Chancellor denies climate change
During a meeting with around 60 diplomats from the Secretary on Citizenship and National Sovereignty of Itamaraty, Chancellor Ernesto Araújo denied global warming and climate change. After hearing a presentation by a diplomat that works at the Environmental Secretary of Itamaraty, Chancellor Araujo said: “I don’t believe in global warming. You see, I went to Rome in May and there was a huge cold wave. This shows how the theories of global warming are wrong. But this never appears in the media”. His declaration caused a general embarrassment in the room, according to press reports.
