Why would payment imply capitalism? Pay in resources idk, who cares. Europe is rich because of the material wealth from South America, Africa and Asia.
For Brazil to forgo exploiting its material wealth, it has to be compensated.
Or it will forever exist in a subservient and underdeveloped state.
That’s just pure logic, I’m not sure what is wrong with what I said.
Because it won't happen and can't happen in our current world. It's nonsense. It's like pontificating what would happen if personal teleportation existed.
Ah so thinking about solutions, very doable solutions mind you, is nonsense. It’s like teleportation, which is physically impossible. While making payments to developing countries to keep their nature intact is perfectly possible in many many ways.
But yeah, let’s all completely stop deforesting. That’s much more plausible.
