Brazil is considered the fourth biggest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, 75 percent of which come from deforestation.

“Gimme a billion dollars or this rainforest gets it!”
Given its solid economy and huge energy reserves, I’m pretty sure Brazil could save the rainforest on its own...but why bother when European fools are willing to pay your bills for you? ;)
That is a lotta money, why not just buy the rainforest and put a big wall around it?
They should have listened to “Getting Gay With Kids”:
Doo-doo-doo, da-da-do-do-wow!
There’s a place called the rainforest that truly sucks ass
Let’s knock it all down and get rid of it fast
You say ‘save the rainforest’, but what do you know?
You’ve never been to the rainforest before!
Getting Gay with Kids is here
To tell you things you might not like to hear
You only fight these causes ‘cos caring sells
All you activists can go f-— yourselves.
Someday if we work hard boys and girls..
There’ll be no more rainforests left in the entire world..
Getting Gay with Kids is here
To spread the word, and bring you cheer
Getting Gay with Kids is here
Lets knock down the rainforest, whaddaya say?
It’s totally gay, It’s totally gay!

If Norway wants to plant more trees, I could plant a few thousand seedlings for them.
And there are more songs about jungles than about rain forests.
...or this rainforest gets it...
leave the rainforest...bring the cannoli
this will be the biggest waste of money in Norwegian history...
Maybe. This could be a calculated move to deflect criticism for being an oil exporter. If the billion is a one-time donation then that could be a cheap means of gaining Norway its good world citizen gold star.
Politicians may be ideologues but they are also a cynical lot.
Politicians may be ideologues but they are also a cynical lot. i heard that...
Young trees consume CO2, older trees emit more CO2 than they consume. Ergo, cut the damn rain forest down.
George of the Rain Forest just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Spending billions on deep sub-sea road tunnels to tiny islands with populations in the hundreds must run it close. But hey, Norway has billions to burn so let them burn away...
Wouldn’t it be easier to sell some lumber and bananas and raise $10 billion?
How about "...lets bungle, in the rain forest"
Nope, that doesn't work either
