abstract = "How does the deforestation of Amazonia affect global and regional
climates? What arc the roles of these changes on Amazonian
ecosystems? We have concluded that the relation between Regional
Climate Changes (RCC)and Global Climate Change (GCC)is directly
associated with anthropogenic activities and therefore sensitive
to social, economical and political interventions. The RCCs are
caused by actions within the realm of the Brazilian sociopolitical
scenario, and prone to changes through the implementation of
public policies regulating the sustained use of the renewable
resources. The GCCs belong to an international arena, and are
caused by the high emission rates of greenhouse gases by the
developed countries. The effects of the RCCs could be abated if
the developed countries would endeavor to reduce the present
emission levels as documented in IPCC meetings and collaborate in
the implementation of a regulation to curb the carbon emissions,
in accordance to the Kyoto Protocol.",
