'A' is for Arid Argentina

 

Yet another indication of climate change? Argentina's major 'wetland' ecosystems, the Parana river grasslands, have reportedly been burning for months (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jul/30/argentina-delta-fires-rage-out-of-control-parana-river). This delta region has been greatly influenced by cattle ranching (with its associated methane production) but has also been subjected to an extended period with little or no rainfall. It's always hard to ascribe a cause(s) to an event like this but the wetland used to be wet.
