#UN #climate talks fizzle out 10 yrs after #ParisAccord
Nearly 200 countries reached a weak agreement Saturday at the United Nations climate talks in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest. The deal represents a win for the #oil, #gas & #coal industries because it makes NO MENTION of curtailing the use of #FossilFuels, the main drivers of #ClimateChange.
#Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio #Lula da Silva, with the support of about half the countries, had pushed for a road map for ending the use of #oil, #gas & #coal.
#Trump, who is withdrawing the #UnitedStates from the #ParisAgreement, refused to send negotiators to the event. Even without the Trump admin present to champion #FossilFuel interests, the measure faced stiff opposition.

one thing #Lula, the current president of #Brasil, did in his first term in the aughts was to create a ministry of #technology.
the new minister is asked his "To Do" list. one to-do: get rid of Microsoft products & use FLOSS across govt. he described Gates as a crack dealer: first free to hook you for life. he considered that a national security risk.
MS sued for defamation and lost. today Brasil is one of the largest adopters of FLOSS. MS keeps proving he's right 👇🏾

#Brazil President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva criticized the latest #US #military strikes against suspected drug smugglers off the coast of #SouthAmerica.
"If this becomes the norm, everyone will believe they can invade another country's territory to do whatever they want," #Lula said on Friday during a trip to Indonesia, acc/to TV Globo. "Where does that leave respect for the #sovereignty of countries?"
Lula could meet #Trump on Sunday at the ASEAN summit in Malaysia.

"At 9:23 a.m. on Nov. 9.[2022], 10 days after Mr. #Bolsonaro’s defeat, a document, later found on a cellphone seized by investigators, was created at the presidential offices. It sketched out an extreme plan calling for the “extinction of the winning ticket.”
Mr. #Lula and his running mate, Geraldo #Alckmin, would be #assassinated using “poison or chemical agents” or “lethal weaponry, such as explosives,” said the document…"

No One Is Defying #Trump Like Brazil’s President
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of #Brazil during an interview with The New York Times on Tuesday at the Alvorada Palace in Brasília.
Faced with threats of 50% #tariffs & demands to end a #criminal case, President Luiz Inácio #Lula da Silva said he wouldn’t take orders from Trump.

#Trump has called the case a “witch hunt” & wants it dropped. #Lula said that was not up for negotiation. “Maybe he doesn’t know that here in #Brazil, the #judiciary is #independent,” he said.
In the interview, Lula said that the American president is infringing on Brazil’s #sovereignty.
“At no point will #Brazil negotiate as if it were a small country up against a big country,” #Lula said. “We know the economic power of the #UnitedStates, we recognize the military power of the United States, we recognize the technological size of the United States.”
“But that doesn’t make us afraid,” he added. “It makes us concerned.”
There is perhaps no world leader defying #Trump as strongly as Lula.
#Lula granted his first interview to The NYT in 13 years on Tuesday, in part because he wanted to speak to the American people about his frustration with #Trump [we totally get it].
Trump has said that, starting on Friday, he plans to impose 50% #tariffs on Brazilian goods, in large part because Brazilian authorities have charged former President Jair #Bolsonaro with trying to hold on to #power after losing the 2022 election. [inspired by Trump 2020]

President Luiz Inácio #Lula da Silva of #Brazil is outraged.
#Trump is trying to push around his nation of 200 million, dangling 50% #tariffs as a #threat, Lula said in an interview. And yet, he added, the #US president is ignoring his government’s offers to talk.
“Be sure that we are treating this with the utmost seriousness. But seriousness does not require #subservience,” Lula said. “I treat everyone with great respect. But I want to be treated with #respect.”
