    Snow in Brazil in July!! End of times? Proof or debunking of climate change?

    These are a few of the typical headlines from internet articles AND Youtube videos... that I see EVERY year when there is a snowfall in Brazil. Yes, because it DOES snow in Brazil every year. In the Northern Hemisphere Summer, obviously, because it's the Southern Hemisphere winter! :rolleyes...

    Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro tests positive for coronavirus

    https://edition.cnn.com/2020/07/07/americas/brazil-bolsonaro-positive-coronavirus-intl/index.html Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy. Let's hope this leads to Bolsonaro and Brasil taking the pandemic more seriously.

    Top European official arrested in Rio

    Although people are innocent until proven guilty, his subsequent actions do not sound like those of someone with nothing to hide: Rio venues have been so sparsely filled, I'm surprised he found a market. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-37107450

    http://www.news24.com/News24/Backpage/Offbeat/0,,2-1343-1347_1449431,00.html How has this guy managed to keep his job? According to a google search on the name of the town, Bocaiuva do Sul, he's banned birth control, handed out free Viagra, and banned smoking in an effort to increase his...
