    Hopefully they actually follow through on their commitment in contrast to most other countries and their climate promises…

      Didn’t they elect the equivalent of Trump on their country? Or has that changed?

      I’m rather pessimistic.

        Are you talking about Bolsonaro? He lost his re election and ran from the country after he tried his own trump style insurrection and is now hiding in florida

        They now have a leftist government who actually cares about the planet and people

          Yes I know. I haven’t been following Brazil’s politics in a while and thought Bolsonaro was still in power.
