The Lungs Of Earth Drying Up, Amazon’s Shrinking Rainfall Rings A Deadly Alarm For Humanity
Rainfall in Amazon forests is steadily declining, raising drought risks. Research links deforestation and global warming as main causes, threatening global climate and warning of devastating dangers in the future.
International News: The Amazon forest, which is called the "breath of the earth", is today struggling for its breath. Research has revealed that three-fourths of the decreasing rainfall is due to cutting down trees. This means that man has with his own hands disrupted the balance that had been maintained for centuries. This rapid pace of cutting is stopping the blessings pouring from the sky. Research says that global warming is also playing an important role, but its effect is less than that of cutting down trees.
Greenhouse gases like carbon and methane have a gradual effect, but the effect of the destruction of forests is visible immediately and locally. This change is a direct attack on the lives of the communities and settlements there.
Change in rainfall pattern
Between 1985 and 2020, the average rainfall during the dry season decreased by 21 mm every year. About 16 mm of this was due to felling of trees alone. Not only this, the temperature also increased by 2 degrees Celsius during the dry season. This is an indication that the weather system is changing.
Monsoon was also affected
Scientists say that deforestation has changed the pattern of South American monsoons. Droughts are worsening in many parts of Brazil. In 2023 and 2024, the Amazon saw a drought that slowed down the flow of rivers and even halted power generation. These circumstances show how important every part of the forest is to us.
Image of fire and destruction
In 2024, on one hand, the felling of trees decreased, but fire destroyed lakhs of hectares of forest. This fire was further fueled by record heat and the most severe drought. The forest that people considered "paradise" is now filled with smoke and silence. This is not just the loss of the forest but the loss of the entire humanity.
Threat of drought and doom by 2035
If this situation continues, then by 2035, rainfall will decrease and heat will increase. This will affect more than 11,000 tree species and the lives of millions of people. This pain of Amazon is a lesson for the whole world that if humans do not stop now, then doomsday-like situations are not far away.
