Sep.14 -- Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden attacked
President Donald Trump on Monday for denying the reality of climate
change, calling it an existential crisis that should be tackled
aggressively as fires raged across the Western states and covered major
cities in suffocating smoke. Biden spoke in Delaware.

Deforestation in the Amazon rainforest
The Royal Statistical Society’s stat of the decade is 24,000 square miles of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest
SLO (Reuters) - Deforestation of Brazil's Amazon rainforest threatens to accelerate and draw increased global concern since no new fire prevention measures have been taken in the crucial run-up to this year's dry season, according to Tasso Azevedo, coordinator of a group called MapBiomas that monitors the rate of forest destruction.
"It would be expected that it will be worse than last year unless something really big happens in the next two or three months to avoid the high season of deforestation that starts in May," Azevedo told Reuters in Oslo on Wednesday.
Deforestation in Brazil, home to the biggest share of the Amazon rainforest, rose to its highest in over a decade in 2019, the first year in office of far-right President Jair Bolsonaro.
The number of fires in the Amazon rainforest increased 30.5% in 2019 from the previous year, while deforestation rose 85%, according to recent data released by Brazil's space research agency INPE.
The Amazon, the world’s largest rainforest, is a bulwark against global warming because of the vast amounts of heat-trapping carbon dioxide it soaks up from the atmosphere. It also provides Brazil with hydropower, and its abundant rain provides irrigation-free agriculture.
