France and Ireland declare opposition to trade deal over Amazon fires

France and Ireland have said they will oppose an EU trade deal with South American countries unless Brazil takes action to stop the burning of the Amazon.

Right, but we (developed countries) must be willing to pay/compensate developing countries for the services to the global climate their forests and natural resources provide.

And America? where the fuck is America in all this?

Still talking about Brazil: Aabout the policies to exterminate poor black people? We are living under censorship of a fascist liberal government! Is the world worried about that? This oppressive government that is destroying not only the Amazon, but culture, art and our freedoms.

Regarding the Amazon rainforest fires, The Guardian publishes today that Brazil is committing suicide. You're right, though, the world only cares about our country now because of the forest. And what does the world have to say about economic and social suicide?

Finally

Refuse any trade deal and send the UN in to protect the Amazon

Worldwide pressure on the Bolsonaro regime is critical. Somehow I doubt that the Trump regime will participate.

Brilliant, well done.

Of course Bolsonaro lied. That's all he does. He hides numbers and go saying to people everything is OK, but he hides numbers, cuts funds, blames serious ONGs and even indigenous people. Forest leaders have been pwrsecuted and even killed. And he just laughs at all that.

How very positive and forward thinking of France and Ireland.

ForaBol卐onaro

Yes!!

lies and lies

More please.

The forest burns whilst they use threatening words. Water is needed and effort. Not words. Politicians are fighting a fire with words. That’s like yelling at the wind to make it stop. Pathetic

I propose we put western powers in charge of the Amazon. The result would be a general take fest filling foreign coffers. Threats won't solve this.

The white nation president trying to lift his 22% approval rating is he hahaha groomed victim

Well done!

PROTECTED AREAS OF 9 COUNTRIES OVER 2.5 M km2 IN PERCENTAGE (IUCN, 2016)

Sad that our lame, swimming-in-da-Nile child-President will not lift a tiny finger to admonish the fascist Brazil government.

Brazil: 61% of preserved native forest, 15% of energy production from non-renewable sources. Europe: Less than 1% of preserved native forest, 49% of energy production is based on fossil fuel. So...Back off!

A trade deal years away before signing. Its domestic political posturing for both Ireland and France.

Yeah. Of course they are....

Good.

Yeah that'll stop them *bangs self in face forever*

Amazon wildfires: Brazil and France clash over burning rainforestThe number of forest fires in Brazil - more than 74,000 - has increased by 83% compared with the same period last year, with smoke that is visible from 400 miles up in space Really don’t know why they don’t leave Brazilian rain forest alone. There is no magic, illness curing fruit in there, nothing that will make you look 10 years younger. Industrialised countries who produce an excess of CO2 should have to pay towards the upkeep and perhaps subsidise these farmers so that they protect the forest, and not burn it. It’s a world problem. Idiot Macron and that berk from Ireland seek only political gain for themselves.
