The Amazon and the World are Burning - SilverFang01 - 08-21-2019
Thanks to Bolsonaro (Brazil’s homegrown Trump) the Amazon rainforest has been on fire for several days.
Now, the way I understand it, if the forest loses upwards of 25% it will trigger a feedback loop beyond any hope of restoration.
The rest of the world is not far behind.
And just to pre-empt the climate denialists: “I’ll take your opinion and put it in my bank account to see if generates some interest.”

And for ages, the worlds media just ignores it. Oh, scream about a fucking church, but when there's an actual mass disaster... Donated, written to my local politicians, gone looking for other things I can do here...

Looks like it's time to start investing in canned air.

Who’s got the plans for Mega-maid?

As a major fan of robots that turn into other things, I must sadly inform you that Mega-Maid does not work, or at least not without severe Budianskyization/TARDIS-tech/etc. Props that have gone to auction back this up, with multiple versions of the parts that were shown on screen whose close-ups were cut together to make the transformation sequence.
Also, lacking a convenient planetary shield to act as a funnel, or for that matter another convenient planet with a breathable atmosphere, sucking up a significant amount of clean air for remote delivery would be difficult. You're probably better off adapting the scrubber tech those eco-freak planet punks keep wanting to punish successful businesses by requiring them to mount them in their smoke stacks to be on the intake side of air-domes over important places (You know, where the important people are - if they can't afford it, they obviously aren't important anyway) or something. /s
