Wow. Only looking at it all these (20?) years later I realize what a great job he did of that song.

“How can you argue against an idea that is designed to help an ecosystem?”

Let’s see what I told firts:

“What Sting know about Brazilian indians?

Stupid music based on ignorance.”

There is nothing againt enviroment on that. I’m not telling “burn the trees..”

This vídeo attacks whitout distiction, industry, dams, farmers in Amazon and of course our racial relations. Everything. Even "industries" that are following the environmental law. All we do in amazon is considered “deforestation”.

This is dangerous information based on errors.

Let me see if I understood you...

You keep digging everywhere searching for oil,right?

UK, FRANCE and of course US and CHINA are going to produce all gases you desire in our planet. “us”, Brazilians (in Amazon area) are going to clean your mess? Because we are the “lungs” of the earth? This give you the right to be the “cigar” of the world?

@megjopol

Let me tell you other “lies”

COP 16 the (UN reunion about climatic changes) was a big fat failure because peolpe are always trying to change the enviromental laws in other coutries. Never at their own “home”. Here you can understand UK, France, CHINA and US. The accord was 2%. Just 2%!

With this we can understand: “we won’t stop burning oil and coal”.

There are wars about oil in world right now...

“Farms here. jungles there.”

There is a politic called “farms here. jungles there”. This was made in order to keep at bay big agricultural countries like Argentina or Brazil.

@megjopol

Even when the agricultural production is far from jungles like in São Paulo, Minas Gerais or Goias, there is a "protection of enviroment" (protection or subsides to European farmers.). Protection against countries with large agricultural productions.

This is so true that in the last gathering between Eurozone and Mercosur was a faillure.

You know other countries? Good! I never told nothing against that. But you don’t know my country as I do. I lived in 12 diferent brazilians States. 4 in Amazon. I know my country well. Brazil is almost half of South-America continent, Roraima where Yanomamis are living is Just a little part.
