Why are Amazonian trees getting ‘fatter’?
How have the trees in Amazonia reacted to the rise in CO2 emissions in recent centuries? It is common knowledge that, of all greenhouse gases, CO2 is the most responsible for global warming. The most recent report released by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) showed that the concentration of carbon in Earth’s atmosphere rose more […]

Forests on Indigenous lands help protect health in the Amazon https://news.mongabay.com/short-article/2025/09/forests-on-indigenous-lands-help-protect-health-in-the-amazon/

Forests on Indigenous lands help protect health in the Amazon
Healthy forests are more than climate shields; in the Amazon, they also serve as public-health infrastructure. A Communications Earth & Environment study spanning two decades across the biome links the extent and legal status of Indigenous Territories to 27 respiratory, cardiovascular, and zoonotic or vector-borne diseases. The findings are complex, but one pattern is clear: […]

Ja, #Amazon, ich weiß auch echt nicht, wo Du sonst parken solltest - also außer vielleicht auf genau dem Parkplatz, auf dem Du mit über einem Meter nach vorne und hinten ganz entspannt so einparken könntest, wie Du es in der Fahrschule gelernt hast.
Dieses Verhalten ist nicht notgedrungen, sondern simple Rücksichtslosigkeit als fester Bestandteil des Geschäftsmodells.

‘Green’ diesel producer's supplier linked to Amazon deforestation
A U.S. renewable diesel refiner purchased tallow from slaughterhouses supplied by ranches fined for illegal clearing of Brazilian forests.

Gah, trying to just get a delivery date so I could order something timed to arrive next week and pressed the wrong button so accidentally ordered the thing and also Prime membership.
Fuckers tricked me into Prime for a month with their dark pattern constant asking and refusal to take no for an answer.

As Amazon's 'flying rivers' weaken with tree loss, scientists warn of worsening droughts
Droughts have withered crops in Peru, fires have scorched the Amazon and hydroelectric dams in Ecuador have struggled to keep the lights on as rivers dry up. Scientists say the cause may lie high above the rainforest, where invisible "flying rivers" carry rain from the Atlantic Ocean across South America.

What a story...

Amazon Rainforest hits record carbon emissions from 2024 forest fires
In 2024, the Amazon Rainforest underwent its most devastating forest fire season in more than two decades. According to a new study by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, the fire-driven forest degradation released an estimated 791 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2024, a sevenfold increase compared with the previous two years.

For a casual gamer like me, Luna is great, cheap, I can play on my large television or PC etc. Always good performance, no hardware necessary (besides a controller).
