True Madness may be measured by us, ourselves, and our lives.
The removal of rain forest coverage is one sure fire way to suicide for the planet, I don't think even the most conservative critic of Climate Change would argue against it: there is no "science" upon which to base opinion - no science which may be faulty or skewed one way or the other - only the evidence of the removal of the forest and the introduction of some economic enterprise, such as cattle raising.
Yet, at this point in our lives, even a sane approach to husbandry of the rain forests escapes us. Is there any wonder why other issues prove intractable?
Forest Footprint Disclosure makes us aware of how the things we consume everyday are involved in the dance of destruction:
and The Global Canopy Program " ... is an alliance of 37 scientific institutions in 19 countries, which lead the world in forest canopy research, education and conservation. Our work programmes all aim to define and explore the range and economic value of forest ecosystem services and to share our findings with decision-makers in Government and finance."

We wouldn't have any of these problems if there were only about 2-3 billion people on the planet. There are too damn many of us. Think termites.
Nature has it own ways of handling overpopulation: drought, famine, pandemic, ... Capitalism...and so on.
