"Now I am Nero, setting the Amazon aflame." (Brazilian Pres. Bolsonaro)

Like Trump in America, you're making matters worse, not better, by being at the helm.

Besides, as large as the fire is, dumping a little water on it is like trying to put a bonfire out with a squirt gun, isn't it?

This is pure corruption and criminal behavior, and Bolsonaro should be locked up for a very long time, not that that is going to do any good now for the indigenous people who live in the Amazon and the rest of the world.

Now this is a crisis that would need international efforts.

But with a man like Bolsonaro in charge... The Amazon may not survive much longer.

Bolsonaro is another corrupt president. He and his government are directly responsible for the fires and the poor response. It is all a money grab for large farm operations and natural resources. I feel sorry for Brazil and their poor choice in leadership. What people fail to comprehend is 20% of our oxygen comes from there, so if the Amazon disappears, we are all screwed.

The same sympathy can be said for the US and its choice in leadership at the moment.

French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday said the G7 was nearing a deal to provide "technical and financial help" to countries affected by the Amazon fires.

Socialism!

But a liter ain't equivalent to a gallon!

When the frequency and intensity of natural disasters increase due to climate change because of bad decisions by corrupt officials. We can let those same corrupt officials solve those problems eazy peezy!
