What is happening in the Amazon? Thousands of fires are burning in Brazil, many of them in the world’s biggest rainforest, which is sending clouds of smoke across the region and pumping alarming quantities of carbon into the world’s atmosphere.
Thanks for this article guardian, simple, yet more explanatory and to the point than what is out there
The map is incorrect! Uruguay has no fires! However they're shown in the Nasa map. Careful!
elliegoulding First porch thieves now all of Amazon on fire, no wonder my orders keep turning up missing.
BOYCOTT BRAZILIAN AGRIBUSINESS! ForaBol卐onaro DownWithBol卐onaro
It’s an internal matter of Brazil. Hands off. The nerve to discuss it amongst yourselves in the g7 summit... the EU is only looking for reasons to not approve trade deals with Mercosul.
Listen to the people living in the Amazon, it's their home! Davi Kopenawa, a Yanomami shaman,says “Sickness is coming. That's Bolsonaro's fault. He doesn't speak for the Amazon.' Please help amplify the voices of Brazil's indigenous peoples:
GaelGarciaB Terrible lo del Amazona mucha responsabilidad tiene el presidents brasileño, pero tu como mexicano no te preocupa lo q tú presidente al q tanto has apoyado va destruir nuestras selvas con su tren maya
GaelGarciaB Humans... We should just Vanish
GaelGarciaB It’s not simply a “wildfire”, it is intentional. What’s happening is criminal, and our pathetic excuse for a president is doing what he does best: blaming NGOs (when he knows exactly who’s behind it) and saying this is all an evil scheme plotted by the left. He’s a moron.

Jail firebugs. This has nothing to do with climate change so stop lying to your readers.
Riogringa yes, visit amazon....
BanDeforestation BoycottBrazil BoycottBolsonaro
Yes. Ditch meat.
GaelGarciaB there is one thing you can do: shoot our president, please 🙏
More people need to see how important this is for climate change. Here’s a time-lapse of how large the fires have grown over the last 90 days.
elliegoulding Truth, Nothing at all Brazil's President is Pro Mining & Farming He won on the promise to open more of the Amazon up for industry & Having lost a 2 Million Acre Land Calims Case against Native Tribes not more than 2 weeks ago He doesn't care about the global impact this has.
elliegoulding I don’t even like the use of the term wildfire for what’s going on there. US West, Siberia, Australia get wildfires. In Brazil it’s very intentional land-clearing.
elliegoulding Stop eating meet
elliegoulding stop the fakenews , im from there , this is fake news , most of those fires has gone , the pictures and videos that the media is posting are decades old , how bad ass you guys are ! Unbelievable
This is really serious, and it's really important to conserve the ecosystem which thrives in AmazonForest I wish speedy extinguishing of AmazonFires
elliegoulding kill bolsonaro
IT’S DIRE. The rainforest is burning—“This smoke absorbs sunlight, not only preventing it from reaching the ground, but cooling the ground & heating the atmosphere. This process can suppress the formation of clouds.” ⇦means no rain, which makes it worse.
ImpeachmentDeBolsonaro 👇🏼
Send military troops to Suriname and give the ultimatum. Simple.
You should boycott anything that has soya and/or beef in it. Those two commodities are the reason the Amazon is burning. It also brings bad working conditions and killings of traditional peoples
Not unless the 'we' happen to be Brazilian firefighters.
It may be too late, if this article is to be believed:
They’re not “happening” they’re PLANNED to drive out indigenous peoples and make the land available for cattle ranches.
Hold the criminals who set these fires to account and in particular Mr Bolsenaro who gave them the green light and who should be brought before the International Court .
Trump phoned Putin about Siberian fires so maybe we should ask Trump to phone Bolsonaro in Brazil about Amazon fires. He should just say the smoke has reached Florida and is ruining his golfing holidays !amazonfires
Plant a tree.
Boycott Bolsonaro!
Guess what, bushland is burning in Australia too! OMG! Is there anything you can do?
Nature heals itself.
Isn't this where Trump's flying water tankers would come into play?
Stupid Q.
Some people just want to watch the world burn
The world, instead of hijacking the burning of the Amazon to fuel their own petty political agendas, should simply send money and firefighting airplanes to Brazil in order to help Bolsonaro’s government to do more of what it must do.
