Oil and iron ore prices are pretty low, which means Brazil needs to ramp-up soy bean exports, which means the Amazon is going to get strip-mined even faster.
thank you for this trump you idiot.Oil and iron ore prices are pretty low, which means Brazil needs to ramp-up soy bean exports, which means the Amazon is going to get strip-mined even faster.
This is terrible, but people need to stop acting like stuff like this is the only thing that happens and no progress is being made. It's not a binary fucked/not fucked situation.
I truly think we are fucked beyond redemption, and the optimism we were sold over the lat 50 years was all smoke and mirrors.
People in the west are just fine making kids, not watching the news and living in their own bubble while the world burns down around them.
Those are all facts. If you deny those, the only one in a bubble is you.
Friendly reminder that the amazon gives us 20% of the oxygen on earth 🌎!
Look at how coal is dying when back when "An Inconvienent Truth" was released it seemed unstoppable.
I'm sorry, what? Coal just had a massive uprising in 2018, one of the reasons carbon emissions went up iirc.
Yeah sadly South America (or at least my country and parts of Brazil I've been in) seem to be really homophobic / transphoic, so saying stupid shit guarantees them a shit-ton of supporters.The religion drived people insane, they believed that the other candidate would install communism (?) and other satanic things like respect to trans people. It's so fucked up.
Make that two.

'Brutal news': global carbon emissions jump to all-time high in 2018
Rapid cuts needed to protect billions of people from rising emissions due to increase in use of cars and coal
But it is expected that emissions will start to decline again in 2019, as cheap gas, wind and solar continue to displace coal – coal use has dropped 40% since 2005 and it is now at its lowest level since 1979.
Hehe
They came of age in an era of unprecedented (and reckless) growth. As they approach their twilight years they can only think in terms of this cancerous level of growth. The fact that we realized such growth is undesirable long term doesn't make any dent on their delusions.What is it with that generation that they are so bent on destroying the world?
There's no hope for this planet. There's just too many selfish/stupid/racist assholes.
You'd think the minimum wage thing would be enough to turn a lot of people against him.
Our government's not in great shape either at the moment, and Bolsanaro has Donald Trump's support. Give us 2 years minimum to vote him out and get a Democratic majority in the Senate and maybe, maybe our government will take action against Bolsanaro's regime.I hope that the US Congress will impose sanctions on Brazil or stop this madness with military force.
Maybe states like California who would be heavily affected if 100% of the Amazonas gets destroyed must make more pressure and convince other states to do the same. It would be bad for the US economy, too.Our government's not in great shape either at the moment, and Bolsanaro has Donald Trump's support.

Dude about to kill a ton of indigenous people for this too. Like what kind of super villain shit...
Enquiring minds what to knowSo when does it become appropriate for one to attack the person who is swinging an axe at their left lung?
Who needs oxygen when we can have record profits for corporations instead?Friendly reminder that the amazon gives us 20% of the oxygen on earth 🌎!
If there is one thing worth fighting for on this earth it´s the preservation of nature. There is literally nothing more important than this.I'm not sure I can support military action to save the Amazon. That's a few levels of eco-militance above what I'm capable of considering.
And especially not under Trump.
That said, such a move does make sense in the long term.
It's rare that I invoke slippery slope but I need to invoke it now.If there is one thing worth fighting for on this earth it´s the preservation of nature. There is literally nothing more important than this.
Indigenous peoples honestly have it the worst regardless of which nation you're talking about. The only happy ones are the ones being kept secluded by international organizations.
Couldnt the UN intertwine?Dumbfuck does not understand the National and State Park Systems. We actively set out to preserve and restore our environmental treasures before it was too late.
I'll say it again, if this dick threatens the Amazon it warrants international intervention to protect the Amazon at all costs.
The problem is not the CO2 production but the destruction of 20% of Earth Oxygen source.It's rare that I invoke slippery slope but I need to invoke it now.
If we launch military action to save the Amazon, military action is justified against any nation that produces CO2 emissions/capita above a certain threshold. Including ourselves.
