Canadian wildfires hitting new record

[Sunsettommy]

Damn, what a stupid lie. The Amazon forest has had many serious fires in recent years.
In 2024, the Amazon rainforest experienced a significant surge in fires, with over 44 million acres burned, marking a 66% increase compared to 2023.

Current Situation​

In 2024, the Amazon rainforest faced unprecedented fire activity, with 44.2 million acres burned in Brazil alone. This represents a 66% increase in the area lost to fire compared to the previous year. The number of fire outbreaks surged by 42.3%, with a total of 140,346 fire outbreaks reported, up from 98,639 in 2023. September was particularly devastating, with 13.7 million acres burned, an area comparable to Costa Rica.

The tropics lost a record-shattering 6.7 million hectares of primary rainforest in 2024, an area nearly the size of Panama. Driven largely by massive fires, that’s more than any other year in at least the last two decades.
According to new data from the University of Maryland’s GLAD lab and available on WRI’s Global Forest Watch platform, tropical primary forest disappeared at a rate of 18 football (soccer) fields per minute in 2024 — nearly double that of 2023. These are some of the most important forest ecosystems, critical for livelihoods, carbon storage, water provision, biodiversity and more. Their loss in 2024 alone caused 3.1 gigatonnes (Gt) of greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to slightly more than the annual CO2 emissions from India’s fossil fuel use.

It appears horrible until I discovered the fire data only covers a 5 year period and the source for the data isn't available as it goes to Biomap which isn't a database it is a graphic set up.

Then I looked up the OFFICIAL Satellite fire data that was mentioned by your link that show the year 2024 was the outlier year while this year it is back to the normal fire season rate showing the August 2025 is less than 22 Augusts going back to 1998 with 4 years slightly less.

From YOUR link is this dishonest statement,

The number of fire outbreaks in the Brazilian Amazon surged by 42.3% compared to 2023. Data from INPE—Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research— revealed a total of 140,346 fire outbreaks in 2024, up from 98,639 in 2023. The all-time record was set in 2004, with 218,637 outbreaks

Here is the OFFICIAL satellite data source Data from INPE—Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research that shows a very different picture than your tiny time frame 2019-2024 which is stridently dishonest as this database goes back to 1998 showing a very different picture.

August-September 2024 was a terrible fire event and that was it an outlier while 7 maximum months occurred before the year 2008 thus your source produced a highly misleading narrative based on a single bad year 2024 that covers two months while it is back to the usual this year.

When are you to stop making dishonest narratives?

Sea rise is good for coral.

When it happens.... but it isn't happening now, or in the past 200 years...

the Amazon rainforest experienced a significant surge in fires,

Same issue. Amazon is not warming. There are just way too many people consuming too much fresh water there, enough to suck some of the inner parts of it dry. The term "rainforest" really does not apply when the "forest" is chopped up, humans move in, and start sucking out fresh water from surrounding areas...

NOAA confirms 84% of world’s reefs faced bleaching-level heat stress

That's just complete BS as usual.

What "temperature" of water causes coral to bleach???

THEY WON'T ANSWER IT BECAUSE THE BLEACHING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH "WARMING" THAT DOES NOT EXIST.

LOL, my source is straight from the official National Canadian National Fire database that also goes back to 1980 while your starts at 2012 a misleading starting point to construct a slanted narrative.

From this CNFSB LINK is this paragraph explaining their chart:



Here is my chart again you failed to rebut:

2023 was the outlier year that inflated YOUR source claim thus created a misleading narrative, thus as usual you present a dishonest claim using second hand reports from a journalist in this case while I use the OFFICIAL fire data source operated by the Canadian government.

Ouch !

Good one.
