Leia o trecho da notícia “Amazon fires: what is happening and is there anything we can do?” publicada no jornal The Guardian e responda às questões.
What is happening ∈ the Amazon? Thousands of fires are burning ∈Brazil, many of them ∈ the world’s biggest rainforest, which is sending clouds of smoke across the region and pumping alarming quantities of carbon into the world’s atmosphere.
Does this happen every year? Yes, but some areas have suffered far more than usual. In the worst-affected Brazilian state of Amazonas, the peak day this month was 700% higher than the average for the same date over the past 15 years. In other states, the amount of ash and other particulates ∈August has hit the highest level since 2010.
What is the cause? Most of the fires are agricultural, either smallholders burning stubble after harvest, or farmers clearing forest for cropland. Illegal land-grabbers also destroy trees so they can raise the value of the property they seize. But they are manmade and mostly deliberate. Unlike the huge recent blazes ∈Siberia and Alaska, the Amazon fires are very unlikely to have been caused by lightning.
