The Amazon rain forests do not supply a net 50% of our oxygen. The decaying flora and fauna on the ground below sucks up most of it. If you were to hover over the rain forest and try to breath, you'd probably asphixiate - which is a very interesting and meaningful way of offing yourself. And frankly, I detect a bit of a desire to stick around a bit in the poster's words. This is disgusting! We can't have closet environmentalist sentiment floating around net.suicide! Whatever happened to the really sincere autooffers? Sigh.
