Brazil’s wildfires have doubled since last year, causing severe damage to the Amazon rainforest. But what conditions are causing these fires, and what will happen if the rainforest reaches its tipping point? Weathered: Earth’s Extremes host Maiya May explains more.

If you want to exorcise a demon, you must say his name. Luis Inácio LULA da Silva and Alexandre de Moraes, the fire demons that burns the forest and the freedom.
Could the smoke (and temperature flux) caused by these fires contribute to Gulf storm formation?
We are in a Climate Emergency.
STFU!!!! This is nature way. Quit fear mongering. Yes it sick for those who live there, but again, it's matures way.
They are clearing a path 💔
This is horrible and all but the world's government's and the people that run things don't care, all they want is money. The tipping point happened a long time ago and it's too late too fix that especially with said stupid rulers

But I thought they were doing that on purpose bc they didn't care about the rainforest they only cared about their profits from growing crops on that land. Now it's so hot it's burning their crops … oh well….
I love this channel so much. It is profoundly depressing, but it puts things into perspective. My kid may be failing school, but coral reefs are dying at an unprecedented rate. Israel and Palestine are murdering each other’s people, but the Lungs of the Earth are burning.
More forests burning means more cattle land. What can go wrong?
This is the problem with just planting trees, they burn. Especially in areas people don’t have ready action fire department with natural fire breaks. I would recomend packing as many trees in to suburbs and cities as possibles. Those at least never burn.
I knew the increase in wildfires was going to accelerate global warming beyond current climate models, but this is even worse than I thought. Global action is needed now, but our leaders' short-sighted capitalistic nature won't allow that 😢
Ouch! It doesn't look good for mother earth… 🌎 So then, will this cause a cascade of methane to be released from the Arctic? ❄️ 🔥
Change happens ,
Brazilians have good judgment and are able to adapt
Damn pretty girl can i marry you
Are the fires natural or being started by morons?
More people need to watch third channel for sure.
We destroyed it, the planet is going to be a desert, it's done, forget it, the worlds climate is dead, gone, we did it, people killed the planet, it will never return, we did it, it's gone. Done.
"scientists are increasingly worried"
This isn't news. The Amazon and coral reefs have been dead men walking for a decade.
Such a fucked planet where the far right fascists want global disaster…
While the Sahara desert is getting wetter.
Intentionally set. Farm land is needed to survive.
