The Amazon is rich, so rich that you can find gold by
sticking your hand in the ground. It is home to the greatest diversity of
animals and plants on the planet, the most important rainforest of all. In
addition, it is the largest aerial river, the evaporation of plants irrigates
all of South America, a stretch of Africa and a stretch of Australia, as the
wind currents carry evaporation and gases produced by the Amazon to other
places. Without the Amazon, the desertification process takes over many parts
of the world. It is vital for the good of the planet that we take care of the
forest and yet, the Bolsonaro government is doing everything it can to deforest
as much of this area that should be preserved as possible.
São Paulo, August 19, 2019, at 3 pm the sky darkened.
Suddenly, in the middle of the afternoon, it was night. The black clouds that
covered the sunlight were actually smoke from the Amazon being destroyed, the
smoke was blown away and covered the city. On the way, several places suffered
from an intense smell of soot.
Bolsonaro's political campaign was financed by the Brazilian
financial elite. Part of this elite is made up of agricultural billionaires,
earning money from cattle, selling food to the entire planet. They need more
and more space for their cattle breeding and for that they have been
deforesting the Amazon since Brazil has existed. Bolsonaro always promised to
put an end to environmental inspections, he promised that there would no longer
be demarcated land for indigenous people to take care of, that everything would
be used and sold. As I said, there is gold and minerals in the Amazon, so some
of the elite also want to explore all of that before turning the now poor land
into a field for cattle to feed on.
The agency that identified high burning in the Amazon
denounced the increase in cases and its director was dismissed. The agency
responsible for fighting the fires has lost funding, it has no money left to
fight the destruction. Since then, every month that passes deforestation
reaches a new historical record. With each passing month the environment is
more destroyed and the future of humanity is more threatened. Do you understand
why I say Bolsonaro is killing you and your family too? Imagine the future of
the planet if the Amazon is destroyed. Bolsonaro is ending the world.
This is Ricardo Salles, minister of the environment. He's
supposed to take care of the Amazon but it's a huge threat to our future. A
private meeting between Bolsonaro and his ministers had its video leaked, at
that meeting Ricardo Salles said that they should take advantage of the fact
that the country was distracted by the pandemic to pass laws that facilitate
the destruction of the environment. The guy who should care the most about
preservation is the one who wants to destroy the most, and they're getting
through with their plans. We are too concerned about the genocide that
Bolsonaro is carrying out, it is impossible to pay attention to so much
disgrace at the same time. Brazil has never been so unequal, there are millions
of people dying of hunger, crime has increased too much and every day thousands
die because of the covid pandemic. Bolsonaro refuses to buy vaccine and wants
people to take chloroquine, which he says is a gift from God to control the
pandemic and has spent the vaccine money on producing a drug that doesn't work.
I give more details about this in the video about the Pandemic and Bolsonaro
here on the channel, please watch.
