Absolutely, isn't one if the big arguments of free trade booster the raising of environmental standards?
Bolsonaro: "Help from outside with the fires? That's colonialism!"
Also Bolsonaro: "We don't have enough resources to stop the fires".
Also Bolsonaro: "We don't have enough resources to stop the fires".
This is exactly what Bolsonaro's agribusiness allies were afraid would happen. They have actually been pressuring him to clamp down on the fires out of fear of being locked out of European markets.
Good, tarrifs on ALL Brazilian imports needs to be implemented in every country they do business with.
while i support fucking bolsonaro's government over and over until he goes MIA, i'm kinda worried that sanctions on Brazil will fuck up my life even more. oh, well.
This is the issue, the amazon is getting descemated by people building more farms.

lol, the only country in Mercosur that can put any sort of pressure is Argentina, which is unlikely given that it's having its very own meltdown shitshow right now.
Us and Paraguay always get fucked over by those 2, and don't really have that much bargaining power in the large scheme of things.
Varadkar never should have agreed with the deal in the first place. So hypocritical to be talking about climate and making a coalition with greens, while buying beef from Brazil, even without the fires.
It also fucks over our rural communities who rely heavily on beef.

Feels like Argentina has been in constant meltdown since the late 90's.
Yeah... makes sense. The Last Unfucked Nuclear Power and The Groovy Celts. Hang in there as long as you can. We need y'all.
This is not a solution. The primary buyers of Brazilian beef are Russia, China and Venezuela, the largest 'western' importer is Italy and Brazilian beef makes up one half of one percent of their market. You can't boycott something that just isn't for sale.
