    Default Crisis; The rainforests are burning

    Climate Crisis: Panic as 74,000 Amazon Wildfires Plunge Sao Paulo into Darkness, Can be Seen from Space



    The thousands of Amazon rain forest wildfires now burning over a wide swathe of South America can be seen from space. Some 74,000 fires have been tracked so far this year Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research (INPE). That is up 84% over last year.

    The country’s far right wing president Jair Bolsonaro has actually called for a vast increase in deforestation of the Amazon.

    Many of the fires are started by would-be cattle ranchers who want to clear the land and drive away native populations so that they can establish big ranches and sell beef.

    The fires are also being caused by human beings burning coal, gas and petroleum, putting greenhouse gases into the air. The greenhouse gases cause the earth to retain the sun’s heat, more and more as we put more CO2 up there. This global heating is drying out the Amazon rain forest.

    Global warming my arse !

    Bolsonaro’s fascism is bad for human beings in Brazil and its neighbors. But his actual encouragement of the destruction of the rain forest puts him up there with Hitler and other mass murderers, since the long term effects of what he is doing will kill millions.

    Wildfires DO happen during this time of year.

    Rainforests ARE still there.

    Jobs numbers revised, down 500,000. Do you think the Trump administration fudged on the numbers just a wee bit?

    Hello PoliTalker;
    Yeah, they probably think that they'll have their survival shelters to themselves.

    If they are like Trump they will assume they can buy air.

    I'd have laughed at that a few months ago. Now it's scary.

    This is São Paulo at 4 p.m., completely dark. Solar eclipse? No, it's the black smoke covering the city from the burning Amazon. It has been burning for 3 WEEKS.
