Smoke from burning in the Amazon reached São Paulo this weekend, 4000 km away. However, unlike what happens on the American West Coast, these are burned on purpose in order to occupy forest areas for agriculture. They always occur on a small scale, but in this government that encourages them, where the Environment Minister says that global warming is communist hysteria, the burning of virgin forests has skyrocketed.
This image, taken from the balcony of our house, should show an early spring crystal clear sky.
