NASA came up with a follow up article and it seems like there's a lot of fire in Amazon currently "making it the most active fire year in that region since 2010".

So looks like it's been worse only 9 years ago and in some stupid articles I read that we lost 20% of Amazon in the last month or so... Amazon apparently has "fire season" every year when fire blasts there for months.

I feel like someone is trying to set up Bolsonaro or maybe the histeria is accidental because this years "fire season" in Amazon is "dry season" for media?

The charts does not look so bad this year, but I suppose 99% people have no idea Amazon burns every year:

I mean it's really good we're finally opening our eyes (it might be too late though), but I feel like we're being manipulated big time.
