The Cerrado: how Brazil’s vital ‘water tank’ went from forest to soy fields
- blastonico 6y agoWell, we need to feed the largest "soy boy" generation ever.
- krimbus 6y agoI find it amusing how much attention the world is giving to deforesting in Brazil instead of addressing the billions of tons of CO2 that the US, EU and China keep pumping to the atmosphere year after year. It feels like Brazil was chosen as scapegoat to shift eyes from the fact that nothing is being done by some of the major culprits of global warming. I'm still in disbelief that I could only find a single news outlet that fact-checked Biden's claims about how much carbon the rainforest absorbs (https://www.clickondetroit.com/features/2020/09/30/fact-checking-climate-change-comments-in-first-presidential-debate/ https://www.clickondetroit.com/features/2020/09/30/fact-chec...). Of course that Bolsonaro doesn't help, but the amount of double standards force me to agree with his defensive stance.
