The Amazon rainforest is experiencing a severe drought attributed to climate change, impacting several countries. The drought is expected to last until 2026, potentially doubling the mortality rate of the rainforest's largest trees and releasing significant carbon emissions. The economic costs for Brazil are mounting, affecting agriculture, transportation, and industrial operations. The drought has disrupted access to food and medicine, impacting millions of tons off initial forecasts for next year's soybean crop.
