Last year, climate change-fueled fires burned 18 soccer pitches of forest every minute—a completely unsustainable trajectory. On may 15th 2025, smoke from Manitoba, Canada fires even reached the Mediterranean. #ClimateCrisis#Wildfires
Earth Nears Irreversible Climate Tipping Points
The scientists concluded that there is a 62% chance of triggering at least one tipping point, and nine tipping elements have more than a 50% probability of being crossed. https://t.co/YSoRPrjCm3
Few people know about this brutal deforestation technique called “correntão”, where tractors with huge chains raze the land cutting trees, destroying long standing ecosystems on a whim.

The trend is unmistakable:
Breaking News!
Code Yikes!
February is now complete, and recorded an average monthly temperature anomaly of 1.60°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline.
This ranked 3rd hottest February on record, behind 2016 (1.64°C) and 2024 (1.78°C), which were both El Nino years.
Nail, meet head. They systematically destroy trust. The truth is rare and costly. Lies are cheap. Silicone Valley learned this. This is how the right has been indoctrinated.

When is MAGA going to wake up and realise that this machine they elected is aiming to crush the American people and spirit through unmitigated wealth extraction to the super-rich
Watch this short exchange, in which the nominee to be Secretary of Education says that the Trump Administration may micromanage what school clubs can exist and what history courses schools can teach. Perhaps the most stunning federal takeover of education in our history.
