Whoaaa. Scroll and look at China!!!

Thanks a lot.

It's very hard to understand what is happening from the media (Brazilian or international). This map explains:

- why it's so concerning even if the fires are overall smaller than the Amazon average for this time - because most of Acre and Rondônia are on fire, the average is down pushed by the largest, less populated states.

- what is up with the national and Acre's governments fighting on TV - most of the fire is there.

- How can the smoke reach São Paulo even though there's none of it here at the middle of the way in Brasilia - it literally took a turn at Bolivia.

The Bolivian and Peruvian people are probably not happy at all with the fires. I wonder why I don't see them complaining.

What is the huge red blot off the coast of NYC?
