The vast majority of the fires have been set by loggers and ranchers to clear land for cattle. While this may be business as usual for Brazil's beef farmers, the rest of the world is looking on in horror.

The Amazon is burning because there are too many people living on this planet. Earth is Easter Island on a large scale.
If so, earth will take care of that as it always has.
“The vast majority of the fires have been set by loggers and ranchers to clear land for cattle”
Yep, China is pulling away from the US for the meat needs and making huge ag deals for S. American beef.
I care about the Amazon about as much as I care about the Antarctic and about as much as I care about Mars.
People love to virtue signal.
Whatever.
The “Amazon is burning” because all forests burn for one reason or other. The shocking thing is that this spurs growth and they regrow. What a shock! Who knew??? cnn...The Always LIE Network for Nitwits.
Aren't all the Dem candidates eating port at the Iowa Fair? Maybe they should eat some good Cuban Sugar cotton candy instead.
Every time an American eats a burger a jungle monkey catches on fire.
Most millenials will read this as amazon.com is burning.
You know I don’t think I’ve ever had a Mars Bar :O
Support the UN, they are hell bent on culling the human species in mass.
In a Perfect World they would process trees of the Amazon into charcoal over which we could grill our beef.
Well, I hope I still get my package.
Us serfs will be eating “Impossible Burgers” and Soylent Green as “meat” in the future.
If, suddenly, overnight, every human being on Earth became a Vegetarian, imagine all the farmland that would be needed to feed them!.
Feeding livestock is actually a way to concentrate food so that it can be more efficiently managed............
Fact is, 200 years ago because charcoal was Americas energy source there was hardly a tree between the Mississippi and the East Coast. In the intervening years just about all the biomass lost in The Amazon is now more than replaced in the same region where 200 years ago there were few trees.
Whats more, IIRC the natives have been burning swaths of The Amazon for a millennia or so and it doesnt seem to hurt it much.
The Vegans are like the gays .... trying to cram their way of living down everyone else’s throats. The latest rage with Progressives/envirowienies is vegetables only .... anti-meat. The interesting thing is that the SAD (Standard American Diet) & other diets heavy in veggies/grains, low in meat/fat, are NOT based on actual “science”. In fact, real science shows the opposite and you can actually REVERSE Type 2 Diabetes (which is on the rise, same consequences at Type 1 as far as diabetic retinopathy, amputations, kidney failure, etc.). It’s more than disgusting .... it’s nutritional medical malpractice for doctors to not put their patients on a low carb diet & treat T2D with diet, but instead hit them with pills (metformin, glucophage) & then when the pills no longer work, hit them with insulin in ever-increasing amounts. Sorry for the rant, but this has become a “mission” for me - educating people I know and/or love that they CAN get off insulin and return to normal A1c readings with a low carb, high healthy fat diet. BTW, saturated fat is not responsible for heart disease .... the villain is “inflammation” .... how to get inflamed? Eat lots of carbs, grains & vegetable seed oils.
