in brazil, you have bolsonaro whose objective was to destroy the amazon. and he destroyed a lot of it. even though the brazilians kicked him out, that is already gone. i think we have an existential crisis. i'm sure that you have all heard that before, i think it's very true. i think it's much worse than we thought. and i think that as a society we must must, all human societies must make these changes right now. we are out of time. i think that, i can't overstate that, and i may basically positive optimistic person. i would like to say there is hope and we can change this. i'm not so sure. i think that the main thing is that we can make ourselves aware of these problems and the interconnectedness of all this and try to make changes. i think that our political system is not very responsive. then you chairman of the energy committee and the senate whose family fortune comes from fossil fuels. like i, said the governor of ohio has declared the faa's green energy, come on. a lot of physics and biology don't matter to these people. i'm not so sure what the ans

i bolger bolsonaro is at cpac today getting raucous applause. and and i think that that the real concern you i think that there are some good things that happened in the midterms which we can all agree right up the most egregious election deniers lost across the board every one of them. so there is a big middle that is holding. now, the problem with that, though, is, you know, one economic downturn, one outs that one event outside, you know, outside event, one one. some people predict. and a bunch of these folks, you know, get swept in as they did in 2010 or 2016. you you have to guard against that. right. but so then what happen if that group swept sweeps in and i that what we've seen is that we have a big middle in this country that doesn't want that people that might be temperamentally wall street journal republican types that are not going to support these folks they're not a big crowd but they're big enough to matter and then think we have this other group that if they got in you know i think would try and we have seen and red states anti-d

over after four years of very destructive policies in the amazon from the previous president jair bolsonaroactively encouraged illegal mining, illegal farming, land grabbing and so on. so munar is playing a leadership role. he wants it leadership role. brazil, after all, has the biggest share of the amazon, but for none of these countries is it easy to take a 100% stand in favour of the amazon. they have to deal with their internal issues as well. they have to deal with climate deniers within their own countries, and people who believe in oil drilling and oil exploration. venezuela depends on all of that , mostly of sure. so it is a question of juggling all of these different interests, coming up with a declaration which states certain things. and one of the things i think it will say is to criticize the protectionism of european countries and also say where's the money, where's all the money which is promised? $100 billion to developing countries for protecting the climate. adrian: bram, as jan was saying, lula has pledged to eliminate illegal deforestation by 2030, as has president petro
