Environmental activists warn that if the Amazon reaches a point of no return, the rainforest could become a dry savannah, no longer habitable for much of its wildlife. If this happens, it could start emitting carbon -- the major driver of climate change.

The fires are burning at the highest rate since the country's space research center, the National Institute for Space Research , began tracking them in 2013, the center said Tuesday. There have been a total of 72,843 fires in Brazil this year, with more than half in the Amazon region, INPE said. That's more than an 80% increase compared with the same period last year.The Amazon is often referred to as the planet's lungs, producing 20% of the oxygen in the earth's atmosphere.

— Shannon Sims August 20, 2019 Read MoreDramatic images and videos on social media show giant plumes of smoke rising from the greenery, and lines of fire leaving blackened waste in their wake.The smoke has reached all the way to Sao Paolo, more than 1,700 miles away. Images from the city show the sky pitch black in the middle of the afternoon, the sky and sun blanketed by smoke and ash.

Produced by @CopernicusEU's atmosphere monitoring service, it shows the smoke reaching the Atlantic coast and São Paulo 🇧🇷— WMO | OMM August 20, 2019 The Amazon river stretches across several of these South American countries, but the majority -- more than two-thirds -- of the rainforest lies in Brazil.According to the INPE, more than one and a half soccer fields of Amazon rainforest are being destroyed every minute of every day.

Theory is just that Theroy

SOB’s

Holy shit man, if only there was some kind of anti carbon device.

Five years ago I dreamt the Amazon forest did no longer exist. I woke up and laughed it off. Now that I'm seeing the news this whole thing seems surreal. It's not funny anymore.

Anyone want a steak dinner? I’m buying?

But no one powerful country will do nothing to avoid it. If Brazil can't or does not want to save the Amazonia, United Nations should intervene immediately. If it can affect the future world climate, not only Brazil should decide.

Plant a tree save the planet

CNN - I may have something of interest re- the Amazon Fire story. Can you get in touch with me? Cheers. DM on here is fine.

Crossfire923 So sad! Prayers is our only hope.🌠

😂😂😂😂

More likely to grow back as forest just as other forested areas have grown back after fires. Just more climate change fear tactics. FakeNews FakeNewsMedia

“If the Amazon reaches a point of no return.” “If this happens, it could start emitting....” these are suppositions pointing to a hypothetical scenario. This Tweet is bait to stir division!!! Ignore them!

cnn FakeNews

Except thats not how it works.

What a bunch of kooks

😥

Guess we have to start using those hydrogen powered cars, that the government has been suppressing, a lot sooner now won't we.

More of the Amazon burned in 2016. Why is this suddenly news again? Who’s pushing this old story and for what agenda?

CNN is cancer to the mind.

Yawn.

serplaci I am sorry world.

“If could” “if could” If CNN could stop fake rage narratives it could move up from their 27th spot in the ratings, sources said

Majority of fires are clearing lands previously cleared for farming. Not new forest burning... but keep selling your narrative of fear.

Thanks to the Brasil and Russian forest mafia for the global climate changes! Humanity will die if America will not kill world forest mafia!!!

Amazing......

Are burgers and steak worth this devastation? Please govegan

KennedyAlencar Thats bullshit. Read NASA report on the subject. Plus Bolivia’s share of the Amazon has a largest area that is burning. Why you don’t mention that?

You can feel the collective shrug from the anti-science republicans.

🤣🤣🤣

Not to mention a large portion of the World's pharmaceuticals come from products & plants only found in the Amazon.

The whole thing is incredibly heartbreakin'😣

What about the Ozone layer

Another example of your so called “news,” organization proving it’s nothing more than a mouthpiece for the socialist party. CNNisFakeNews. Also explains why your ratings are in the toilet. Lol

It's ok to destroy the very thing that provides 20% of Earth's oxygen if it makes you rich. This planet does not benefit from human existence. It will be better off without us.

IF

👎🏻

By that point point it won’t matter. Earth as we know it will be over.

The whole thing is incredibly heartbreaking. And I'm helpless 😣

Without our tropical rain forests 🌳 the 🌎might have a surface like Venus 🔥👇🏻--after the 1917 Russian Revolution capitalists always said the whatever problems the free enterprise system may have it could pass legislation to fix it. And they did. Can they do it now?

