A moderate sleazy careerist with at least good intentions on climate and air pollution has been replaced by a far-right nutjob. Marcelo Crivella is an evangelical “bishop”, who believes homosexuality is sinful, and has in in the past suggested it may be caused by stress in the womb from unsuccessful abortions. He has questioned evolution and even published libels that Hindus practice child sacrifice. I have not been able to find out if he has similarly crazy views on climate, but rational leadership on the issue cannot be expected.
