The criticism of this news is needlessly toxic. Maybe Hamas won’t accept the offer, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a genuine attempt to save some children’s lives.
If he’s really ready to go through with it, it’s not an empty offer?
And he’s willing to exchange places with the knowledge that it may result in his death. That’s more than the majority of people in this community would likely do.
If the rate of 57% less each year remains constant, we’re down to 10.6% after 4 years, and 1.11% after 8 years. So logging could pretty much stop this decade. Again unrealistic, since first chunks are always easier than last bits. Just trying to highlight how much this is.
This is great news. Anyone with Brazilian connections want to comment on whether this is because of Lula? I’m inclined to think so but I don’t live there.
Short answer, yes. Long answer would be mostly due to the environment minister not being the one nicknamed “Mr. Chainsaw”, and instead is one of the most respected and accomplished environmentalists in the world.
I was going to ask if the appointments are based on the elected government/party for further elaboration, but thought that would be lazy so did a bit of research.
So yeah, she’s Marina Silva. Lula’s cabinet’s minister of environment and climate change.

That’s such a relief to hear, thanks for sharing.
I just glanced over her Wiki and am happy to see she’s a person with a cause, rooted in civil rights and passion.
One of the occupational hazards of being a hitman is that your client who hired you will have you killed after you perform your services in order to silence you.
Maybe, but much less likely. They’re probably foot soldiers and their orders came from their own gangs leadership, and not those responsible for ordering the assininatons. So that specific chain has effectively been broken.
