BRASILIA (Reuters) - The world cannot meet its climate goal to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degree Celsius unless it protects the Amazon rainforest, climate envoy John Kerry said in Brazil on Tuesday while discussing possible U.S. funding for jungle conservation.
"The truth is that unless the Amazon is protected from those who would deforest it and who abuse it, we cannot keep the temperature to 1.5 degrees (Celsius)," Kerry said, referring to the climate target in the Paris Agreement.
Kerry said the U.S. Senate is considering a bill with $4.5 billion in funding for forest conservation, while the House of Representatives is studying a proposal with $9 billion.
But, Kerry said the administration "will have to fight" to get those proposals through Congress.

When is the American regime going to quit messing with what does not belong to us or them?
It’s simple, if you want to fix climate change have McDonald’s bring back Mayor McCheese, Grimace and The Hamburgler.
Assuming arguendo that man-made global warm exists and can be contained, why is it that we have to spend billions of dollars in the Amazon to undo the damage done by China even as we invest hundreds of billions of dollars in China that finance that damage?
Doo-doo-doo, za-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 (world!)
Getting Gay with Kids is here
To spread the word, and bring you cheer
Getting Gay with Kids is here
Let’s knock down the rainforest, whaddaya say?
It’s totally gay
It’s totally gay!
Each year, the Rainforest is responsible for over three thousand deaths from accidents, attacks or illnesses. There are over seven hundred things in the Rainforest that cause cancer. Join the fight now and help stop the Rainforest before it’s too late.

The Amazon is not a Green House Gas sink its cracked up to be, according to AGW theory. All the Organic matter there eventually dies and releases Methane, which according to the true beleivers and their propaganda is 14X worse than C02 (its one of the reasons “gas stoves need to be banned).
Cutting Down the trees and turning them into nice houses would sequester the Carbon for hundreds of years.
If THEY push harder on people and places over which they have no direct control we will more quickly either see them fail … or expose themselves as the brutal bullys that they seem to want to be.
Deep in the Amazon jungle was the secret locale of the lucrative manufacture of drugs that sell to the world. Could very well be that this claim of being able to protect the rainforests is one more facade for getting in on the action.
So far that hasn’t happened. We can pray that people will wake up and throw them out. They are very sneaky and they never quit or take a break from their desire to bully, control, and dominate.
Of course that awful goal is easier when you can wrap the force of the US government around you.
Yet, these same assets have no problem destroying the rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo to rape the planet for the Cobalt needed for their China-profitting EV batteries
Maybe Kerry should speak with his colleagues at Stanford who just declared that we will surpass the 1.5*C limit no matter what we do! These morons think we’re stupid!
But will Amazon still have free shipping?
it’s none of John Kerry’s business what Brazil does with its forested land, any more than we should allow Brazil to tell us if we are allowed to cut our trees down (which we have done many times already and they grew back)
Well, now that the Brazilian election was fixed and the chosen candidate installed, it’s time to announce that the Amazon must be protected for the world’s climate goals so money can start flowing there (and back to the politicians who sent it there).
How confident are you that they are wrong?
Wherever John K. Heinz and Algore speak, there should be list handed out of all their climate predictions over the years.
Communists are really good at solving fake problems but not so good at real ones.
Typical international communism: all must obey, or we all die.
But they are cutting down the trees to make wind mill blades.
