The fires are in Bolivia, Paraguai and in the state of Amazonas and Rondonia in Brazil. Here is a picture of the emissions: https://twitter.com/m_parrington/status/1163834182860247040

I live in BC where it’s not uncommon for wildfires to consume a million hectares in one summer (as was the case in 2018 with a total of 1.3m hectares burned.)

...Typically we put out the fires first then assign the blame, seeing as it doesn’t really matter who’s fault it is once it’s started...

These fires are being set intentionally by agribusiness. They don't want to put them out.

The same president who recommended pooping every other day [1] in order to protect the environment.

That seems to show it burning in the ocean? That seems to include all the exhaust and not be a picture of the fires themselves.

Don’t look for sense in the statements of a fascist. It’s pointless and will just drive you nuts.
