What has climate change done here?

Climate change: As a farmer, I've observed the change in the landscape and even the change in the mood of the people who are not satisfied. That's what I've found in both aspects.

Mudanças climáticas: como agricultor,observei a mudança na paisagem e até a mudança no humor daspessoas, que não estão satisfeitas. É isso que notei em ambos osaspectos.

What do you think world leaders have to do now to stop things from getting worse and to help us adapt?

Well, what I think is that these people should have common sense. And not be influenced by major forces, like lobbies, like politicians who have vested interests in I don't know what. Just think about the common good of humanity.

My idea of a solution. It is to slow down the pace, the speed of in life, both at work and at leisure, as in anything. To be responsible with the environment and with people and with humanity, humanity in general, and to be patient.

Bem, eu acho que essas pessoas deveriamter bom senso. E não ser influenciadas por grandes forças, comolobbies, como políticos que têm interesses próprios em não sei oquê. Apenas pensar no bem comum da humanidade.

Minha ideia de solução é: reduzir oritmo, a velocidade da vida, tanto no trabalho quanto no lazer, comoem qualquer coisa. Ser responsável com o meio ambiente, com aspessoas e com a humanidade, a humanidade em geral, e ter paciência.
