Jair Bolsonaro accuses NGOs of setting fires in Amazon rainforest

> “On the question of burning in the Amazon, which in my opinion may have been initiated by NGOs because they lost money, what is the intention? To bring problems to Brazil”

He is making dangerous claims without evidence while failing to acknowledge his role in encouraging illegal logging in the first place. Bringing problems to his own country and the planet. >:-(

"Claims without evidence" is one of the polite euphemisms that the press must use with distressing frequency these days, even though it is much more accurate to say "lied through his teeth."

By the way, could you please change the title to reflect the actual headline of the story? "Jair Bolsonaro claims without evidence that NGOs are setting fires in Amazon rainforest"
