A series of studies, which are not peer-reviewed, have identified climate change as the primary cause of 2023's unprecedented record drought in Brazil's Amazon rainforest. Scientists warn that the droughts, which are setting off an 'accelerated desertification process' in the semi-arid regions of the country, are expected to triple in the coming years. The drought in the Amazon River basin has been made 30 times more likely due to human-caused climate change, according to rapid attribution studies. These findings underscore the severe impact of global warming on the region, leading to drained rivers, the death of endangered dolphins, and significant disruptions to the lives of millions of people.
