With fires in the Amazon Rainforest and pressures for a solution to climate change rising, society\u2019s environmental outlook on the future for the next 12 years is rapidly deteriorating. In October of 2018, the <\/span>Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change<\/span><\/a> released a report that if tangible and large-scale decisions are not made in an estimated 12 years, the effects of climate change will be irreversible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite this alarming information, government officials are reluctant to make decisions reflecting this new information. Considering this added pressure to act, the rhetoric of world leaders and large corporations weigh now like they never have before.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Amazon Rainforest is a global entity. With value extending beyond South America, it produces 20 percent of the world\u2019s oxygen. Additionally, this area absorbs a significant amount of carbon dioxide, slowing the negative effects of climate change. With everything it does for the world, it is clear why this rainforest has gained the nickname \u201clungs of the planet,\u201d as <\/span>CBS<\/span><\/a> reports.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the past several years, Brazil was one of the frontrunners leading the world into a more sustainable future. Despite corrupt actions, prior presidents like, Dilma Rousseff and Luis Inacio Lula De Silva prioritized environmental actions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil\u2019s current President, takes an unorthodox stance on climate policy. He stated in an interview with the <\/span>BBC<\/span><\/a>, “It’s enough to eat a little less. You talk about environmental pollution. It’s enough to poop every other day. That will be better for the whole world.”<\/span><\/p>\n

As members of the G7 attempted to provide millions of dollars in assistance, Bolsanaro not only rejected their aid, but claimed that the French government \u201cmust apologize first\u201d for \u201cquestioning Bolsanaro\u2019s commitment to the environment,\u201d before Brazil will accept their aid. Shortly after his comments towards the French government, Bolsonaro called out French president Emmanuel Macron\u2019s wife multiple times with sexist remarks. According to <\/span>MSN<\/span><\/a>, the Brazilian populace responded apologetically.\u00a0 Some even went so far as to compare Bolsanaro to Spongebob, saying, \u201c<\/span>Sorry about our president, he\u2019s an idiot. #DesculpaBrigitte.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The rhetoric Bolsanaro posed toward Macron is only a portion of the statements he has made. In response to these notions, Bolsonaro\u2019s approval rating dropped from 39 percent to 29.4 percent over the last several months.<\/span><\/p>\n

Macron responded to a multitude of negative responses by stating, \u201cWhat can I tell you? It’s sad, but it’s sad most of all for him and for the Brazilians,\u201d as reported by French news site <\/span>France 24<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
