What is the biggest environmental problem in the Amazon Plain? What effect will it have?

The Amazon plain suffered the worst drought in 60 years, and water and medicine began to be sent to the towns in this area. The authorities extended the scope of the state of emergency to the downstream areas. At the same time, Greenpeace, an environmental protection organization, pointed out that they believed that the drought in the Amazon Plain was caused by cutting down trees and the greenhouse effect, and the relevant argument was recognized by some authoritative scientists. However, government researchers have different views. They blamed the drought on the unusually high temperature in the Atlantic Ocean.

In arid areas, countless lakes and rivers have become continuous gravel and dry soil. The ship ran aground and there were dead fish everywhere in the hot sun. Residents who rely entirely on river transportation and food can only wait for the government to airlift supplies.

The official priority is to transport fresh water to prevent the outbreak of diarrhea and other diseases. The Amazon state government has now extended the state of emergency to all 665,438+0 autonomous regions in the state, as the drought has further affected the downstream towns.

Meanwhile, Greenpeace, an environmental organization, quoted scientists as saying that people thought that the drought in the Amazon Plain was caused by cutting down trees and the greenhouse effect. Greenpeace said that cutting down and burning trees raised the temperature of the whole Amazon region and hindered the formation of clouds.

Government forecasters pointed out that the unusually high temperature in the Atlantic Ocean is also the cause of the recent wind disaster, which they believe is a natural cycle; But some scientists hold different views that global warming has changed weather patterns.
