Last year there was a good deal of fuss about the Amazon rain forest burning at an alarming rate which at the time was shown to not to be the case.
Originally posted by rogue06 View PostMichael Shellenberger, who Time magazine declared a Hero of the Environment in 2008, has written a scathing article in Forbes excoriating some of the claims made about the fires in the Amazon and explicitly targeting some of the celebutards who have jumped into the fray.
[*Article continues at link above*]
Interesting to note that deforestation of the Amazon has declined “a whopping 70 percent from 2004 to 2012.” Recent increases are still at “one-quarter of its 2004 peak.”
Others have brought it up as well:
- NASA: Brazil Fires:
As of August 16, 2019, an analysis of NASA satellite data indicated that total fire activity across the Amazon basin this year has been close to the average in comparison to the past 15 years. (The Amazon spreads across Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and parts of other countries.) Though activity appears to be above average in the states of Amazonas and Rondônia, it has so far appeared below average in Mato Grosso and Pará, according to estimates from the Global Fire Emissions Database, a research project that compiles and analyzes NASA data. - New York Times: What Satellite Imagery Tells Us About the Amazon Rain Forest Fires:
Scientists studying satellite image data from the fires in the Amazon rain forest said that most of the fires are burning on agricultural land where the forest had already been cleared.

The fact remains that there was a lot of hysterical hand wringing last year about fires burning out of control in the Amazon and it turned out to be codswallop.

Read your OP again.
Now read your last post.
Notice anything?

No you are moving the goalposts from yes there have been Tropical Rain Forest fires that do indeed vary from year to year, and yes the fires are higher in some years and lower in others. Trump's Brazilian clone claimed the fires do not exist.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
