Esto tiene una vacuna muy sencilla y es que la izquierda de la región se distancie claramente del chavismo, abandone el silencio cómplice y las falsas equivalencias y los enfrente con las herramientas disponibles como la mafia que son. Pero parece que es mucho pedir.

The GCP-Global Carbon Budget 2025, just published in its final form. It is the same data we released at the last COP-Nov 2025, but given the many improvements this budget introduced compared to previous editions, it underwent a longer and more detailed peer review process.

🌲A global analysis of 6,550 observations shows that mixed-species plantations increase soil carbon and water holding capacity by about 10.5%. The greatest gains occur in conifer broadleaf mixtures in warm, wet climates through better soil structure 👉️ https://t.co/g4ePKno0BU

A regional analysis brought together data on wild-animal consumption by more than 12,000 households, to investigate trends and drivers of wild-meat use across Central Africa.

“Generally speaking, a good year is a good year,” said Matt Hansen, ... director of @UMD_GLAD, which contributed forest-loss data to the report. “But you need good years forever if you’re going to conserve the tropical rainforest.”

Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available

And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot.

It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles.

But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer.

I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.

🌍 New from @UMD_GLAD: global annual maps of cropland dynamics (2015–2024) at 30m resolution.
Key insight: cropland ↑ ~6% in a decade, but per capita ↓, highlighting food security pressures.

I'm a data scientist @OurWorldinData and I need help from a botanist or someone local to Kyoto, Japan! 🌸

We present one of the world’s longest climate records: 1,200 years of peak cherry blossom dates in Kyoto.

The researcher who maintained it, Professor Yasuyuki Aono, sadly passed away last year.

@venepoetics La mayoría de los que conozco fueron súper chavistas desde el principio. Pasaron de “mi comandante Chávez” a “mi catire Trump” sin ningún pudor y tienen el “valor” de endilgarle la etiqueta de “comunista” al resto de los mortales que vemos con recelo las políticas de Trump 🤡
