What will happen if whole amazon forest get burn

I read some articles recently that the whole thing was portrayed per-dramatically and that this year's fires do not deviate significantly from the perennial average (10 years) and that Amazonia produces not 20 but only 6 percent of the earth's oxygen etc.
Of course, it's still a disaster, but not the cataclysm as some try to prove without concrete or true facts.
I don't think that whole Amazon may disappear but it will happen, we will still survive, don't worry

The temperature will probably increase and the sea level will increase, but it will happen anyway and is happening right now.

I don't know bout the oxygen levels but it's definitely a disaster for biodiversity. There could be species that would die before being discovered.

And I'm not talking about this purely from a conservation viewpoint. We could learn a lot from some species that might be discovered, like medicines etc.

But most people don't care if any of those rare species go extinct because it has virtually no effect on our lives. Capitalism isn't about conserving the environment, it is about extracting as much as you can to make big profits.

More like human greed and how well a government can implement laws. People will want more and given the chance will act on it. "Conservation" rarely cross the average person's mind unless they've been made to understand the value of the environment from a very young age or they see an immediate benefit to them (like fishermen turned tourist guides that used to kill and eat whale sharks).

Which is why I believe this started from farmers clearing more land by doing slash-and-burn. A similar fire has happened in Sabah years ago with the resulting smog getting into neighboring countries.
