@Seeker - I don't get called an angel, it's not a necessary description of me because haha I know more than most of my grade :/

Back to the issue debate thing...

The Amazon burns down every year, a bit of it at least, from lightning strikes. These burnings are normal and even help the ecosystem in ways. But now, in this huge increase of fires, it's because of the clearing out of land for farmers and ranchers, which was a controversial issue 3 years ago as well. The forest itself is incredibly wet and humid, lessening the chance of fire, but ranches and farming areas are not--they're incredibly dry and spread fires quickly, not to mention that they are being expanded, increasing the chance of lightning strikes occurring there and then spreading rapidly.

Financial aid and supplying aid, which is probably the most crucial at this point in time, is not being provided--not even from Brazil, because of its leader's skepticism towards the fires being a problem in the first place. I believe he thinks this is a plot to shame his country.
