Here's it: Brazil research chief says Bolsonaro to sack him over deforestation row The head of Brazil's National Institute for Space Research said on Friday he would be sacked following a row with President Jair Bolsonaro over deforestation in the Amazon rain forest. Ricardo Galvao had accused far-right Bolsonaro of ''cowardice'' for publicly questioning satellite data produced by the institute, known by its initials INPE, that showed Amazon rain forest deforestation had increased 88 percent on-year in June. ''My words about the president have caused annoyance, so I'm going to be fired,'' said Galvao. Two weeks ago, Bolsonaro had told reporters: ''With all the devastation that you are accusing us of doing... the Amazon region would already have been extinguished.'' Bolsonaro, a climate change skeptic, also called on Galvao ''to come to Brasilia to explain the data that was released to the press.'' The president has previously floated the idea of opening up protected rain forest areas to agriculture, a highly controversial move given the existing level of deforestation. In his row with Galvao, Bolsonaro suggested the INPE president is ''in the service of some NGOs.'' More on here |

@ phallica - 1.06.19 - 09:22am Seems Americans care more about the economy than dems whining about how they're going to impeach Trump. https It has been revealed that the Chinese dissent cult, the Falun Gong has used its media arm the Epoch Times Media group to push a pro-Trump narrative since 2016. Recently, it has made itself the second biggest spender on Facebook ads, spending over 1.5 million, promoting itself and various conspiracy theories such as Qanon and ''truths'' about 9/11. http://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/trump-qanon-impending-judgment-day-behind-facebook-fueled-rise-epoch-n1044121 |

@ cerberus611 - 22.08.19 - 07:24pm The cheek at wanting to drain the Amazon and clear the forested land for agricultural, livestock and mining use. And people wonder why the natural world is changing.. You build a power plant, you need new forested land to balance or negate the effect on the environment, but environment is fu*ked in the vicinity just by building that. Why shouldn't they develop their country? |

Bolsonaro shouldn't even deny deforestation is happening. He should be proud of it and encourage more.

Salvini: 'Given this generous millionaire is voicing concern for the fate of the Open Arms migrants, we thank him: he can take back to Hollywood, on his private plane, all the people aboard and support them in his villas. Thank you Richard!' Lol. |
