Quite wrong. This year's fires are far from the region's biggest.

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

(Fire in the forest: Piero di Cosimo, Ashmolean Museum) Kip Hansen at WattsUpWithThat reports that forest fires in the Amazon are less than at the same time in 2016, and praises an article in the New York Times by Alexandria Symonds which gives a clear and fact-based account of what’s happening, noting particularly that most of the …

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.

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.

And yet it's WUWT which links its stories to the Global Fire Emissions Database.

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.

There are a lot of denialist blogs out there that don't even pretend to back up their stories, that's true.

I noted in a previous post a surprising fact about the coverage of the Amazon fires: that several media outlets normally only too happy to spread any alarmist rubbish that would aid the catastrophic climate change narrative were publishing articles which contradicted the normal propaganda. I mentioned the BBC, Bloomberg, the New York Times and … Continue reading →
 
The companies that bare responsibility for the burning Amazon rain forests.

"The burning of the Amazon and the darkening of skies from Sao Paulo, Brazil, to Santa Cruz, Bolivia, have captured the world’s conscience. Much of the blame for the fires has rightly fallen on Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro for directly encouraging the burning of forests and the seizure of Indigenous Peoples’ lands.

But the incentive for the destruction comes from large-scale international meat and soy animal feed companies like JBS and Cargill, and the global brands like Stop & Shop, Costco, McDonald’s, Walmart/Asda, and Sysco that buy from them and sell to the public. It is these companies that are creating the international demand that finances the fires and deforestation."
