Facing global pressure, Brazil's Bolsonaro may send army to curb Amazon fires

BRASILIA - Amid growing global condemnation, Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro said on Friday he may mobilize the army to help combat a record number of fires sweeping through the Amazon rainforest.

Stung by the international outcry, Brazil distributed a 12-page circular, exclusively seen by Reuters, to foreign embassies, outlining data and statistics defending the government’s reputation on the environment. The government agency INPE has registered 72,843 fires, the highest number since records began in 2013. More than 9,500 have been spotted by satellites over the past week.

Bolsonaro has repeatedly said he believes Brazil should open up the Amazon to business interests, allowing mining, agricultural and logging companies to exploit its natural resources. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson tweeted that the fires were “not only heartbreaking, they are an international crisis,” while a spokeswoman said Johnson would use the summit of G7 leaders this weekend to call for a renewed focus on protecting nature.

To do what ... shoot the fire?

'May' isn't really good enough

It is sazonal issue. Next days fires will be back up to early november. MacronLies.

May send army? We’re way past maybe, everyone should be sending personnel.

Nice. Now I'd like to know: what Evo Morales will do about the fires in Bolivia? Will the press ever ask this question?

Nature reminding humanity it does not care about us.

This wreck of man has once said that Brazil should export milk from 'Amazonian platypus'. Bolsonaro is a brainless mammal who embodies the worst of Brazilian feudal society.

Bolsonaro you can ask for whatever help you need to stop the fires and be a hero. Of sorts. Or you can be remembered as the laughable idiot who let the rainforest burn and bragged about how many hectares of land you were clearing for 'progress'.

Yes NGO is bad, but fire in Amazon still need to rescue

Bolsonaro is concerned that his sweetheart deals with companies raping the Amazon may be exposed.

He needs to bloody hurry up, fool.

And mexico will pay for it!

He plans to send them on a slow boat through a river of molasses.

wow really... ? NOW hey u guys wanna wait another two weeks before you start.. i mean, its okay.. only your own back yard -- no biggie right?

tRump hasn't given his words of forest management yet? Omg.

Send the army now

are they going to shoot away the fire?

Congratulations

It’s a good thing there’s another habitable planet so close by and we can airlift this world’s population there. It would be absolutely insane and unthinkable to leave future generations with this burned out planet. AmazonRainforest

'may' I'd like to see a WILL
