Could renewed international pressure from foreign governments and corporations demanding protection of the Amazon convince the Brazilian government to rethink its policies, or will they simply go ignored, as it favours short-term economic gain over long-term environmental protection?

Solution: Worldwide boycott of food from Brazil! Boycott to beef, grains, and other crops from deforestation areas!

Why was deforestation not front and centre at the Climate Change forum. Is it because self-titled environmentalists are so focused on fossil fuels that they cannot see the forest for the trees? Maybe some of the billions in dollars spent by countries to sequester carbon and build out electrical infrastructure should be spent on buying and preserving rainforests around the world

That's because modern day 'envoironmentalism' isn't actually about the environment.

I hope it‘s not necessary, can’t they just delete the comments? It’s not a completely overwhelming amount of spam comments.
