	I don't have the time or patience to engage, but for the ones that don't have a side in Brazilian politics, the Amazon should be fine. Bolsonaro is a fool with words, but has shown to be well intended. He'll probably come around on this particular issue (as it has already happened a few times during his government).

Then why start?

> Bolsonaro is a fool with words

On politics, I never saw a fool whose problem are just words. He is authentic, the real deal, dumb all through.

"don't pay attention to what he says or does, just have blind faith that he'll be great!"

I actually meant the exact opposite of that. Stop reading headlines and start looking at what is being done.

Which is exactly what in this case, considering the increase in logging is happening under his government?

Unfortunately for the rest of humanity, the 1000sqm of forest removed last month will not come back around as easily.

He’s been dubbed the Trump of the tropics. Similar political leanings. The environment is not a priority.

No his government is one of the most extreme right-wing ones around. I don't think he'll come around.

Following Bolsonaro is another place to apply the Maddow Rule: ignore what they say, pay attention to what they do.
