>> whats your finishing point? >> i think the thing i would point out is weve seen something like this before. there was a farm crisis that occurred in the midwest in those farm states back in 1988. if you look nationally, reagan in 84 to bush in 88, look at this trend in iowa, reagan won that state by 7 in 1984. the crisis helped dthe other candidate. the farm crisis could be a very big deal for trump come 2020. >> and we saw that trump tried to make some leverage with farmers by cutting a deal...

Sort of initiative by the g7. my hope is that in the near future we have more of this kind of action, more leverage applied to bad actors on climate, but its not yet clear whether this one will work out or whether it will push bolsonaro even more aggressively into his corner. >> i was going to say all indications suggest that the sides are further apart than they were just a couple weeks ago. david wallace-wells, thank you very much. appreciate your reporting on all this. instead of starting s...