They look really worried

This is why nobody listens to these people... everything is the apocalypse. Let's be honest... these activists deserve nothing less than a padded cell.

This is a huge underestimated situation for us.With power/money/technology we should able to bring positive changes towards ClimateChange.If we still fail to bring positive impact then it would be a great responsibility in future. ClimateAction ActNow ClimateEmergency amazon

I just feel sick. I can't give enough praise to the firefighters. How incredibly overwhelming and sad

Not good.

Not likely.

That is bad news

The Amazon rainforest is burning. It's already emitting carbon!

Why don’t other countries get involved and send help to fight the fires. Hope our chosen one will step in

Screaming For more justice Amazonia burns Can you hear them?

Não conhecem a realidade da Amazônia e divulgam bobagens.

Are any other countries helping I don't see reference to it except djt offering help. Didn't Australia send help to California when they had their fires?

Wasn't the southwest desert in the United States once a rainforest in which dinosaurs once roamed?

Unfortunately, this happens with the lungs of the earth

May present of Brazil aware that issue

Propaganda, NASA reports the annual fire is in line with historical data!

Shut up

We ALL need to wake the hell up and do something!

This is seriously terrifying.

truly shocking

Fake news, as usual!

It's an alarming situation and there is a need to be whole the world unite on this issue and try to resolve this burning issue.

So? The planet has been around for 14 billion years, it’s not going to “die” anytime soon.

Sorry to break it to you like this but it’s already too late. We’re doomed.

*Scientists

people must to do something

Oh for heavens sake! Stop it! Enough! The planet will survive longer than we. This is what happens when people turn away from God.

Everything is going to be alright.

The why is NYT saying different?

NASA says these fires , while awful, happen yearly and are actually less this year than last. Political agenda.

It's really serious.

Let me guess cow farts are the cause

'...the rate in the number of fires detected by satellite images this year was roughly comparable to 2016.'

KLovesNature 😥

I heard the fire was my fault, for eating too much meat.

You're blowing this out of proportion. Fake news strikes again.

You told all the small poor family farmers to stop using herbicides. So they did. Btw, the jungle always grows back. And thanks to higher CO2 it grows back faster.

Oh now y’all wanna report on the amazon. Don’t worry. The RainForest took care of itself.

America is far more concerned with the burning question- just HOW stinky is Don “ Stinkfinger “ Lemon’s finger really ? Is it the stinkiest finger known to man ? Did he insert it in his corn hole first ? Please explain.

It is a very big worrying thing for the whole world

It's been a good run folks the news is telling us to prepare for the end. It's constant and always negative. We're doomed. That is the news for us now. Game over. The end is near. Thank you CNN for the amazing insight into our demise. TheEnd

In actual fact, fires in the Amazon rainforest are below average this year.

If all the super powers collectively pulled all their resources towards Brazil, the fire's would be put out in one day.

Bullshit! With all the fires that happen yearly for centuries, what happens after? New growth. Planetary evolution is a real thing. & you know what, no matter how many taxes you wish to add to fight it, you wont stop it! But sure, forcefully take more of our money Mr. Government

fake news

😥😥😥

Anyone who cares about the rainforest already cares about the rainforest. And anyone who doesn't is currently in power, so there's that for meaning anything at all.

En lo que se refiere al cambio climático, ya no se puede confiar que cada presidente tome las medidas adecuadas y urgentes necesitamos una autoridad unica

OMG, end of the world.

Not true

Obama's mansion is proof that climate change is a hoax

Mentirosos.

Maybe you should look at the NYT article about the wildfires in the Amazon you're pushing fake news cnn

Well we only have 12 years anyways! So who cares?

Trump will fix it

Savannah like the salad at Mccallisters deli? $king for an acquaintance.

And NASA says it's not burning anymore than usual...so who are we to believe?

The chance of that happening is zero. The Rain Forest replenishes itself 2 quickly. Activists R more Neurotic than Aunt Jemima. Only clearing the land is a concern, but a very small 1.

Whatever. Go out tonight and party hard, live fast. The world is just fine!

Please.....Find...The photo de la NASA of The Venezuela's amazon rainforest....Please....

FAKE NEWS!

