    That’s a very different thing to clear cutting, it’s like saying dumping toxic waste in your fish pond is the same as feeding them.

      I wasn’t responding to the clear cutting. I was responding to the burning. I don’t know what you’re on about but way to mangle a topic.

        Ok let me explain in more detail, there is what you describe of back burning which exists in some places but there is also the widely practiced method of clear cutting which often involves burning down the forest to get rid of it and create farm land. Did you not see all the stories about deforestation in Brazil using this method?

          Yea, I said backburning. Glad we finally agreed what words mean now.

            And you said it to correct someone that didn’t use that specific phrase, hence why I pointed out your mistake
