Now, That's What I Call Talking the Talk!

The Earth's climate is very dependent on the Amazon rainforest. There is considerable concern about deforestation (much of it illegal) occurring in this area. Brazil's President Bolsonaro promised at the virtual summit on Earth Day to double his country's budget for environmental protection (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/24/bolsonaro-slashes-brazils-environment-budget-day-after-climate-talks-pledge). Bolsonaro's pledge was met with praise. The following day, he approved a 24% cut in the environmental budget, for 2021. A deficit in short-term memory or something much worse?
