"Record' fires. Sounds VERRRRRRRRRRRRRy scarey
Can somebody link to the Amazon fire 'records"
The Amazon has historically been too wet to burn.
Quite wrong. This year's fires are far from the region's biggest.
I've been there. Trust me. It's wet there.
Not the point. This year's fires are not unusual.

since 2003?
I was there in the mid '60s. It was too wet to burn then. What happened?
I have no idea. Fires trending down since 1985.

That's probably because you keep reading WUWT instead of the real news.

Earth gets 20% of its oxygen from the Amazon. Today, it's on fire.
Blame humans for starting the Amazon fires
I guess learning the hard way will be on the agenda. Man simply refuses to think before he acts. smh
The rainforest that produces about 20% of the world's oxygen is burning

Leave it to you to give a link to the High Schooler's website. This link puts these fires into a more realistic perspective.
The Amazon rainforest is still on fire—here'''s how you can help
Since January more than 70,000 fires have been detected in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest, up 84% from the number tracked in 2018, according to the country’s National Institute for Space Research. This not only threatens the region’s future, but could also speed up climate change, since the rainforest significantly helps reduce the world’s carbon dioxide levels.
What do you consider real news?
For profit news is all about gaining market share and ads. Sensationalism sells. Lies sell.
If it bleeds, it leads. That's been a maxim of journalism for a long time.
Sites like WUWT have an agenda to push. They are simply not credible.

They at least source their material well. Better than more than 90% of other blogs out there. Read their source material if you don't trust them.
