How can a rainforest be on fire, ffs? Surely it's too wet?
Have you really not been to a rainforest, B. You really should. Stunning things. Where's got torched?

It's a bit like a mullet. Wet up top, drier underneath the canopy.
Lots of lovely rotting vegetation around as well.

I've always understood that the occasional forest fire is a good thing :shrug:

I think it depends on the forest tbh. Rainforests don't lack for nuitrients, as I understand things.

An area the size of Wales every week wasn't it? That was 15 years ago.....now, I don't claim to be the World's greatest mathematician but that must be the entire globe by now?

Only 3% of the globe, or 10% of the landmass. But if rain forest is 2% of the whole surface area it would take about 9.5 years for it all to go at that rate. So we actually ran out rain forest five years ago. FACT.
