How Amazon Deforestation Rainfall Loss Is Worsening as Climate Change Dries the Rainforest

The Amazon rainforest is often called the "lungs of the Earth," but scientists say its role goes far beyond producing oxygen. The massive rainforest also acts like a natural climate engine, helping generate rainfall across South America while storing enormous amounts of carbon dioxide. Now, new research suggests that Amazon deforestation rainfall patterns are weakening faster than expected, and climate change is speeding up the process.
