Both believe that solving climate change would impede the ability to profit from exploiting natural resources.<\/p>\n<p>This bedrock \u201cme-first\u201d provincialism isn\u2019t just based on generic ignorance. It ignores the fact that we all share a single planet and increasingly, things that happen in one place affect other places \u2013 ecologically and economically.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Carbon pollution from coal-fired power plants in the United States is contributing to rising temperatures and extreme droughts and floods in the Amazon. Deforestation in the Amazon pours carbon into everyone\u2019s atmosphere and changes rainfall regimes globally.<\/p>\n<p>Pretending that unsustainable economic growth is all benefit and no cost \u2013 or that the shift to sustainability is all cost and no benefit \u2013 is a recipe for ecological disaster and economic ruin. With his anti-environment platform, Bolsonaro could take Brazil in this direction.<\/p>\n<div class=\"simplePullQuote right\"><p>Bolsonaro could take Brazil in the direction of ecological disaster and economic ruin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Brazil\u2019s environmental challenges<\/strong><br \/>\nBolsonaro has said he\u2019ll close the environment ministry, subordinate federal environmental agencies to the agriculture ministry (controlled by agribusiness), and open up indigenous territories to mining and agriculture. Modeling predicts that these actions would <a href=\"https:\/\/sustentabilidade.estadao.com.br\/blogs\/ambiente-se\/cientistas-estimam-que-desmatamento-da-amazonia-pode-triplicar-em-cenario-bolsonaro\/\">triple current deforestation rates<\/a>, to a thundering 25,000 km\u00b2 a year.<\/p>\n<p>Climate and forest scientists have long known that the Amazon produces about half of the rain that falls in the region, by cycling water from the soil through the trees and back to the atmosphere. Scientists have also long understood that climate change, deforestation and widespread use of fire to remove forest combine to make forests hotter and more fire-prone.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond a certain \u201ctipping point\u201d in the Amazon, these large-scale transformations will turn rainforests into savanna and release massive amounts of carbon emissions. (Leading scientists estimate the <a href=\"http:\/\/advances.sciencemag.org\/content\/4\/2\/eaat2340.full\">tipping point will occur when 20% to 25%<\/a> of the Amazon has been deforested; right now, that number is at 19%.) Savannization of southern and eastern Amazon would affect rainfall \u2013 and agriculture \u2013 in southern Brazil as well as the Amazon itself, as well as the reservoirs supplying S\u00e3o Paulo and Bras\u00edlia, already subject to alarming droughts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>International and economic isolation<\/strong><br \/>\nBolsonaro has floated, and then walked back, the idea of withdrawing Brazil from the Paris Agreement. Leaving the Paris Agreement would isolate Brazil, and not only diplomatically. French President Emanuel Macron has suggested that countries not in the Paris Agreement be excluded from trade agreements. It could jeopardize trade talks between the European Union and Mercosur, a South American trade bloc.<\/p>\n<p>Slash-and-burn policy in the Amazon will also shut Brazil out of important emerging environmental markets \u2013 including new carbon and biofuels markets under the Paris Agreement, and the International Civil Aviation Organization.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the world\u2019s biggest commodity traders and retailers have committed to zero deforestation supply chains, responding to consumer demand. Returning to massive deforestation could come back to bite Brazilian agriculture in the pocketbook.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Glimmer of hope<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the absence of federal leadership, companies with deforestation-free supply chain commitments can continue leading efforts to fight deforestation and engage in sustainable agriculture, proving that economic growth and thriving forests can go hand-in-hand.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Bolsonaro and people around him are already signaling that he could walk back over-the-top anti-environmental threats. It will be a very good thing for Brazil, and the planet, if some of those people turn out to be less provincial than Bolsonaro. But, just as in the United States, we can expect a long, hard defensive fight.<\/p>\n<p>EDF will continue to stand with our partners in the Amazon, nationally and internationally to defend the rainforests and its peoples, and combat climate change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jair Bolsonaro, the winner of Brazil\u2019s presidential election, has been dubbed \u201cTropical Trump.\u201d The parallels are strong \u2013 both Bolsonaro and US President Donald Trump show clear contempt for democratic institutions, are on the record with racist and misogynist statements, and play on and inflame the fears and hatred of their supporters.
