If they have not taken the proper care of Rio for years, why would anyone think one year is enough to clean up?. If this was a one year effort, wouldn´t the local government had done this clean up a year ago?… just to be on the safe side by one year ahead?… we´ll see.

Dumb question. Our answers will not clear up the pollution.

I think your comment is even “dumber”. Of course it won’t but the question brings attention to the problem.
