I have, i have literally complained that this earth is fucked because americans half ass solutions to problems. I am american. I want us to live as a country in discomfort for saving the planet.

I would shrink, i would destroy our economy if it meant saving the planet, if necessary.

Truly you don’t really know who you’re talking to, if science says chopping down the amazon is catastrophic to earth, then yea, even poor people trying to make a living can be bad people.

Who gives a fuck about my economy or yours. This earth is dying.

Thier entire argument is "you got yours so I deserve to get mine" without acknowledging what "getting yours" really means. We destroyed our natural environment to "make a living" and now our shit is gone and the next people to fill our shoes will have nothing left to take. The people of the Amazon still have something left to preserve for their future and this guy is whining because he needs to pursue a life of greed to feel like the score is even. News Flash Brazilians, you still have time to protect your future, we don't. We get to sit in our slowly spiraling neo-fuedal greed pile of a society slowly tearing ourselves apart and look at photos of what we used to have. You still have forests and millions of acres of beautiful landscapes filled with incredible biodiversity and life. I get to feel excited when I see a possum or raccoon because there are so few animals left here. Make a living doing something that helps the Earth so that your children's children's children can look at us all and laugh at our stupidy rather than not live at all

Literally our coasts are fucked, where i live will be flooded in 50 years. Uninhabitable.

The earth is fucked, i’m tired of people that think because we got to fuck ourselves, that it’s okay for them to fuck where they live.

And why? Because we’re american. Seemingly we don’t get to complain about their nation doing wrong, but everyone gets to complain about america!

Brazil doesn’t get to cut down a vital forrest to the planet, affecting neighboring countries and the world with 0 criticism.
