-------------------------------------------- Amazon fires 2019.08.23 20:41:52 CEST -------------------------------------------- If you have read a newspaper recently you most probably read about the wild fires destroying parts of the Amazon forest in Brazil. The amount of fake news going around is amazing. Having a rational conversation about the topic of exploring the Amazon is impossible these days. Yes, destroying the whole Amazon would be a disaster. But preserving it all at the cost of the Brazilian economy is also one. Yes, we need to be careful about the impact of deforestation. But forcing developing countries on "green agenda" is a known strategy by developed countries to maintain control and hegemony. We need to find a middle ground. No one wants middle grounds these days. It's all or nothing. |
