Brazil's new president

Bolsonaro

Bolsonaro — who has been called the "Trump of the Tropics" and is known for making anti-gay, misogynistic, violent, and racist comments— is also taking aim at the country's environmental policies.

Scientists across the globe are worried, because as Brazil's president, Bolsonaro will control nearly two-thirds of the Amazon — the largest tropical rainforest on Earth. The president-elect argues that that the country has too many environmentally-protected areas hampering its development.
