Michael Mann on Bill Gates: "Gates’ dismissiveness in this case wasn’t a one-off. It was part of a consistent pattern of downplaying clean energy while promoting dubious and potentially dangerous technofixes in which he is often personally invested." https://t.co/xpZ2JW0XBQ

Brazil’s biofuels boom is built on deforestation, land theft, and labour abuse — COP30 to turn its climate “leadership” into a global scandal

Pre-COP30 headlines: Deforestation in the Amazon is down! But they ignore the truth: the Amazon is still under attack! Degradation, violence, Indigenous rights violations, organised crime, and destructive projects continue!

There’s one thing you can’t deny about Bill Gates: his consistency. Year after year, the same harmful visions dressed up as ‘solutions.’ Dangerous messages & zero accountability!
Gates’s argument mirrors modern society—a false separation between human welfare and ecological stability. Poverty and disease only grow on a dying planet.

They call it the Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF), but it looks more like a Wall Street land grab. Turning forests into profit machines won’t save them, it just hands power to the same banks that helped destroy them! #COP30 #Brazil
globalwitness.org
The TFFF will channel climate finance into global markets to turn profit. Can the same financial actors driving deforestation be trusted to save our rainforests?

Rio de Janeiro can kill drug lords & innocent lives, but not the root causes of crime. Until inequality is addressed, violence will keep coming back!

Brazil: Dozens of homes burned along Amazon’s BR-319 highway! Families lost everything in what residents denounce as a violent attack tied to land conflicts. This is not “progress”, it’s destruction, silence, and impunity in the heart of the Amazon!

Colonialism has been used to justify countless injustices throughout history, from the invasion & theft of land to the exploitation of people and resources. It planted the seeds of racism, division, & inequality that still shape the world today.

Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture is celebrating the export of live native birds to the UAE, for “ornamental purposes” and zoo displays, as “economic diversification.” Exploiting wildlife isn’t diversification, it’s commodifying Brazil’s biodiversity!
