The worst drought on Earth in the last century happened on 24 October, 2005 in Manaus, capital of Amazon. The government scientists says it is mainly caused by warmer ocean temperatures. As the result, the Amazon River floodplains have dried up and people are walking and using bicycles on areas in which canoes and riverboats used to be the only means of transport, Greenpeace Amazon campaigners have observed.
