'Our house is burning. Literally. The Amazon rain forest — the lungs which produces 20% of our planet's oxygen — is on fire,' France's President Macron tweeted.

:"I regret that Macron seeks to make personal political gains in an internal matter for Brazil and other Amazonian countries. The sensationalist tone he used does nothing to solve the problem."

They may have had at least tacit encouragement from the firebrand right-wing president, who took power in January. Bolsonaro has repeatedly said he believes Brazil should open the Amazon up to business interests, to allow mining, agricultural and logging companies to exploit its natural resources. "There is deforestation in Brazil, yes, but not at the rate and level that they say," said Lorenzoni, according to the Brazilian news website globo.com.

I bet the liars at MSNBC put out this phoney the world is burning up story without verification. Farmers in the Amazon burn off their fields every year the same as farmers everywhere. This year is not exceptional. Look it up. More Fake News from the MSM. walkaway

Bolsonaro set brazil on fire

I hear that it is the ranchers setting the fires?

One year from now this will be forgotten with absolutely no ill effect on the planet or our oxygen levels. It's ridiculous to believe this nonsense.

Tell Shannon “hit them on the nose and pat them on the head” is an insult.

One word. China.

spauley311 A source noted that Mike Pence is thinking of a primary against Trump next year.

It’s not just Bolsonaro. Evo Morales,President of Bolivia authorized the legal burn of the forest in order to secure votes for an upcoming illegal election. The fires are now approaching towns.

Guess Bolsonaro knows as much as trump..at least though he is finally doing something

Not to worry, Trump is sending rakes.

Well now we know his true intentions.

Let's strip the Earth have anything green, any animal that we don't see as edible meat, and any ice, because ice makes things too cold, so let's do that, I'm sure the human race Will Survive just great......

You either learn to live without oxygen or you die. That’s been my experience anyway.

Now this is one climate agenda I can get behind.

Im volunteering myself to help stop fire but need air ticket. So

That man should be put in a cell by the world leaders. We should also all send whatever people we can to help. From red Cross and health professionals for the people and armys navys and Air forces to help with any crime and all the fires.

Utter BS. It's annual farm burning. Look up what NASA shows each year.

Brazil will react if we act: do not buy any meat that comes from Brazil....stop eating brasilean chicken or pork!!!

Brazil every body needs help from time to time .This is not just going to effecting Brazil ! Or are you going to gain from this?

A DJT want-to-be.

En el corazón de este G7Biarritz clima y biodiversidad. El océano y el bosque que arde en el Amazonas nos llaman. Tenemos que responderles. Y de manera concreta. Sobre estos temas, el tiempo ya no es para palabras, sino para hechos. G7 Macron 24/08/2019

Why reward ppl for NOT burning the Amazon? They are holding the earth hostage.

He tweeted a false photo from 2006 however and factually the Amazon is not 20% of our oxygen in fact %70 of our oxygen is produced by algae 😂 simple science class could tell you these things.

Bolsonaro has death in his eyes.

🇧🇷 Brazilian administration should ask by G7 b/c it’s kind of carelessness. If jairbolsonaro knowing its the dry seasons why he didn’t prepared ?

Everyone is using the scripted message...how cute

G7 ActForTheAmazon

This reminds me of the frog in the boiling pot fable... By the time the fake newsers, hoaxers, and climate denying people finally figure out the truth, it will already be too late. One of these days, nature will self correct. Keep it up 😎

Getting what he has said

Sad! Evil minded leader is he

They act like nothing can be done about it, other than submit to their Life Tax. These are not Leaders. They could have ordered billions of saplings this weekend. Trees CAN be re/planted. They just count you on your ignorance

BoycottBrazil

I will hold my breath for 30 seconds and do my share.

He risks facing a foreign invasion if he does not put out the fires quickly. Amazon is too precious and too necessary for Humanity to left at the mercy of an illiterate and vulgar fascist. Brasil is a Federal Republic, it is not a colony and, much less, a plantation.

It seems to me every nation In the world should pay amazon nations to protect the land rather than demand they protect it and receive no needed revenue

FAKE NEWS.

This is awful news and needs to be dealt with immediately.

HE IS THE PERSONIFICATION OF EVIL.

we are going to interfere 😊

MrBill32350376 He wants to turn the Amazon into the desert

Donald thinks he's a macaroon

Where is the Army to help and the fighter fighting planes? The terms 'fire bomber' and 'water bomber' are both used to refer to fire-fighting aircraft.

China is everywhere it seems these days now she's involved in Brazil wanting to be supplied with soybeans. China is knee deep in Africa draining every natural resource they have. China is duping poor 3rd world girls as 'brides' for their men. Stealing intellectual property...

