SweetChilliJesusBrazil: Amazon deforestation drops 34% in first six months under Lula
Nice. Lula is Brazil’s greatest leader.
Pretty sure they couldn’t do worse than Bolsonaro.
yeah that would be almost impossible
That’s not nearly enough or fast enough though, the planet is dying now
Yeah but seems that no one gives a fuck. US and China are still the greatest polluters and don’t seem to care, Europe besides still seeming to want to do something, is not ready to press this both especially now with the Ukraine war so, yeah, we are pretty fucked up.
Europe is building coal plants rn
I just forgot this, this is just the top of the cake
nexusbandForget it again, because it’s utter BS. Germany hasn’t built a new coal plant since 2007. Datteln 4 was also planned to have a CCS (Carbon Capture System) - there where however massive protests against CCS in 2009 and in 2011 there was a new law…but it was too late and the CCS technology was bought by Canada. Austria outlawed CO2 Storage completely.
DreamerOfImprobableDreamsGermany is building coal plants, pretty much the rest of Europe is transitioning away from fossil fuels at a breakneck pace. (And to be fair, Germany's also investing heavily in clean energy and has made huge progress on that front. They just made the incredibly stupid decision to shut down their remaining nuclear plants before they had enough clean energy sources to make up for the power difference, which is why they're temporarily turning to coal.)
Germany is not building new coal plants, ffs. Stop this bullshit and inform yourself before that.
Wait, really? That's fantastic news! I guess I mixed it up with them increasing coal consumption / expanding existing coal mines to make up for the nuclear shutdowns.
The US passed the largest climate bill in human history last fall, Europe is now getting a plurality of its energy from carbon-free sources (and growing rapidly), and China's continuing to make progress too. And the reason that's all happening is because of all the people who care, who've been pushing for change this past decade.
It's not enough, but it's a huge step in the right direction-- and it's proof we can accomplish even more if we keep standing together.
that doesn’t seem right at all? I mean progress is slow because things in Europe and the US are much less centralized. But just gaving a look and compare between Europe and the US, and other countries should make you understand that things are just better. Granted not good enough but nothing is gonna happen instantly. China is another thing.
It’s still better than nothing.
airportlineI like this Lula guy
I’m starting to think he’s friends with John Mastodon.
Fuck Bolonso whatever his name is. Brazil elected a corrupt disease to humanity
Testing plz ignore
error code 777
Fuck.
Jon Von Basslakeerror, unexpected result. output was ID10T instead of test
DeadNinjaFor a moment I read that as “Defederation”, and was thinking by myself - ‘Is Amazon next in line after Meta to get defederated…’
I am dumb.
nadramNow it just needs to drop another 90% or so 😅 😅
Deforestation dropping to -56% would certainly be ideal
Holy shit, disgusting communist love fest up in here.
Could be worse, have you seen comments like “communist love”.
Government data shows marked reduction against same period last year, reversing trend of destruction during Bolsonaro reign
Be aware though, Lula da Silva is a convict corrupt and he’s being doing a lot of shady stuff. Also, he’s stance regarding Ukraine-Russia war is pretty much pro-russia disguised as a “pacifist”.
This data may very well be fake in order to make him look good.
It’s widely know that Lula’s prison sentence was unlawful? If that’s what you’re referring to. If there’s other shady shit he’s putting Brazil through than I am unaware and I’d like you to enlighten me.
Also… his stance on Ukraine-Russia is the correct stance?
The data also comes from Brazil’s national space research agency - which has been collecting data for 50 years? I wouldn’t call all of this fake? I know the US inflates some numbers and don’t see why any other country wouldn’t but claiming 34% when in reality its 15 would discredit any research agency.
Turkey is doing the same thing with the ru-ukr war. I hardly believe there is any government that works in favour of their people.
And Bolsanaro is banned from running for president for the next 8 years. Things are definitely looking up in Brazil.
Awesome news! This was really the last little spark to get me in a really positive mindset tonight!
