The deforestation depicted in those photos is not the result of climate change, but of ill-advised logging activity.

GP said deforestation causing climate change, not deforestation caused by climate change.

Yes, I do. What's that got to do with it? My point is that humans can do serious damage to both their own environment and their means for survival, be it on a world or island scale.

There's no need to be snide about it.

Sorry, that was not my intent. I'll edit.
