Brazil's new foreign minister believes climate change is a Marxist plot

Ernesto Araijo has called climate science 'dogma' and bemoaned the 'criminalisation' of red meat, oil and heterosexual sex

Brazil's president-elect Jair Bolsonaro has chosen a new foreign minister who believes climate change is part of a plot by "cultural Marxists" to stifle western economies and promote the growth of China.

Ernesto Araijo - until recently a mid-ranking official who blogs about the "criminalisation" of red meat, oil and heterosexual sex - will become the top diplomat of South America's biggest nation, representing 200 million people and the greatest and most biodiverse forest on Earth, the Amazon.
