From the article: >>As of August 16, 2019, an analysis of NASA satellite data indicated that total fire activity across the Amazon basin this year has been close to the average in comparison to the past 15 years. (The Amazon spreads across Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and parts of other countries.) "The US space agency, Nasa, has on the other hand said that overall fire activity in the Amazon basin is slightly below average this year. " https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-49443389 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-49443389 I am getting the impression that the BBC doesn't trust NASA. Is this part of the current administration's war on science? Is the world blowing this out of proportion? I don't know what will happen if NASA isn't a respected scientific institution any more. How does anyone know what is actually going on in the world? I tend to believe what NASA says, I still think all the publicity this is getting will make the world a better place. We can not have a big enough carbon sink. Everyone has an agenda and the news is trying get clicks, so they sensationalize everything.
