Aside from the optics, the Amazon fires are actually within yearly average, currently below.

Note the data comes from NASA, the biggest climate change/global warming/global cooling/ozone hole/etc cheerleader (depending on decade) of all...
So, MSM and climate hysteria politics have been hyping up the "fires" as evidence of "climate change". Also political, as Bolsonario is Brazil's Trump.
Sorry, its pretty much the cycle of life (mainly the deforestation caused by Amazon native farmers, but in reality, pretty normal).
In CA, the fires are "caused" by zealous environmentalists vehemently against forest management (similar to weed garden management, except on a geographic scare). The idea is to thin out the old dried out trees and create defensive lines near residential areas to minimize the extent of damage. Instead, we have huge wildfires across Napa. And yet they blame PG&E 100%.
Nature does this by itself to remove dead trees, instead we end up magnifying Nature's intent.
Not to mention in drought country, CA has to block billions of gallons of fresh water from consumption, all for the sake of several minimal animal species such as the delta smelt.
Rampant environmental militarism. Sigh....
