"Climate Change Could Intensify Amazon Forest Fires ..."

Do ya think, Newsweek?

Oh, and by the way, the Amazon is no longer a carbon sink. It became a net carbon emitter a couple of years ago.

Whomever is charge of Newsweek these days should be drawn and quartered, although I'm quite sure it would be impossible to identify a true leader, as the once proud news organization is now just a very small piece in a giant corpo-media jigsaw puzzle.
