Regarding the pictures, many pictures of burning forests were shared on social networks those past few days (eg. Instagram stories). Those are images of fires to illustrate people's message, they convey the greater concept that we should be aware of the Earth as a global shared system. No one is saying 'look at this picture of the Amazon burning right now' (not even in the Macron's tweet). Regarding "the Amazon provides 20% of our oxygen", I guess it could be debated, and the biodiversity would probably have been a better argument. |

I think it is flat out wrong and not really debatable. Also, focusing on oxygen is not the right thing to talk about because we have so much more oxygen than carbon dioxide.
Before we manage to consume significant amounts of our oxygen, we will have released so much carbon dioxide that a slight dip in O2 will not be a concern.
