Original: Climate change is warming the Amazon by 1.4C

New reporting indicates human-driven climate change has raised temperatures across the Amazon rainforest by 1.4 degrees Celsius. The figure highlights the accelerating heating of one of the world's most important ecosystems, which plays a key role in regulating the global climate and stores vast amounts of carbon.
