El Niño Triggers Amazon Fires NASA Warns of 2027
The article discusses the rising phenomenon of El Niño and its impact on the increasing and worsening wildfires in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil over the coming months. Satellite images have shown a rise in the number of fires and smoke since September, with projections indicating that the fires will spread to new areas in November and December. This will further weaken the forests and damage local plants and wildlife. Most of the fires are attributed to human activity, particularly land clearing through burning, combined with ongoing severe drought conditions that diminish firefighting efforts and make the vegetation more combustible. The danger posed by the fires and drought is expected to escalate until the arrival of the rainy season at the end of 2026 and the beginning of 2027.
