Our new paper out today:
“Emergency policies are not enough to resolve Amazonia’s fire crises”

Remember when the sky in São Paulo got dark in the middle of the afternoon because of dense smoke clouds created by fires in the Amazon in 2019? https://t.co/wMwfCvUvTN

#BREAKING: For the first time, we’ve lived through 12 straight months with global warming of 1.5°C.

We haven’t passed the 1.5°C goal of the #ParisAgreement, but it’s a huge warning sign that we’re getting close.

We must do more to tackle the #ClimateCrisis, fast. 🚨

“This work further documents the quality crisis on today’s market, which affects many project types, and also provides clear methods for modifying cookstoves methodologies to avoid over-crediting, and for trading in quality credits in the mean time.” https://t.co/vQ3Jl1TEvp

Para quem estiver por Londres, vai ser um prazer debater sobre os resultados da pesquisa que venho desenvolvendo desde 2020 com a professora @MaluGatto e que, em breve, vai virar livro!

[Fotos de Fatos @FotosDeFatos]

“Uma estudante perguntou uma vez à antropóloga Margaret Mead qual considerava o primeiro sinal de civilização em uma cultura. A estudante esperava que a antropóloga falasse de anzóis, bacias de barro ou pedras para amolar, mas não. Mead disse que o primeiro sinal de civilização numa cultura antiga é a prova de uma pessoa com um fêmur quebrado e curado.

Mead explicou que no resto do reino animal, se você quebrar a perna, você morre. Você não pode fugir do perigo, ir para o rio beber água ou caçar para se alimentar. Você se torna carne fresca para predadores.

Nenhum animal sobrevive a uma perna quebrada o tempo suficiente para que o osso cure. Um fêmur quebrado que se curou é a prova de que alguém tirou o tempo para ficar com o que caiu, curou a lesão, colocou a pessoa em segurança e cuidou dele até que ele se recuperasse.

′′Ajudar alguém a passar pela dificuldade é o ponto de partida da civilização ", explicou Mead. “A civilização é uma ajuda comunitária."

The seeds of Shorea siamensis have a winged design that allows them to spin as they fall slowing their descent and allowing the wind to carry them further from the parent tree. A brilliant example of nature's ingenuity in seed dispersal!
