However, the recent increased occurrence of tropical rainforest fires is most likely attributed to an INCREASE IN GLOBAL TEMPERATURES, LEADING TO A 20% REDUCTION IN RAINFALL. This is because an increase in the global atmospheric temperature causes the reduction of the amount of rainfall, which naturally helps curb the occurrence of forest fires.
