I really wonder about how educated people justifies bringing a child into this world. Brazil have more 3.5 years of the current administration and things won't get better because their plataform is all about pleasing the pecuary lobby.
Well, you need educated people to deal with the problems caused by global warming, including finding new clean energy sources and carbon sequestration. If the educated people don't have kids, then that leaves people who don't value education as much, without others who can inspire them and their families to get an education.
You're correct, but I was thinking more about the emotional decision of "OK, I will raise children into this current scenario that is rapidly approaching beyond reparation.".
It’s a sad state of affairs for Brazil. Electing a right winged, ill equipped, ignorant nobody in order to remove the most corrupt political party in the history of Brazil.
From the article:
>>As of August 16, 2019, an analysis of NASA satellite data indicated that total fire activity across the Amazon basin this year has been close to the average in comparison to the past 15 years. (The Amazon spreads across Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and parts of other countries.)
I am getting the impression that the BBC doesn't trust NASA. Is this part of the current administration's war on science? Is the world blowing this out of proportion? I don't know what will happen if NASA isn't a respected scientific institution any more. How does anyone know what is actually going on in the world?
I tend to believe what NASA says, I still think all the publicity this is getting will make the world a better place. We can not have a big enough carbon sink.
Everyone has an agenda and the news is trying get clicks, so they sensationalize everything.

I know guys that take the full condom home.
"The US space agency, Nasa, has on the other hand said that overall fire activity in the Amazon basin is slightly below average this year. " https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-49443389
