I remember when this happened on the east coast from the Canadian fires. It was surreal trying to walk anywhere with the burning in your eyes or nose.
A small indicator of how bad things are. According to the article many regions in the country don’t have the be necessary equipment to even measure air quality. From the article:
> In one of the biggest hospitals in the capital Brasilia, the number of patients treated for respiratory problems in recent days was more than 20 times higher than usual.
Same goes for Bolivia. Horrible times. The lung of our earth is burning in the name of capitalism
The worlds largest rainforest is mostly on fire? Man, im glad global warming isn’t real, or we’d be *screwed*
The smell of wildfire smoke will be the defining smell for much of the world in the coming decades. And having experienced living near wildfire smoke for almost two years before, it’s very hard on the health, mood, and sense of hope.
We must change course to something other than oil and coal companies ruling us with an iron fist and poisoning all public debates and information.
Yep the world has always had yearly firestorms that cover half the planet in smoke this is 100% normal nothing to see here all is well won’t look up.
Oh I’m old enough to remember when this was all Bolsonaro’s fault.
80%?? Holy shit. I think a lot of people don’t realize how big Brazil is.. That’s *wild*
Welcome to climate change and the end of the world. Now, go have forced babies.