Do something about the weather now!!!!!!

We should learn from the past; just take a look at Easter Island...

Idea 1 - Dedicate it a World zone but under Brazilian sovereignty & the world countries pay an annual fee to Brazil to maintain & obtain a return for its use by the world. Incentivize the Brazilian people to maintain it as a protected zone.

So when do the liberal hypocrites stop flying their jets?

This is depressing and devastating! 😢💔

It's time for ALL of us to just do whatever we want! The people in government do so why can't we? Everybody will be dead soon anyway so ENJOY YOURSELVES!

CNN is a Fake News Network

Fake News getting more fake by the day for their marxist agenda.

Wouldn’t that be something if true , fakenews

Sadly there is a fascist who stole the presidency in Brazil and is currently encouraging the burning and destruction of the forest. The world is in a very precarious place at the moment.

Its not wild fires..... Its deliberate to drive off the native tribes and create more farming land... Amazon was getting destroyed before even the fires started... All thanks to the right wing president and he's supporters America and israel....

Another right wing catastrophe

“9 out of 10 wildfires are caused by humans.” -Smokey

I trust NASA. AND Nasa said in a recent update on its site that 'total fire activity in the Amazon basin was slightly below average in comparison to the past 15 years'. I'm not saying this isn't a horrible thing but why lie? Fakenews AmazonFires wildcorwin

Too late. The climate has reached runaway change. We8re past the tipping point. We’re boned.

The World is Not a Perfect Place and it never will be.

Nice scenario of a land turning into a desert. How alarmist of you, CorruptNewsNetwork. Of course deserts don't emit any carbon or greenhouse gases.. but FakeNews emits a lot of toxic gases, mostly from verbal feces.

Unbelievable! You don’t have to loose your eyes to ignore the planetary suicide done to Earth due to horrendous policy coming from Jaír Bolsonaro’s government! It’s time to act now, and stop crying 😢 Amazon basin deserves our care.

Now if all brazilian men could run towards that fire.....

We're gonna die

Earth said 'Fuck it, if I'm goin to hell yall humanassess better lead the way'

HappyHound1 I’m no conspiracy theorist by no stretch but given what’s going on today, both on a macro and micro level, sure seems like things are unraveling exponentially...it just all feels so different now since this President has been in office. And now the Amazon is on fire? Whoa 😮

Why not let your president to stop it? In the world's eyes, the president in your country is the most busy person, always busy in taking care of the matters of other countries, but not his own country at all.

Um, *burning it* emits carbon. The trees, like all organic matter, have carbon. When burned, the carbon combines with some of that oxygen—'combustion' or 'burning' is a type of oxidation process—to form CO2. CO2 is the primary waste product of burning organic matter.

Awesome..I’m actually living through the end of times! Well done cunts all that money is defo going to come in handy now!

The courage to put your body on the line is what political activism looks like. Our children's children do not deserve an uninhabitable wasteland. Adults need to step up and help dismantle predatory fossil fuel capitalism. A change of systems is the way forward. Just do it.

This is just bogus. Nothing but more fear mongering by people who have no idea what they are talking about.

This is all in God’s plan. It’s been written years ago and is coming to fruition.

All these sociopaths running the world....were so fucked.

Would have been much less devastating if a sh*t-ton of acreage weren't chopped down on purpose in the 70's 80's 90's 00's etc to make way for oil drilling and farming well before these fires happened.

This breaks my heart to pieces

Tell them to plant trees! Problem solved! Ten billon trees will do it! And can be done in 5 years employing people and if they do fruit trees they can make money to pay for it all!

Every country should take actions to do something. So heartbroken.

Instead of people talking about it, we gotta do something about it. Get people down there to put it out cause it sure as hell isn’t gonna put itself out.

Will it FINNALLY cause the end of snow like you have been promising for 30 years! I hate snow.

When the great *man made climate emergency* fraud is extinguished, don't fret. The great Amazon Rainforest emergency seed has been planted.

Is this the first time the Amazon rain forest has been on fire? 🤔

It is emitting carbon right now. That's what happens when it burns.

Lie!!!!

