That's not true, tropical forests are carbon and oxygen neutral in their cycle

This is true, you’re right (I was mainly saying that it does produce oxygen, not that it really goes anywhere, which I’ll admit does sound a bit misleading now that I look back on it). If I remember correctly, it’s actually emitting more carbon dioxide than it absorbs atm…which is quite annoying considering most of that carbon is coming from the people who keep lighting it on fire to make room for farms.
