If you have read a newspaper recently you most probably read about | |
the wild fires destroying parts of the Amazon forest in Brazil. | |
The amount of fake news going around is amazing. | |
Having a rational conversation about the topic of exploring the | |
Amazon is impossible these days. | |
Yes, destroying the whole Amazon would be a disaster. | |
But preserving it all at the cost of the Brazilian economy is also | |
one. | |
Yes, we need to be careful about the impact of deforestation. | |
But forcing developing countries on "green agenda" is a known | |
strategy by developed countries to maintain control and hegemony. | |
We need to find a middle ground. | |
No one wants middle grounds these days. It's all or nothing. |