For its part, the Brazilian government may be keen to burn forests to help develop rainforest projects and development

We are all doomed!

we’re dead

I'm just waiting for realDonaldTrump instructions on how to put out this fire lol

You would think that trump's 'Christian' followers would take this as a sign from God that we need to heed this warning. Don't bet on it.

Trump was so eager to help Putin with his fires in Russia, Haven't heard a peep out of Trump wanting to help the Amazon's fire, doesn't he care? OH ya, their brown people. They might want to invade the US or become a infestation. The Amazon is precious to the world.

It happens every year because of the dry air. Ou President is already taking care of it. Bye!

The Amazon for its importance for the survival of the entire planet should be governed by an International Statute supervised by the United Nations antonioguterres PostBaron UN UN_News_Centre

Yup it's probably Trumps fault. Lol, why arent u blaming him for this, like u usually do, your network is like watching comics

Has Trump addressed this environmental crisis? Does he even care why it’s as serious for the planet as it is?

Amazon CNN all these liberal people are lying to the people they want to take you and your rights away

This is so damn sad in so many ways.

And JairBolsonaro is trying to blame green NGOs for this, when his anti-environment policies are to blame!

Unfortunately the president of the country is only concerned with his ego. The forest burns and he plays dead. 😒

Why is no one talking about this as the Rain Forest is on Fire!! But I have to listen about Trump all fucking day, turn the new off of that ass and start talking about the Amazon burning. Notre Dame Burns and everyone and there mom is talking g about it........

Lung of the earth is burning, time to take immediately effective actions to stop it!😠

Yeah, yeah, yeah...and in the 70’s they said the we were on the edge of an ice age! I remember it clearly! Didn’t buy it then & I was in my early 20’s, and don’t believe the climates warming now & I’m in my mid 60’s! Check the ice samples from Antartica, they tell the real story.

They have been clear cutting that forest since the 70's. Corporate farming, expanding industry, expanding cities, population growth. The increase in fires is not a big surprise. 1st world or 3rd, greed is going to kill us all.

Hey Trump did you call themabt raking the forest

The fires are burning at the highest rate since Brazil's space research center began tracking them in 2013. There have been 72,843 fires in Brazil this year, with more than half in the Amazon region. That's more than 80% up from the same period last year.

Could be inviromental terrorism? Would not surprise me.

It's a chronic problem. It preceeds the actual government.

C'mon, America! Get rid of the crooked mob boss! He could care less about climate change. Why would he? He's the next Epstein. His life is over!

Sorry, but Bolsonaro is your problem too.

Don’t forget to blame us for that too

Well CNN why are you tell us tell it to the world government s the can change laws to help the environment but hey the won't so their u go

CO2 is plant food! It IS a scientific fact that increased CO2 is greening the planet, there is NO scientific evidence that shows that CO2 is warming the planet!

Ummmm it’s dry season, and in dry season, it burns. Lightning been burning jungle since jungles sprang up.

And everybody talks about global warming this is part of the problem everybody want to cut down all the damn trees burn up all the remaining stumps and everything and that's what's causing global warming don't you know that trees give off oxygen and suck up carbon dioxide no.....

Developers in Brazil enjoy such events as they can claim more lands for building more towers and buildings, stacking up humans on top of one another!

It's weird because this has been going on for days and the media never said a word. Couldn't find a single article online. Now the media finally decides to report and it's attached to a political piece

Except carbon (carbon dioxide) is not the major driver of climate change. At 4000 ppm of carbon dioxide at the end of the Ordovician, Earth didn’t burn-up. Rather, it saw an ice age. The primary driver of climate change is solar energy.

When you host the ClimateForum, please don't let them take refuge in anodyne nostrums. Rejoining Paris is a baby step. We need dynamic change, and it won't be easy – but it would be great in the long run. Almost no one in the Paris Agreement is on track.

I am sick of these dumb replies. Anyone with a brain can see this is a slow process but it!s happening. Sort of like trump: he’s slowly killing our environment.

It already emits CO2 (not 'carbon'). When it is a Savannah, will you finally shut up about it?

natural selection please please PLEASE make the people who started this go extinct

No one cares.

This is partially because of the policies of their newly elected lunatic, who is a virtual clone of Donald Trump.

More than one and a half soccer fields of Amazon rainforest are being destroyed every minute of every day, according to Brazil's National Institute for Space Research
