(CNN) - A record-breaking heat wave coupled with rare summer thunderstorms are fueling wildfires across California, with nearly 30 burning more than 120,000 acres as of Tuesday morning.

A year ago this month, the forest around the town of Novo Progresso erupted into flames — the first major blazes in the Brazilian Amazon’s dry season that ultimately saw more than 100,000 fires and spurred global outrage against the government’s inability or unwillingness to protect the rainforest. This year, President Jair Bolsonaro pledged to control the burning — typically started by local farmers to clear land for cattle or to grow soybeans, one of Brazil’s top exports. He imposed a four-month ban on most fires and sent in the army to prevent and battle blazes. But this week the smoke is again so thick around Novo Progresso that police have reported motorists have crashed because they can’t see. As smoke wreaths Novo Progresso, this year’s burning season could determine whether Bolsonaro, an avid supporter of bringing more farming and ranching to the Amazon, is willing and able to halt the fires. Experts say the blazes are pushing the world’s largest rainforest toward a tipping point, after which it will cease to generate enough rainfall to sustain itself, and approximately two-thirds of the forest will begin an irreversible, decades-long decline into tropical savanna. xxx Even if it’s just soybeans it wrecks the ecosystem but 7 plus billion people gotta eat folks. |
