Description:

This image is an appeal to the whole world. Brazil has had almost 160,000 fires this year, out of control due to drought, lack of rain and arson. Brazilian fauna and flora are dying. Today, leaving home, the image was taken at 4:22 pm and shows a cloudless sky, with the Sun at approximately 20 degrees above sea level, with a reddish color, similar to blood, although it would normally have a yellow tone, associated with a grayish sky, due to the large amount of smoke in the city of São Paulo. This phenomenon causes a reflection, reducing the sun's rays, filtering out some colors. Exactly on today's date, 09/09/2024, according to the Swiss agency IQAir, São Paulo had the worst air quality in the world.
