Vast fires, many of them set by loggers, are ravaging the Amazon at a rate not seen in years, sending plumes of smoke that darken skies over Brazilian cities at a time when there is international pushback against President Jair Bolsonaro's environmental policies.⠀
⠀
"It suddenly got dark, I had no idea what was happening," said Jailma Maria da Silva, a 49-year-old manicurist in São Paulo, about the nightfall which descended two hours earlier than normal on Monday. Researchers said the forest fires, some more than 2,000 miles away, were partly to blame.⠀
⠀
The clouds of smoke are so large that a NASA satellite captured them from space. The number of forest fires in Brazil, mainly across the Amazon, has soared 84% this year compared with the same period last year, according to Brazil's National Institute for Space Research. On Tuesday, the agency registered a new fire roughly every minute across the country.⠀
⠀
Bolsonaro, who has jokingly nicknamed himself "Captain Chainsaw," favors loosening environmental protections to spur economic activity and has clashed with European governments and environmentalists over their concerns about the destruction.⠀

migfgou The brazilian Government is actually doing nothing about the chaotic situation in the Amazon forest. No federal effort is in place to extinguish these fires - which are burning for the past 3-4 weeks and still going strong. Up to now, only local resources are being used and that's not enough to cope with this tragedy. When asked about the fires, Ministers of the current government replied they had more important things to do. The Minister of environmental issues was himself found guilty on charges of environmental fraud a few years ago in favor of mining corporations (one of them involved in the recent Brasil Paraguai energy scandal) - he is also quoted by saying the region "needs capitalist solutions, not environmental ones". Even the president himself, an extreme right winger proved to be totally inept for the job, made up with some fake story that NGOs were setting fire to the region just to make his pitiful government look bad(as if needed). Some opposition political leaders say the fires were allowed and incentivated to pay back for 2018 electoral support by corporations, farmers, loggers, etc. who always had major business interests in the region. And for the Brazil's sovereignty argument, let's keep in mind there are no frontiers in environmental issues - it affects the whole world, it's a global problem. The US fracking in oil extraction is a global problem. German car companies committing fraud on CO2 emissions, Chinese factories polluting the air, massive Canadian wood burning, etc. are all global issues. The list goes on and on. Either Brazil takes the lead on this matter, or some G7/China/Russia reasonable and acceptable excuse will be used to finally take control of the region - an objective these countries have pursued since their economies started depending heavily on models which pollute the world (which makes one wonder if this was the plan all along). As it current stands, #sosAmazon is a quite valid cry for international help.

guilhermeamvieira Please, take care with you don’t know well. The fire really happens but the dark sky 2.000 mile far away, with no dark in this way, it’s a BIG mistake to talk about. Even this journal could make mistakes just like this. But care with Brasil.