Time for some UN peace keepers to straighten him out... Minus the peace of course...

Macron is right his home is burning...

FACT CHECK: There are always fires in the Amazon and right now there are fewer than normal!

Bolsonaro, is it about the money? Follow the money trail👞👞👞👞👞👞👞👞👞👞👞👞♨♨♨♨♨

The AMAZON rain forest is burning because the farming industry wants to clear the land for their crops. After all, now BRAZIL is supplying CHINA with their soybeans and there is $$ to be made. A few ppl may die, as long as it isnt them. Small price to pay.

Either it’s our house or it’s our lungs. Choose your metaphor.

'Don't interfere'? Well, what are you bolsonarojair doing to resolve the problem of the burning? What are you doing to put out the fires and preserve the natural resource humanity needs to survive? This is why the rest of the world is concerned.

Cubfan1324 Is he related to Trump?

Forest fires actually have some benefits. That rainforest will grow back thicker and more vibrant because of it. What one needs to worry about is the massive deforestation that has been happening there for decades.

How many acres burned in 2016, and how many 'news' outlets cared then?

And then macron used a 20 year old photo. Can’t blame it on climate fluctuations.

Your FAKENEWS.

We should take out Bolsonaro bin-Laden style.

Let it burn! The earth needs to rid itself of us and start over

The messiah can just wish away the fire

So.....put....it....tha.....fook....out!

the world is making it our business...

The Climate Prophets Have Spoken

First the amazon does not produce 20% of the planets O2, Plus it is the dry season, in 2 months there will be 0 fires.

Or what?

🤪

if Brazil cannot afford to care for them we need to annex them

Look around your own homes and backyards! How many trees are you responsible for killing!

This is no joke. 20% of the worlds oxygen comes from the Amazon and this guy is letting farmers burn it down. Perhaps the United Nations should send in troops to stop this insanity before the damage is irreversible. I’ve gotten used to oxygen!

How about imposing economic sanctions on Brazil instead of just talking about it?

For more than 15 years fire occasionally occurs in some north regions of Brazil at winter. The world just figured out this week. And it's all Bolsonaro's fault, since he is the president almost seven months. That means: YOU ARE FAKE NEWS.

Macron spread fake news. Used a picture from 1989 to tell his lies in interest. Oxygen of world is not produced by amazon rainforest and our land is not ‘his house’. He is and idiot who doesn’t respect sovereign and others countries people! MacronLies

É o Ânus do Macron a Amazônia é nossa do povo brasileiro , ele não tem capacidade para tomar conta da França é um idiota que está querendo aparecer pois os coletes Amarelos vão engolir ele na França

Not to interfere or what? He’ll kill us all? At what point do lethal actions cross the line into threats to civilization grave enough to merit force? Asking for 7.55 billion friends

wdtnjohn Perhaps the people of the area shouldn't have allowed wholesale tree harvesting, making the forest more vulnerable.

FAKE NEWS

U need to ask help from our Lord Jesus Christ

Yes, EmmanuelMacron . Your house is burning.

Fake News!!!!

The world needs to interfere! These so called world leaders willing to destroy the earths resources need to be called out and replaced if necessary for the sake of all people!

Didn't the US help him get elected?

Their president is just like our president. If he can't get it, he will destroy it....🤫

Let's wage a war on forest fires. No? Okay.

My hair is on fire 🔥, it’s on fire! Gore made $$$$$ This, I’ll try!!! Shame, shame for pouring gas in the Clinton/Gore scam! FOX40 POTUS

Yeah he meant Paris is burning, not the Amazon. Macron should fix his own country's problems first, then worry about countries abroad.

Nero 3.0

Bolsonaro is a criminal! All the World Versus Bolsonaro This is a real right war.

The Trump of Brazil seems happy to recover more useless land for short term gains.

“Oxygen: The Latest Liberal Hoax. Tonight on Tucker.”

It's NOT the rain forest burning. It's former agricultural land that has already been deforested. Evidently, this happens some every year due to drought, but hopefully they get it under control.

INVADEBRASIL

And yet POTUS is all crickets

Propaganda network. Looks at the different sizes of fires there per year. Activists pushing a narrative. No truth at all

It's almost like something unnatural is happening with the climate; getting hotter somehow... ClimateCrisis TrumpIsADisgrace ImpeachmentInquiryNow

Put OUT THE FIRES, Bolsonaro...or it's WAR!

Let's pray for Amazon

potus doesn’t give a damn

Mácron lies.

Greed is literally killing the planet

Stop eating meat. This is why they are burning

So sad. What is happening in this world?

This far right dude got elected ( well, became president of Brazil) by running as a climate change denier. Go figure.

