Is this yet another example of the MSM "reluctantly" backing Trump?

I really should find all my posts on this theory (which I originally made before they started actually doing it) and make a thread devoted entirely to that.

What’s Going On in the Amazon?

A crisis decades in the making.

Quote:

The emails started arriving last week.

“I’ve been waiting to hear about the fires in the Amazon,” wrote Molly Krause, a listener in Aurora, Colo. “It’s a huge problem that is not getting adequate attention. Can you please do an episode to shed light on what is going on?”

What began as a handful of requests became a kind of collective plea.

“I’ve been preoccupied with the fires ravaging the Amazon, and I can’t help but sense they have gone underreported in the American media,” wrote Mike Rusie from Wilmington, Del. “My father, for example, scoffed at the matter and implied that they weren’t a big deal.”

We, too, wanted to better understand the fires in the Amazon. Social media had portrayed them, in flashing red lights, as a singular global crisis. Times reporting had put them in deeper historical perspective. After assessing the gap between those two portrayals, we realized there was a chance to make an episode that would answer a simple question: What was really going on down there?

Producers Clare Toeniskoetter and Michael Simon Johnson began digging into the story with Ernesto Londoño, the Brazil bureau chief. What they found was that the modern history of the Amazon was one of constant tension — between conservation and development; between international pressure to protect the rainforest and Brazilians who believe it’s their resource to use as they please.

None of that began with this year’s fires. And, as Ernesto explained, the scale of the fires was not entirely unique.

“What was different this year,” he told us, “is you had all these alarming and widely shared posts on social media, some of which were using pictures that were many, many years old that weren’t really an accurate reflection of what was happening on the ground.”

But it turned out, of course, that there is a crisis. It’s just not exactly the crisis many were reading about on Twitter and Facebook. It is a crisis of a decades-long battle over the Amazon as a source of oxygen versus a source of income, and of a new president in Brazil who ran his campaign on it being the latter.



They managed not to even utter the T word in this one.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

USDA Scientist Quits, Claims Trump Administration Tried To Bury His Climate Study

A top climate scientist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture has resigned in protest of what he describes as the Trump administration’s efforts to censor and suppress climate science.

In a Politico article published Monday, Lewis Ziska, a plant physiologist with more than two decades of experience working for USDA’s Agricultural Research Service, said he decided to quit after department officials tried to bury a paper he wrote on how rice is losing nutrients because of rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.




I wish these decent people would stop QUITTING. I know, hard, maybe even wrong for me to judge, but it sure seems like a lot of them just walk away.



Donald Trump Mocks 16-year-old Greta Thunberg, Twitter Reacts: 'She Has More Class in Her Little Finger'

"This is all wrong. I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean," Thunberg told the U.N.

"Yet you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you? You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. And yet, I'm one of the lucky ones.

Still, we have a new generation of leaders who are stepping up.

Haha... Classic Trump.



If I were her, I'd be more worried about being raped by a stray Muslim her leaders let in without doing background checks. Statistically speaking, she has a much higher chance of that happening in Sweeden than the end of the world happening in her lifetime.
