The Amazon rainforests have experienced more than 80,000 fires in 2019. What or who caused these fires?

The love of money, a leader who loves money and the people who start these fires (for money) are pure evil.

Slash and burn agriculture and expansion is both primitive and destructive. Brazil refuses to admit the depth of the impact on the planet.

I live in British Columbia, and last year was the worst for fires. Then the worst flooding in history. If we want our world to survive is stop the logging of our precious forests.

Vladimir Purim’s ‘crash and burn’ tactics aren’t doing the ecosystem any good. Ask him if he cares….

Before you start pointing fingers, how many of us live in countries who refuse to do anything about global warming? Such as alternative energies, weaning ourselves away from coal and petroleum , monitoring and regulating industrial pollution. Everyone talks about the cost of giving up petrol,but if we don't do something now we're living on a dying planet.

Deforestation is the result of the fires, not the cause of the fires.

It's so frustrating to hear people say that global warming isn't real! I have given up on trying to convince anyone that it definitely is real!

Surely, the cause of all this destruction is...ManBearPig!

While we should do everything to save the planet, those countries calling for “ deforestation “ are those who have already gotten rich and wealthy. Now they think the poorer countries should bear all responsibility to save planet and stay sufferingly poor. There is where the GREED is. ! ! !

You all believe that was the cause of that many fires.

Robert, They mean cause as motivation.

Are you sure deforestation causes fires? Removing trees would lessen the fuel for said fires? I think the deforestation argument is too simplistic.
