Now those Brazilian bosses are placing their hope in another president—one who lacks Mr Bolsonaro’s populist disregard for science. Joe Biden has signalled that both his foreign and domestic policies will aim to arrest climate change. More than 60% of the remaining tree cover in the Amazon is in Brazil. Not only is the rainforest brimming with irreplaceable biodiversity; it is also a carbon sink. Burning or chopping it down turns it into a source of carbon emissions instead.
Until recently both countries were active participants in climate negotiations. As secretary of state in 2016, Mr Kerry signed the Paris accord on climate change. Brazil used its stewardship of the Amazon as a way to “punch above its weight”, says Tom Shannon, a formerambassador to Brazil. Between 2008 and 2019 Norway and Germany donated more than $1bn to Brazil’s Amazon Fund, which aims to curb deforestation and support sustainable development.
Mr Biden could help. The $20bn he has pledged to raise for the Amazon could be made conditional on Brazil meeting environmental goals. So could Brazil’s request to join the, a club of mostly rich countries. In the past, Brazil has stymied the creation of a global carbon market by insisting that credits it sells to other countries should also count as its own emissions reductions. Such double-counting would result in a smaller cut overall.
We need the Amazon: in the atmosphere, it maintains carbon levels. And in an wtmosphere Carbon levels are directly related to temperatures: more free carbon causes higher 🌡️ s. For example, the planet Venus was once much cooler, but Carbon levels made it inhospitable. Climate
Lol
The Amazon is Brazilian, and it is the Brazilians who will decide what to do with her. if the people want a new president, just vote against it in 2022. We will not give in to any blackmail.
Did those came out of your golden $$?
So quick to call for measures against Bolsonaro, so slow to call for measures against Iran. Brazil should receive money in exchange for slowing its development, Iran should receive sanctions for boosting the development of nuclear weapons.
Whack Bolsonaro....says the “The Wokeconomist”..
Start by putting Bolsonaro in jail.
I regret that a 'international news agency' is so incapable of doing what it should be doing best.
Whack away already. He is destroying everything
Suggestion to POTUS Move quickly on this!! Our lives depend on it.
As if the US president was some kind of whac-a-mole player smashing other countries head of state when they don’t behave.
Brazil was ruled for 34 years by those who are now opposed. Question: What did FHC, Lula, Dilma do better? They are all leaders of corrupt party gangs, supported by a class of corrupt businessmen.
Joe Biden is not missing too many steps, aside from the occasional aircraft step: in conflict with China, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, Saude Arabia and soon, the UK, and Israel. At least be still has Iran and Yemen
Guys, POTUS die! jairbolsonaro is only 2 years in power, he received Brazil destroyed, without direction, Those who accuse his government are the thieves of the past, like the 'socialist' LulaOficial, the leader of the gang that diverted more than 200 billion dollars.

Poor sap can’t even walk steadily but literally has a grandiose blueprint of minding other’s business lol. Bless him.
The front pages of the Chinese news media are all video clips of the opening remarks by officials of the two dictatorships of the Sino-US dialogue. They are accompanied by Mao Zedong's famous saying: 'US imperialism is a paper tiger'! Reading the news makes people motivated!
Do not count on it. Mr. Bolsonaro lives in a bubble, 280K lost lives for Covid in one year, the biggest deforestation ever happened under his feets in only two years. After this horrible numbers, he does not admit none of this. He is a disaster.
