of the afternoon on August 19th South America’s largest city went dark. Under a thick, black cloud at 3pm, the lights flickered on in São Paulo’s skyscrapers; on the motorways brake lights started to glow in the city’s bumper-to-bumper traffic, and many Paulistanos were worried.
Meteorologists scrambled to explain what was going on. But the most likely explanation, most accept, is that fires burning far away in the rainforest are to blame. Climatempo, a popular private meteorology website, reported that a cold front brought low-lying clouds which then combined with smoke to form the thick black smog. According to the National Institute for Space Research , forest fires are more common than ever.
Mr Bolsonaro argues that he is fighting an “information war” over the Amazon; he says he wants foreign governments andreleased data showing increasing deforestation in July, the president claimed the numbers were fake. He then sacked the head of the agency, Ricardo Magnus Osório Galvão, a well-respected physicist.
Such belligerence outrages scientists and environmentalists. “Firing the director is an act of revenge against those who expose the truth,” says Marcio Astrini of Greenpeace, a pressure group. But the destruction of the rainforest tends to be out of sight, out of mind for a lot of Brazilians, most of whom live in large cities near the coast. The darkness brought deforestation to their doorsteps.
The Smoke travel 6000 Miles without anyone in the estates in the midle could see It. It was a mistery. Suddenly the Smoke apears in São Paulo! It was a miracle!
Fake news big time!!! What are you getting from this?
TheEcomunist!

Burn the wood down..theres a lot more where that came from..whats the leader of that country a stupid moron Imagine the revenue they could had made on that precious exotic lumber? And the poor creatures who lived in the forest..shame! Now it would be impossible to put it out
Please check your information sources more carefully. This information is not true
It's a big fake news! Sao Paulo has its own pollution due to the large number of cars and factories! Macron is a coward, is using lies and defaming the Brazilian government.
It was the “negative energy cloud” of people who does not love our Great Leader Bolsonaro.
Isnt it wonderful - fires harm own citiziens. But Bolsonaro send the army to stop the fires, which are made by left NGOs, he said.
Amazon rainforest belongs to Brazilian territory but is absolutely necessary to survival of all human kind . So we can call the rainforest a sort of global common property. Brazilian government claims sovereignty but it should listen to voices of concern from rest of the world.
Fake news!!
Clemisvaldo Which of these hypotheses applirs?

Tell another story! See the distance from Amazon Forest to Sao Paulo, are you kidding? Do me a favor, just do your homework.
Lots of big fires darken the sun...
if you see a Cloud, think twice it isn't a cloud it´s smoke from amazonia. No matter where you are.
Very Fake News...beyond lunacy
I’m appealing to God! No choice.
I think there might come a day when we will have to pay Brazil to leave its forest land fallow so the rest of the world can breathe. They hold the gun at the moment. Would they hold us to ransom? One day they might. Maybe its time to be kind to Brazil.
false story
With so many places around the globe in flames this scenario is something we could all face - the G7Summit MUST address this through technological and other globalcooling strategies - planting billions of drought-resistant trees, orbiting solar shields - whatever it takes

Please stop they fire!!!
With my experience in environment and knowledge of geography Amazon can be helped out of the embarrassing frequent fire outbreak
Bolsonaro deserves the worst kind of punishment imaginable.
Can someone please explain why nations aren't placing economic sanctions on Brazil or why corporations aren't pulling out of the country in order to force change? SaveTheAmazonRainforest
Bolsonaro should be taxing the rest of the world for using its natural resource for free, Middle East makes trillions off its oil, Russia’s gas, European coal, Asia’s cheap labour...!

It's not only wrong. It's late. This fake news was dismissed yesterday. Come on The Kommunist, you are a shadow of your past. Unfollow.
Ecoterrorists, not environmentalists. Ludicrously is the international press traying to judge what you don't know because your country and continent destroyed all of your green. And now simply want to rule our forest. Get out. Put your dirty hands of oil, coal and radiation away.
What? That’s not what happened! It was actualy wind coming from the south of Brazil, according to INPE. Do your research right!
what we have2learn is2detect these narcisstic strategies of turning around causalities and gaslight the public.
