking story.

    This makes me so sad! It sounds like if the rainforest is going to change, it's going to change. I can only begin to imagine the impact on the environment, weather patterns, and local and global economies. What can we do about global warming when it has already gone this far?
