Will all the mammals die? I mean not straight away but would we be breathing in to much carbon dioxide because the amazon rainforest removes 1 ton of Co2 a year so would that gradually be the reason for the extinction. Or would it just be a disaster and increasen the threat of global warming but pose no real threat to the end of the world... sorry, that doesn't really make sense but I was just wondering, because i've found some interesting facts on the amazon!

Some animals could perish because they cannot adapt to the new environment, while others would be just fine. I believe that the rain forest removes MUCH more than 1 ton of CO2 each year. That could hurt everyone at least a good deal. Since the Rain forest also has more different species of pretty much every kind of animal imaginable, and that we keep finding new ones, it could lessen our chances to discover them too.

The world as we know it will no longer exist.
The Rain Forest is more important than most people realize. By the time they do realize it, it'll be too late.

It would suck that the rainforest and several plant and animal species were gone. That's it. Nothing else would happen.
