"Is the forest burning?" "No burning."
And have you been following along with the troubles in the “lungs of the earth?” Of course you have. Of course you know that the Amazon is burning thanks to either a relaxation of restrictions from Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro, record heat or, as President Bosonaro claimed, non-governmental workers frustrated that their wages have cut and are taking it out on the rainforest.
All news outlets report that fires in the Amazon are up over 80% compared with last year. Many fires. Many many fires. Or are there?
Two days ago, professional longboarder Joel Tudor posted a video on his very entertaining Instagram account featuring a Brazilian jiu-jitsu aficionado and a one-time director of sports from the Amazon region.

The BJJ aficionado introduces his friend then asks, “Is the Amazon burning?”
The one-time director of sports answers, “No burning.”
The two go on to profess much support for President Jair Bolsonaro claiming that the only thing burning are the hearts and consciences of those disrespecting him.
Joel Tudor captions the post “Don’t believe the hype!”
So, is the rainforest really not burning?
Have we been scammed?
Help!
Joel Tudor’s brain is burning…
Judging by the IG comments, these idiots like joel tudor are on an island by themselves. Can we ship the dotards there too?
Scott and glitchy, split!
Thanks for not mentioning. I don’t know if it will help, but it certainly won’t hurt. I live up the hill from GHB and this place is a shit show on summer weekends.
Did you mean 9/11/01?
Really good waves that day.
The swell was the only reason I wasn’t on the turnpike in northern jerse y at 900 am that morning. I was in Holgate on LBI. Surfer ran a photo of Beach Haven from that morning, called it the best east coast barrel ever photographed.
You want to understand who os Bolsonaro? He’s the Brazilian version of Donald Trump. He turns truths into lies and lies into truths.
If you want to check if Amazon is burning looking for scientific data not a jiu-jitsu instructor
Democrats still convinced only politician that lies i Trump Obama didnt lie about paying ransom to Iran for prisoners or dodnt lie about the guns he sold to the cartels fast and furious
I had a few friends who jumped into biodiesel during the peak oil phase, made a fortune. Curiously the Sumatrans couldn’t burn their forest down quick enough to plant oil palms so that Europeans could appease their enviro-conscience and fill their turbo-diesel with bio-diesel. The only conclusion that I have after 43 years devoted to studying the human condition, is that we are indeed strange beings, and that most problems are caused by the uncomfortable reality that are a few billion too many of us.
Last time I checked Joel Tudor was a wave dancing longboard kook that snakes everybody at Cardiff reef, not an environmental scientist🤔
Classic clown you are CG
I was going to ask why no love for Gloucester, then I remembered what Gloucester “residents only or park on somebody’s lawn for $40” beach access is like in summer. Surf free and/or die! (NH was clean waist+ yesterday, too.)
You are all puppets of international media… Brazil has been burned ever since but now that right wing won the election, all leftist international media joined together to go against Brasilian government. Those big guys are not interested in the environment but what can be extracted from the Amazon great source of mining, pharmaceuticals, gold, niobium, petroleum and WATER!!! Stop being hypocrites!!! World environment is dying away… North Pole is melting, Japan and Norway keep killing whales, Africa has been devastating by ilegal hunters, lions, rhinos, polar bears, dolphins have been killed under media’s nose and nothing has been done… Pls don’t call Amazon as world’s lungs because is not Oceans are the lungs of the world – which doesn’t mean that we can devastate the forest… We need ONGs out of the Amazon, we need that native people stop selling the earth for cheap money and we need more LOVE in the World!!!!
So you are saying that it is okay that the Amazon isn’t important, it’s okay to continue to destroy it, and the left is to blame, and the right is all about love…??!!
I can see the Brazil’s future with that attitude. Going from 2nd world, to 3rd and then 4th.
Boa Sorte!
Just like the USA Snowbored…. worshipping money.
Well said!
Please form a coherent argument. Whether the rainforest is or is not burning has nothing to do with whales being killed (you’ll find we are against that as well). At best this is an example of whataboutism, at worst it shows you have a very poor intellect.
One thing for sure, Joel is burning…..Out….
Fat blunts more like it.
Is Joel tight with Medina? Serious question…
the stupidity of tudor is off the charts.
FUCKING MORON.
Did he even read the NASA report? Here’s what NASA says: “August 2019 stands out because it has brought a noticeable increase in large, intense, and persistent fires.” Data released by Brazil’s own National Institute for Space Research shows that from January to July, fires had consumed 4.6 million acres of the Brazilian Amazon, a 62 per cent INCREASE compared to last year.
Regardless, the CONCERN is NOT that there are more fires generally but that there are more man-made fires with the express aim of clearing for agri-business, based on changes to environmental reguation made by Bolsonaro in addition to changes to weather patterns that keep them burning longer (it is only mid burn off season).
The result is that there has been a dramatic increase of forest that will not recover and cannot recover from fires. The fires hasten parts of the Amazon’s transition to a low diversity and low carbon ecosystem with a fraction of its current social and ecological value.
Not to mention the devastation of Indigenous peoples, another key concern.
FFS. You fucks made me type for 5 minutes. FUCKKKKKKKKK YOU TUDOR.
NASA lied about the moon vacations so can’t really believe that lot.
And the brasil space institute is just a fancy title for housing commission.
Lollllllllllll
You forgot Asteroids!!!!
Somethng to watch for “cough” is new viruses, lab grown or let loose from the jungles, jeez cross bird flue with ebola!! Thats a hoot!
Money comment!
Oh man, I hear you. Peak oil. Population bomb.
To be fair, over- population ain’t a scare, it’s a reality of ecosystems. Ask Easter islanders. PS – I bet Easter islanders were absolute chargers based on their birdman traditions…. hectic
I believe the correct response to Joel (I’m not on Twitter) is: ‘Liar liar, plants on fire’.
Say it, don’t spray it!
Ha ha, yeah I want the news, not the weather

If West Palm Beach gets tagged tomorrow by the hurricane, will the Orange Clown take the money he stole from FEMA for the Wall and return the money back to FEMA to rebuild his investments in West Palm?
Puerto Rico would like to know……
Flat earthers strike again
It’s a well known fact that a flat earth cannot sustain forest fires due to all the oxygen rapidly off gassing to space.
Oi! He’s a tiresome cunt that one. Jujitsu…closeted gays dry humping under the guise of extreme manhood? Cool.
