RE: Lungs Of The World In Danger
@redheadpei - so sad that the fires in Amazon are not even a major news story. And the Brazilian president TURNED DOWN aid? What is up with that. Things are dire.

It all seems unbelievable. The last I heard was Brazil's president has appeared to backtrack on his refusal to accept $20 million in G7 aid to help fight the Amazon fires, saying he would consider accepting the money if French President Emmanuel Macron were to apologize for calling him rude.
President Jair Bolsonaro refused the money in a Monday tweet, saying the G7's offer of help to "save" the Amazon made Brazil seem "as if we were a colony or no man's land."
The fire is burning the amount of about 3 football fields a minute. I can’t believe a president would put his hurt pride before saving something so important.
That's absolutely horrendous and ludicrous! But I could see the same thing happening in our country.
