I wish the United States of America had the will power to do something about their own country's emissions as well, but alas. Or that the EU would have the balls to stand up to the USA instead of licking their boots. Perhaps future governments will see the seriousness of the situation, but it appears that that would be too late. So far it seems to be up to individuals to try and save the planet.

China seems to be the biggest Brazil partner. EU and USA do not contribute much.

Given that the Chinese are big buyers of Soya Beans and the USA are using Soya Beans in their trade war against China, I can't help but think that they've basically been pouring petrol onto the Amazon..

> EU and USA do not contribute much.

Not true.

They have, but when they do, everyone in latin america call them imperialists, so, why bother?

When has the US tried to influence Brazil to stop the deforestation in Amazon?

A cynic might point out that Bolsonaro was far more palatable to American finance and government than the alternative. He is to some degree America's monster and has caused a thawing of US-Brazil relations which wasn't possible under left wing leaders.

The whole situation is terrible but I don't think the establishment powers in the US would have much interest in pressuring his administration.

you may be right, but my history as dictator has shown me to be too soft so far
