Fire in Brazilian Amazon Basin Below Fifteen Year Average
Timothy Birdnow
Much digital ink has been spilled over the forest fires in the Amazon basin, but is it really something unusual? Not according to NASA, which says the fire season is actually a bit below average for this time of year according to the fifteen year average. It is just that there were an unusually small number of fires in the last few years, thus building up fuel. This year is a normal correction to the curve.
This is an attack on President Bolsanaro, who is the South American version of Donald Trump. He has theorized the Left may actually be setting some of these fires to drive international intervention and force him out. Honestly, I wouldn't put it past these people.

When we first began having to empty our water bottles in airports, CBS News ran a film clip of an airplane blowing up to demonstrate what the new terrorist weapon (liquid explosive) could do. We now know, of course, that there was never any liquid explosive, but I knew at the time that the film clip was made in Ethiopia some 12 years earlier when terrorists blew up a captured airliner.
More recently, all networks ran a film clip an "air strike" on a refugee camp in Syria which it labelled a "war crime." It clearly had not involved any bombs, but was the results of camp fires spreading during a wind storm.
NBC last night ran film clips of the Brazilian "aftermath of the rain forest burning." None of the trees were more than about 15' tall and none were more than 8" in diameter. Some of the trees may have been three years old, but none were older than that. Most of the aerial shots were not even forests at all, but were grassland.
Interesting how the media keeps running video clips which demonstrate visually that the story it is telling is false.

Excellent points all, Bill. Yeah; the media is lazy and stupid and biased. It's like those photos they use of steam coming out of smokestacks to suggest pollution. They don't even bother to lie well.
BTW, I've tried to leave a comment or two at your website but my ancient equipment doesn't work. Sorry.
