The Brazilian trump say the fires were started by NGO's to make him look bad, and said that Brazil couldn't spare 40 firefighters to fight the fires that are destroying a football field per minute.

Meanwhile, check out the glacier melts in Iceland and Greenland.
I went to a SFL planning meeting last week. Miami-Dade has an impact model using median sea level rise numbers. Keys are doing detailed elevation surveys using drones. Prediction: critical infrastructure submerged during seasonal high tides within 30 years. SFL counties are proposing updates to the building codes, regarding flood elevations and materials for foundations and other below ground construction. Went to lunch with some of the engineers that have contracts, and they're already feeling bad about billing for a problem that likely can't be fixed, also mentioned, "wait till the insurance industry see this." |

Amazon fires: Bolsonaro actively trying to devastate rainforest, leaked documents show
The Independent Zamira Rahim,The Independent Thu, Aug 22 11:26 AM EDT Jair Bolsonaro hopes to sabotage conservation efforts in the Amazon, leaked documents show. A series of powerpoint slides reveal that Brazilian government officials intend to build a bridge, motorway and hydroelectric plant through the rainforest. The plans, which were leaked to Open Democracy, have emerged as fires rage throughout the Amazon. Brazil's space research centre, Inpe, has detected 72,843 fires so far this year - an 84 per cent rise compared to 2018. The fires have been blamed for a plume of smoke which blocked out the sun over Sao Paulo on Monday. The leaked slides are thought to have been used at a meeting in February, held between Brazilian government officials and local leaders in the Para state, which is the site of Amazonia National Park. "Development projects must be implemented on the Amazon basin to integrate it into the rest of the national territory in order to fight off international pressure for the implementation of the so-called 'Triple A' [conservation] project," one slide reads. "To do this, it is necessary to build the Trombetas River hydroelectric plant, the Óbidos bridge over the Amazon River, and the implementation of the BR-163 highway to the border." The Triple A project is a conservation effort led by the Gaia Amazonas organisation, in collaboration with NGOs and international governments. It aims to conserve the world's largest protected area, a corridor of rainforest 135m hectacres long. The corridor is intended to stretch across nations, from the Andes to the Amazon to the Atlantic. But Mr Bolsonaro, Brazil's controversial president, appears to be deliberately obstructing the conservation effort and suggest that NGOs and indigenous communities living within the Amazon are undermining the country. The desperate efforts of indigenous communities to save the forest have recently attracted attention on social media. One clip, which was first shared online in July, features a distressed Pataxo woman. The woman accuses illegal ranchers of starting fires in the Amazon in the video. It has been viewed almost five million times, according to BBC News. Brazil's government is now under increasing pressure to intervene. But Ricardo Salles, Brazil's environment minister, was booed and heckled on Wednesday while appearing at the Latin American and Caribbean Climate Week. The meeting, which focused on climate change, was held in the city of Salvador. As Mr Salles took to the stage at the summit, he was met only with jeers. Mr Bolsonaro, a far-right leader, on Thursday claimed his government "lacks the resources" to fight the blaze, but many environmental groups are now blaming him directly for the devastation. ------------------------- Dora Hates You |

What to do?
At this point, just watch it die I was born on Planet Earth The rotating ball where man comes first It's been around for a long, long time But now it's time to watch it die I saw a man on my big blue screen He ruled the world economy He said the rich would never concede But some day soon he'll be put to sleep I've seen the life of the forest green And adaptations of the deep blue sea And who knows who is the fittest They will all soon be put to rest On a plunging flight and we're sitting in the pilots seat In the midst of life People on a dark horizon praying Somebody will save their lives I was born on Planet Earth At a drastic time full of plastic mirth And every day I've seen increasing signs And you would too if you'd opened your eyes You had a chance, you did not try So now it's time to watch it die Now it's time to watch it die |

I love that Graffin was writing this in early 90's.
Also, that photo collage on the cover, two 1930's racist murders mocking the press after an all white jury acquittal, with the heads of Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp guard dogs. They're touring FL mid Sep Edited: 08/26/2019 at 06:28 AM by 3rdworldlover |

From a Libtard rag---no wonder you guys are so demented!!
As the amazon forest continues to burn, emitting carbon dioxide and destroying the lungs of the Earth, many people in western countries - white majority countries - continue to deny the unfolding climate crisis. Why is that? Scientists admit that the primary victims of global warming are invariably going to be people living in poverty-stricken countries - where women are especially at risk. Worsening global conditions put these underprivileged classes of people at significant risk for becoming victims of starvation, natural disaster, and opportunistic imperialism. The increasing rate of desertification in countries such as Africa is only going to accelerate as the white bourgeoisie continue to pump carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to meet the needs of our materialistic, capitalist, and privileged societies. With increasing opposition to explicit imperialist activities in the countries inhabited by people of color, whites have turned to a sort of imperialism by proxy. After all, if people are no longer able to farm in their own countries, the populations of these countries will inevitably fall victim to starvation and death; thinning the populations of people of color will increase their dependence on foreign nations, which will make it significantly easier to exploit them and steal their resources. As if that weren't bad enough, these underprivileged people of color are at an increased risk of falling victim to natural disaster. Scientists assert that we can expect to see an increase in catastrophic weather events that result from the increasingly volatile weather conditions generated by climate change. An increase in hurricanes, for example, will further decimate the populations of underprivileged countries and increase their dependence on privileged nations. ------------------------- Romans 8;18-32 John 3;16-18 |

Bolsonaro is a classic right wing military fascist thug. He ran his campaign on increasing access for farmers, loggers, and developer types to clear vast areas of previously protected amazon forest areas. These fires are exactly in line with what his previously stated goals are and have been. He has zero intention of doing anything about it.
The actual numbers on what is actually happening are staggering. And then all the soil washes away when the rain sets in, leaving a barren nutrient depleted wasteland good for nothing. And wipes out fishing in the amazon as an added bonus! Yep, the perfect ally for your slash and burn, scorched earth, rape pillage plunder tangerine messiah. Much more to come, watch this space....... ------------------------- It's a democratic hoax |
