  • But reforresting isn't enough. Since the soil below the trees holds nearly as much carbon as the trees themselves.

    There's only about 200 people in the entire Amazon rainforrest who "prevent" deforrestation.

    Thats not hardly any enforcement at all.

  • Brazil is an Oil producing country in the same way that Venezuela is.

    "Ethanol now accounts for nearly 40 percent of Brazil's transportation fuel." This is inaccurate. Diesel accounts for over 50% of transportation fuel. Gasoline provides 26%. Ethanol, by volume, comes in at 17%. But because ethanol has lower energy content, the actual energy contribution is around 10%.
