🌡️In cities around the world, extreme heat is no longer a short-term event or seasonal disruption. It’s a growing daily pressure that is reshaping how people live, move and work — and it’s getting worse.
#WRIExplains the cascading impacts of heat in cities and offer tangible, scalable solutions that cities can use to develop effective, far-reaching strategies here👉 https://t.co/ufiyNydE1S
Richard Feynman -
"Trees are sunlight made solid."
FORESTS are "the lungs of the Earth."
When sunlight, AIR, water, and the living systems of the planet work together… they quite literally turn LIGHT into LIFE.
Deforestation, net zero carbon... what effect on us of TIPPING this balance?
🌍#WRIExplains: The Land-Use Climate Change Feedback Loop👉 https://t.co/1HrhKhkJrI
Land-use change is a big driver of global warming—deforestation and agriculture alone cause nearly 25% of human-made greenhouse gas emissions.
🌳😌🌇The cooling power of trees starts with shade.
When surfaces like pavement, rooftops and buildings are exposed to direct sunlight, they absorb and store heat, releasing it back into the air long after the sun goes down. Trees interrupt that process. They shade sidewalks, streets and people, preventing surfaces from heating up in the first place. They also cool the surrounding air through evapotranspiration, the release of water vapor from leaves.

🍃Trees can make it feel up to 14 degrees cooler. Yet analysis shows many cities are not using them to full potential.
As city leaders are searching for solutions that are effective, affordable and scalable, trees can provide just that👉 https://t.co/KzZwhQrhWZ
🏢🌿Nature-based solutions have a lot to offer cities, like:
☀️Reduced extreme heat
💧Improved water security
🌱New green jobs
Through a combination of upland foresting and urban greening, watershed restoration efforts are already starting to deliver positive results in three African cities➡️ https://t.co/rg1EDUUfVV

Necesito ayuda para que @AXAMexico responda por el seguro de mi madre. Le están negando su cobertura para la atención de una trombosis porque supuestamente tiene otra enfermedad que no tiene nada que ver con lo que le pasó. ¡Claramente ni el reporte médico han leído!
Leo que para viviendas en clima cálido se va a ofrecer sistemas fotovoltaicos.
Si es así, es un error, porque primero hay que mejorar su envolvente, lo cual es más barato, rentable y sustentable y puede reducir el consumo hasta en 60%, y luego ponerle las celdas.
#PalabraDelDía | delirio
Así usó esta palabra Rubén Darío en «Prosas profanas y otros poemas»:
«¿Vienes? Me llega aquí, pues que suspiras,
un soplo de las mágicas fragancias
que hicieran los delirios de las liras
en las Grecias, las Romas y las Francias».
Deniers going crazy at cold in Europe saying Global Warming does not exist
Reality Global warming has weakened Polar Vortex which can create a weak jet stream pattern, unlocking cold air, normally confined to Arctic which can now escape from polar regions into USA and Europe
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Andy Rourke after a lengthy illness with pancreatic cancer.
Andy will be remembered as a kind and beautiful soul by those who knew him and as a supremely gifted musician by music fans.
We request privacy at this sad time
Happy #AnimationDay
We want to take a moment to thank our University @UPGdl for supporting this passion project of ours.
The Animation and Gaming industries can greatly benefit from schools empowering the artists of tomorrow.
Thank you, everyone, for believing in us.
“Dura menos un hombre que una vela,
pero la tierra prefiere su lumbre
para seguir el paso de los astros…”

La voz cabalística ABRACADABRA apareció escrita en el siglo II inscrita en amuletos, en los cuales el término aparecía once veces, cada vez reduciéndose más hasta terminar con una "a".
¿Quién usaba estos amuletos y de dónde viene la palabra? Lo explicamos aquí 👇
