Some people say they're destroying the world and it's disgusting that no one cares, other people say they're a cyclical thing that happen every year and are important for the health of the Amazon

who is right?

I mean... as ironic as it would seem to hear if you didn't already know... fires are good for forests in that the ash and burnt material provide great fertilizer for new forest to regrow. Kind of like how if you break a bone, the part where it regrows is actually stronger than before.

As far as where the thresh hold is between what makes it an overly destructive fire and a fire that's actually good for the forest? I can't say who is right in this scenario. I'd give it another week or two before we know for sure.

I don't know where it will shake out in the end, but what I am tired of is the US being blamed for every single environmental disaster in the past 20 years.

How is Brazil not getting much flak for this?