I think amazon is a Brazil’s problem. This type of fire happens occasionally time to time in dry season. What are the interests of other countries for Amazon 🤔🤔💵

This is FALSE !! The Amazon is net zero oxygen. Please do your own research, don't just listen.

Brazil’s President is responsible for those fire. Not only a couple of days ago a court ruled in favor of the indigenous of the land. Then thousands of fires.

How about cloud seeding over them have it rain 🌧 puts out fire 🔥

Que oportunista Macron, porque también no pasa lo mismo con Bolivia, además los de chalecosamarillos tienen la verdad en Francia y en Brasil parece un preparado para Balsonaro que cayó en la trampa de Trump que si busca en todo hacer negocio.

maggieNYT Brazil’s local Cheeto

maggieNYT Every country should stop trading with Brazil until the do something about this.

maggieNYT The Brazilian Trump at work!

PaxNostrum Hey Rich People, do something about The Amazon Rain Forest. Do Something.

maggieNYT Bolsonaro, Trump’s alter ego! Bigger idiots impossible to find!

maggieNYT Why isn't realDonaldTrump sending all resources to help fight this fire? Please EmmanuelMacron Bring this up at G7.

maggieNYT Just because the rain forest is burning does not mean we're all going to die tomorrow. We have at least a good decade left to destroy ourselves! As the song says, 'Don't, worry, be happy!' Having a hard time trying to get the sand out of my buried head, making it hard to listen.

WhiteSupremacist Capitalism is going to kill us all. ProtectNativeLand AmazonFire

It’s not natural to be that ignorant and stupid. He has to work at it.

He wants to sell some peace of Amazonia to Trump so he can build a super incredible resort whit a golf course and a super hotel...that's why...I got it 🤫🤫🤫

Enrique_Acevedo Yeah, and Crickets, Norte Dame burns and millions are donated in minutes disgusted

Sanctions to Brazil cows meat and all the agriculture products that come from the farmers in the Amazon region!!!!

A question...as the amazon produces about 20% of the global oxygen content, could this fire not be looked at by the UN or at the very least the US as a threat to global or national security?

ImpeachmentBolsonaro

You evil man!

Oh no, there's a forest fire! Because forest fires have NEVER happened before! Alarmist moron.

CindyDayTrip Bolsonaro needs to be removed before it’s too late.

Time for the UN to step in and teach this fool a lesson.

The picture he posted was from 1989, you should mention it on your article as well 🤷🏾‍♂️

Nero fiddling while Rome burns.

Makron is an idiot who can not even take care of France

Bolsonaro is a corrupt POS!

The world is responsible for extinguishing fires, but forest fires are useful because hot air through fires transports millions of seeds elsewhere and new forests are created.

Pay for it..

They should have done a better job raking the forest floors.

What kind of statement is it from the Brazilian leader 🤦‍♂️

Talking much and meaning nothing

If the Brazilian government will not stop this madness the UN must make them stop. Order in air water tankers w/ usairforce and USNavy escorts and drop water on the AmazonFires . saveAmazonia

Guess you refuse to report these were set by people. This has nothing to do with climate change...

....BRAZIL'S BOLSONARO = ....U S A 'S TRUMP ....

Amazon is a brazilian issue. Macron get not deal with Paris streets and want to solve brazilian environament matters. Get off with your dirty and radioactive hands. That's the problem when a man marry an ugly woman. He stands looking for things at the world to avoid backing home.

Shot from space

That's just not true : please, check NASA's data on this manter:

he won't accept he is to blame...he should be there in the middle of the Amazon forest to receive his ultimate punishment

This is what happens when you elect greedy con-men to office.

someone please fire this guy..

Fire spreads. Its like Brazil in a tropical climate.

why them don't make an artificail rain for stop fire.

Good thing there weren't clear warning signs he was a complete nutjob........ ...........

Science says the Amazon are the Lungs of the Earth. I can almost feel the singe as I breathe, even from North America.

This is unbelievable. Brazil must stop this crime..!!

This dude sounds about as capable as our dude of getting anything accomplished.

Has trump lectured him on how he should rake the floors of The Amazon yet?

This is terrifying. This is where we are today. The rainforest is burning!!!

UN, PCA, WHO, we have all these multi country paper pushing organizations. Just organizations designed to give high paying jobs to pals of the elite.

An you forgot to mention fired the CEO of a company that reported deforestation had increased about 245% since july/2018 thats the last dot to connect he has other motives WakeUpAmerica

Uh oh! We have Trump II. We’re in trouble, people! The world can’t survive their pathological narcissism. Dude says fires being started to make him look bad. Like trump says recession started to make him look bad!
