Brazil’s Amazon rainforest, known as the “planet’s lungs,” is burning at a record rate. The fires are no accident, and we need to face it. How does this affect our planet Earth? We explain.

The Amazon is burning at an alarming rate as tens of thousands of fires lay waste to the world’s largest tropical rainforest.
Brazil’s National Institute of Space Research said there have been 74,155 fires in the Amazon this year as of Tuesday, according to its satellite data: an 84% increase from the same period last year.
The Amazon is often called “the lungs of the world,” absorbing greenhouse gases that would otherwise harm the planet. It also is home to a number of indigenous people who rely on the forest’s resources.

Please pray to Our almighty god to save this rainforest
Why do we always keep approaching tipping points ? Why never we cross ….. that means all these tipping points are a big lie
There are parts of Africa burning twice the Amazon but it seems like no one cares about Africa.
"" SAVE.THE.EARTH.""
Why do I have the feeling they are trying to clear the forest.
Its their forest let them do with what they want , then in future when they come to Canada, we can show how to get to Ottawa and the trudeaus address.
Just Cargill extending it's soy industry profits. Where is the mystery here?
This people's deserves to go in hell
For animals died because of bad people
Most of these animals are only found on amazon rainforest and they burned the forest
the attitud of Bolsonare is very poor this is a disgrace and what he said ? : you want me to blame the indians ??, I do not much of Brazil, but what I know is that this guy prefers the forest to be remove so more ranchs can produce cattle and beef , one important industry for brasil, but why not think on protecting the amazon and look for other ways to produce meat, this stupid predator mentality is what has been causing the devastation of the nature in pro of wealth and non-sustainable explotaition of the natural resources, just destroy, build and devastate because we are the lords of the earth….. and we own everything, shame on us………
#PLANT 100MILLION TRESS!
The fact that no one is trying to stop it. Their sending abt 30 fire fighters a day and they only say for a few hours and leave. That's not helping at ALL
Get rid of the trees, more room to build for homless.
Trump suggest using H-BOMBS to put out the fires.
This is false news!
These fires have been occurring for years now. The media covered it up because a leftist ran Brazil. Now it’s the end of the world… scum reporting. If it’s a ‘crisis’ then why cover it up for years under leftist rule?
Futurama predicted the extinction of the Amazon when Fry found out that only Mars has jungles
There are more fires in Africa's rainforest than in South America right now. All you keyboard tree huggers have been fooled by fake news to worry about the smaller problem in Brazil while missing the bigger problem in Africa completely…Suckers!
Man, so smart so intelligent.
Let’s put it out by pouring buckets of gasoline on it
When the fire gets put out plant the trees and leave the Amazon forest alone
It's ALL about $$$$ … Human greed will be our DESTRUCTION!! WE MUST pay off WHOMEVER to make the Amazon Rainforest a PROTECTED World Ecosystem!!! Lets start a world FUNDRAISER TO SAVE THE RAINFOREST!!!!
A wrong leader can lead to destruction of the earth and humanity
This is the white man's world.
I pity the animals, sad these people don’t realize how this is important to our existence. All this for money
Shane dawson to the rescue
The world is literally ending
Bolsonero did not start the fires in the rain forest. It was started in retaliation against Bolsonero, when he cut government sub-sties to the ranchers and farmers.

Dammnn Humanity destroying our beautiful Mother Earth..
Us humans need to go, We are destroying our planet and doing nothing to fix it. Money will mean nothing if we are all extinct.
Lungs don't produce oxygen they produce co2 idiots!
I bet the masses of people don't even know that 50-85% of the oxygen we breathe doesn't even come from trees, it comes from phytoplankton and algae floating in the surface of the ocean. So calling the Amazon "The Lungs of the Planet" is a very misleading name
Guys it’s just population control…
Change your plans area 51 stormers
WERE GOING TO SAVE THE AMAZON INSTEAD 😂😂
SERIOUSLY WE NEED TO STOP THIS FIRE
Is someone gonna do something? Are we going to watch how the Amazon disappears before our eyes and than cry??
Stupid prezident
The president cut the billionaire budget from the press. He opened the BNDES black box. Even a billionaire banker has bought jets at interest rates of 5 percent a year, when his bank charges 80 percent interest on consumers and customers. The president is fighting the taxpayer money thieves. And this is generating a nasty campaign against him.
We don't wanna know why we wanna no why it took 3 weeks for everyone to start talking about this
Let's pray it won't get worse, for now, if your far away from Brazil, try and plant some trees or plants or recycle, and putting stuff in biodegradable and non-biodegradable correctly not just putting it wherever you want. And don't throw trash anywhere, I know I'm not your mom or dad or something, but we need to fight for what is right, don't make it more worse, or you'll get the consequences later. I hope the amazon fire will stop, and I will pray to God that they'll be okay in there, and please, work as a team! All we need is teamwork!
Put down all the selfish Presidents. 😠😠
Disappearing> ??? ridiculous. That's the difference between serious and serial liar mimi media. Fake news!!! Fake news. Fake news Fake fake fake fake…heard it enough….Hear it again:L FAKE sensationalim, CHeap sensationalism.
