  Thanks a lot. It's very hard to understand what is happening from the media (Brazilian or international). This map explains: - why it's so concerning even if the fires are overall smaller than the Amazon average for this time - because most of Acre and Rondônia are on fire, the average is down pushed by the largest, less populated states. - what is up with the national and Acre's governments fighting on TV - most of the fire is there. - How can the smoke reach São Paulo even though there's none of it here at the middle of the way in Brasilia - it literally took a turn at Bolivia. The Bolivian and Peruvian people are probably not happy at all with the fires. I wonder why I don't see them complaining.

    most credible meteorologists agree the smoke that reached sao paulo were from fires in Paraguay. but since social media is adamant that it was Amazon and that those meteorologists are hiding facts to cover the government, leds me to believe this is an international coordinated campaign to make Brazil look irresponsible taking care of Amazon "the lung of the world" and that the USA will soon offer to build more bases on the Brazilian northeast, like they did last time this was the international consensus. in the end, it's all about Brazil's and Venezuela's oil. and very little about the trees.
