| Host Alex Wise Karla Mendes on Brazil’s For-Profit Fire Disaster Sea Change Radio, San Francisco (occasional source for TJR) Available at SCh's website cchange.net 2019 The Amazon is burning. And we’re not talking about the ubiquitous online store, although profit and commerce are just as involved. According to preliminary data from the Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE), deforestation of the Amazon rose 92 percent in the past year to 2,472 square miles – an area larger than the state of Delaware. And these fires, while posing a grave risk for wildfires, are not naturally-occurring. These are for-profit fires, intentionally set and on the rise, fueled by a right-wing government hostile to environmental interests.
