The Amazon the largest lung in our world is on fire😭.
It's time for humanity to stop & think seriously about what it is doing🤨.
Is this our legacy for future generations😠?
Is money more important than conserving nature😡?
🗣️We need the forests to survive.

Why are fire numbers so bad this year? Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has enabled groups that seek to exploit the Amazon rainforest by incentivizing deforestation. Deforestation has risen under his “watch”

President Bolsanaro also rejects and questions data from his own country’s environmental scientists and sacks those who disagree with him

1/ It cannot be exaggerated what a threat to the planet Jair Bolsonaro is. By @washingtonpost:“Huge tracts of the Amazon,which serves as the lungs of the planet by taking in carbon dioxide,storing it in soils & producing oxygen, are ablaze”
washingtonpost.com/weather/2019/0…
Via @ggreenwald
2/ The cause isn't in doubt:“INPE tracks deforestation in Brazil & its data has shown a huge increase in the Amazon this year. In early August,INPE found 1,330 square miles of rainforest had been lost since January alone, which is a rate 40% higher than in 2018.”
Via @ggreenwald
3/ Shown by the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, "the fires have led to a clear spike in carbon monoxide emissions as well as planet-warming carbon dioxide emissions, posing a threat to human health and aggravating global warming."
Via @ggreenwald
4/ This satellite image from @NASA has horrified Brazil and the world. It’s a potent omen of what Bolsonaro is doing to the world:
Via @ggreenwald
5/ Yesterday,as pressure grew,Bolsonaro claimed the fires were started by environmental groups.That got Intern. coverage. What many don’t know is 3 weeks ago, Bolsonaro fired a key scientist for warning - w data- of exploding deforestation:

6/ It’s well-known that Bolsonaro’sPoliticalCoalition relies on ReligiousFanatics & supporters of a reversion to the country's MilitaryDictatorship. But as important is the country’s ToxicAgro-Industry,which is GettingEverything it wants &+

Pentagon's Tower 22 'logistics support base' is secretly drone base

What was described by the Pentagon as a "logistics support base" turns out to be a secret drone base for long-range surveillance of fighters in neighboring Syria and Iraq and for conducting airstrikes. Image
Talking to The Intercept, an Air Force airman, whose unit was recently stationed at the base, said, “To call Tower 22 a logistics support base is complete bullshit,” as logistics was only a minor part - or a disguise - to merely deliver food and fuel to the nearby al-Tanf base. Image
“The main purpose of Tower 22 is to operate drones to spy on insurgents in Iraq and Syria, for targeting purposes,” the airman added, noting, “The main objective I witnessed was taking out targets.”
