and the natural warming.

Many fires are started deliberately to clear land for agriculture, making it difficult to disentangle the two.But the drought provided ideal conditions for fires to spread out of control, with Brazil and Bolivia most badly affected.While only a single year, it fits the expected pattern of more intense tropical fires in a warming world.

"I think we are in a new phase, where it's not just the clearing for agriculture that's the main driver," said Rod Taylor of the World Resources Institute (WRI), which is also behind the latest report."Now we have this new amplifying effect, which is a real climate change feedback loop, where fires are just much more intense and much more ferocious than they've ever been."

In total, the record loss of the world's old-growth (primary) tropical forests released 3.1 billion tonnes of planet-warming gases, the researchers estimate.

That's roughly the same as the emissions of the European Union.The following year, he and other local lawmakers passed rules against buildings blasting out hot air.

"Fortunately we put a stop to it," he says, noting that all but one Bitcoin mining operation left the city.Resistance to Bitcoin mines extends to places with the biggest Trump support.

Cyndie Roberson was retired and unaware of the crypto industry until a Bitcoin mining operation moved to her small town in North Carolina in 2021. The locals banded together and managed to ban new Bitcoin developments in their area - but the existing one was allowed to stay and the bitterness of the fight made her decide to move south, to Gilmer County in Georgia.There, Ms Roberson has campaigned against crypto mining in a region that is solidly pro-Republican. In the county where she lives, she says that around 1,000 people came to a public meeting to oppose a mine, which then wasn't allowed to operate.
