Water samples confirm the "dark rain" that covered São Paulo at August 19, 2019 (a.k.a. last Monday from the day of this comment) came from massive manmade fires from the Amazon rainforest:

Chuva que escureceu SP tinha fuligem tóxica de queimadas, mostra análise da USP

“Achamos um composto que é encontrado só em queimadas, na queima de biomassa. Esse composto não é emitido em esquema de emissões industriais e não é emitido em emissões de carro. E nós o encontramos. É um composto chamado reteno”, afirmou ao jornal Folha de S.Paulo a doutora em química e professora Pérola de Castro Vasconcellos, responsável pela análise do material na Universidade.

"We've detected a compound that is only found in (man-made) fires, when burning biomass. This compound isn't emitted in industry and isn't emitted by vehicles. And we found it. It's a compound called Retene [C18H18, N.T.]", said to newspaper Folha de São Paulo Ph.D. and professor Pérola de Castro Vasconcellos, in charge for the analysis of the material at the University [of São Paulo -- USP, N.T.].

Our demand for meat consumption and agriculture is what's killing this planet. People keep having 4 or 5 babies like our resources are infinite. We should have mandatory birth control where everyone is allowed to have 2 kids maximum. The human race is spreading like a cancer to this planet. That is the root cause of all this but nobody wants to talk about this because this topic is taboo. One can blame capitalism or socialism but the root problem is human population. As long as their is demand for coal, oil, and natural resources the problem will never be solved.

If it were up to me I would put the military in charge of protecting the Amazon and it's indigenous people. Just like endangered species in Africa are now protected by armed men I don't see why we cannot do the same to the Amazon rainforests.

But this is what happens when you put a Bolsanero administration full of religious Evangelical lunatics who don't give a rats ass about our planet and want to accelerate the destruction of the world so Jesus can return and rapture their asses.

Zero fires thus far is nothing short of a miracle this year. Don't get me started on PGE negligence and corruption, but instead of starting to bury power lines in the fire hazard areas, because it costs monies, their plan is "BE PREPARED: YOU WILL HAVE NO POWER FOR A MINIMUM 3 DAYS". Their power grid is so ancient, if the small towns burn, that same grid connects to the East Bay and everywhere between Burn Town and there will be without power.

A TOP FINANCIER OF TRUMP AND MCCONNELL IS A DRIVING FORCE BEHIND AMAZON DEFORESTATION

TWO BRAZILIAN FIRMS owned by a top donor to President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell are significantly responsible for the ongoing destruction of the Amazon rainforest, carnage that has developed into raging fires that have captivated global attention.

The companies have wrested control of land, deforested it, and helped build a controversial highway to their new terminal in the one-time jungle, all to facilitate the cultivation and export of grain and soybeans.

The Amazon terminal is run by Hidrovias do Brasil, a company that is owned in large part by Blackstone, a major U.S. investment firm.

Another Blackstone company, Pátria Investimentos, owns more than 50 percent of Hidrovias, while Blackstone itself directly owns an additional roughly 10 percent stake.

Blackstone co-founder and CEO Stephen Schwarzman is a close ally of Trump and has donated millions of dollars to McConnell in recent years.

“Blackstone is committed to responsible environmental stewardship,” the company said in a statement.

Developing the roadway itself causes deforestation, but, more importantly, it helps make possible the broader transformation of the Amazon from jungle to farmland.

Brazil, the Amazon, and Global Warming (https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/08/29/brazil-the-amazon-and-global-warming/)

rich countries, most importantly the United States,

have been spewing huge amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere for well over a century,

while destroying the native forests on their lands.

They also have paid to have forests in other countries destroyed in order to meet their resource needs.

The blame Brazil story is one where

a group of rich boys are sitting around in their mansion eating a huge plate of cookies.

Meanwhile, they send the housekeeper from room to make the beds and clean up.

After the housekeeper finishes,

she sees the last cookie on the plate and begins to reach for it.

The rich boys then all yell at her for being greedy for wanting to take the last cookie.

The rich countries lack of concern for the environment made it cheaper for them to develop.

Now poorer countries, who are struggling to develop, are being told that they need to respect the environment for the good of the planet.

Ethanol fuels large-scale expansion of Brazil's farming land

A University of Queensland-led study has revealed that future demand for ethanol biofuel could potentially expand sugarcane farming land in Brazil by five million hectares by 2030.

UQ School of Earth and Environmental Sciences researcher Milton Aurelio Uba de Andrade Junior said that because Brazil produced ethanol from sugarcane, future biofuel demand would directly impact land use.

"Our study has modeled scenarios forecasting future ethanol demand based on different trajectories for gross domestic product (https://phys.org/tags/gross+domestic+product/), population growth, fuel prices (https://phys.org/tags/fuel+prices/), blending policies, fleet composition and efficiency gains," he said.

"A high demand scenario fueled by strong economic and population growth (https://phys.org/tags/population+growth/), soaring gasoline prices, and ambitious blending targets, could mean that current demand for ethanol in Brazil will be doubled by 2030.

"If this scenario occurs,

then Brazil will need an additional five million hectares of land

for sugarcane crops to meet this high demand."

As The Amazon Burns, Brazil’s Best Ally In Climate Denial Is The United States

Presidents Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro have forged a nationalist alliance based on the idea that climate change is a hoax.

Bolsonaro’s flip response to the fires, and his government’s

continued insistence that neither the Amazon nor the world face an existential climate threat, have made him a pariah on the international stage.

But when he delivers a speech Tuesday that will likely

continue to paint (https://twitter.com/domphillips/status/1174667389813874690) international concern over the Amazon as a global conspiracy (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-brazil-environment-bolsonaro/bolsonaro-says-criticism-over-amazon-interferes-with-brazils-sovereignty-idUSKCN1VC2OD) rooted in manufactured fears over a worsening climate,

Bolsonaro will be able to count on at least one major ally: the United States.
