The Amazon effect: how deforestation is starving São Paulo of water. It is one of three mega-projects that will together cost close to R$3bn (£695m) - a huge chunk of Sapesb's budget - but should provide enough extra back-up capacity to withstand a drought as bad as the one that hit two years ago.

You and yours should thank me. If it wasn't for my and mine's interference, the burnt area burnt would be threefold. I'm not asking for forgiveness! If Brazil elected an idiot to rule, do you expect me to commit suicide?

Aug 22nd, 2019 - 02:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yeah, why would you want to take lessons from prosperous and successful countries? There's plenty of poor and miserable authoritarian states you can use as role models.

Do you know what the problem is, Terrence? Europe and North America want to be the good guys in history. After having supported and funded a Nazi to rule my country, did they want the South American Hitler to be quiet in the corner? It is the fault of European and North American voices who always seek their own interests. Good thing humanity is changing ...
