baraitalo ::: Favorites Have all of you who speak Portuguese seen the thread on the Brazilian version of this vid? It's full of the most UNBELIEVABLE prejudice, racism and ethnocentric rubbish. Worth a read, though, and a few comments. 07-09-05 15:34:17 __________________________________________________
redpoppy56 ::: Favorites No Baraitalo. Just because evidence has been sent it does not mean brazilian law is working. Firstly this situation should never have happened to begin with. Secondly the law will only be proved to be working when Greenpeace and international journalists are able to FREELY return and move within Brazil without fearing for their lives and without intimidation. When this happens then you may say the law has worked - which I very much hope will be the case. 07-09-04 11:58:20 __________________________________________________
redpoppy56 ::: Favorites I agree with you that wasting and using too much energy in developed countries urgently needs action and change. And many countries and individuals are trying to do just that. Anything is possible if we work together. Please stop making this an argument between Brazil V The rest of World. Its about protecting our environment and freedom of press. 07-09-04 11:49:42 __________________________________________________
redpoppy56 ::: Favorites The kyoto protocol has been in place for some time. I believe at the last count over 170 countries have ratified it. No it's not perfect,for sure there is still a long way to go. Especially with the USA who is by far has the largest ecofootprint but hasn't ratified KP yet. However at the moment KP isn't enough. If it were then maybe Greenpeace and others wouldn't need to be in Brazil? 07-09-04 11:43:14 __________________________________________________
brasilianensis ::: Favorites To protect the rainforest there is the Kyoto Protocol. Why has it not been put in place yet? It is not Brazil tha's stopping it. As for Climate change, a good start would be to try and lower consumism in yodeveloped countries. Is it possible? 07-09-04 10:15:23 __________________________________________________
baraitalo ::: Favorites also, OPAN and Greenpeace have already requested an official enquiry, and handed over digital image (pics and vids) and this has been sent from the procurator in cuiabá to the federal authorities. hence it is clear that brazilian law IS working. 07-09-04 07:24:49 __________________________________________________
redpoppy56 ::: Favorites I agree with you. Most countries, including mine (the UK) has problems with the media reporting the truth and indeed the Government on many subjects, including the Iraq war, nuclear defence and power, GM crops. All these subjects have international interest whether it be in your country or mine. If the UK was home to the last fresh water I would expect you in Brazil to have something to say about it. 07-09-04 07:12:35 __________________________________________________
