Send the bill to Maduro.
And I want a naked supermodel to show up on my doorstep.
What? I’m not being any more unreasonable than they are.
I awoke to this. I deserve compensation.
Pay ME for all that wonderful carbon I work so hard to put in the air that makes your forests so thick and beautiful.
or we could stop buying what ever Junk they make
Thanks, Jorge.
***rich nations be compelled to indemnify them for environmental damage caused in the so-called “lung of the planet.” **
Shakedown. Remember the 1970s and the failed trans-Amazon highway? Before they could complete the next section of it, the rain forest had reclaimed the paved sections. It is nothing but a mud track through parts of the jungle now.
Rich countries? How about going after the ones that pollute the most? Good luck getting “compensation” from the Chinese!
Some things such as oxygen in the air, wind, and rainfall, are material goods, but insofar that they come to us automatically, without any need for labor or effort by humans, to cause their existence or our benefit from them, they are free goods and are outside the domain of economic activity and of economics.
Man these Amazonians are becoming a real pain in the ass
And the masses just love the tech brought to them in every day life
We all want Brazil to stop being the moral cesspit of the world but that aint gonna happen either.
Kansas winter wheat and milo converts more CO2 into oxygen than the Amazon rain forest so they can just pound sand in their bleached assholes as far as I care.
Latin Americans are enamored of socialism. They yell and scream and riot for it and when they get it and it fails, as it always does, they yell and scream for more. And when it fails again they pick themselves up and they come stampeding here with an arrogant and pugnacious sense of entitlement as if we had something to do with their poor decisions.
I suggest they stand on a corner in a nice neighborhood with a bucket and a squeegee.

The problem is that if the Dems take over the U.S. Government, they would write off the 30 billion as a down payment, and negotiate away trillions to third world despot leaders that will get into the coffers of Soros and effectively end our constitutional Republic, which will then trigger the destruction of democratic principles worldwide.
I go out and cut down a bunch of trees in my back yard to plant a garden, and I sell the trees to you for lumber ...
... and I expect you to take me seriously when I come back 20 years later and demand that you PAY ME AGAIN to compensate me for cutting down my trees?
All I want is a live in massage therapist for my bad back.
