Amazon soy pact collapse could add 1.4 million hectares of deforestation by 2036 #Amazon

Amazon soy pact collapse could add 1.4 million hectares of deforestation by 2036
The collapse of a landmark Amazon soy pact will drive at least 1.4 million hectares (3.5 million acres) of extra deforestation in Brazil over the next decade, releasing carbon emissions equal to Canada's annual output, according to an analysis published Thursday.

New-to-science Amazon frog stands out for its slow ‘lazy’ song
Scientists recently described a new species of a tiny brown frog found in the Amazonian floodplain forests of Ecuador and northwestern Brazil. It looks nearly identical to related species but its slow, widely spaced out call sets it apart, researchers note in a study. “I’ve had to get into arguments because people said the frog […]

As Amazon oil drilling begins, scientists warn of risks to a little-known reef
The Amazon region always invites superlatives: the world’s largest tropical forest, the planet’s largest continuous mangrove belt, the river with the largest water volume and length on Earth. That makes any kind of exploratory activity in the region — and its potential impacts on this unique ecosystem — cause for great concern. That’s the case […]

Jeżeli są tu jacyś fani serialu #JackReacher to daje cynka, że w dniu premiery ostatniego odcinka bieżącego sezonu #Amazon #PrimeVideo wydało spin-off o #Neagley. Od razu cały sezon wypuścili.

Oh now this is the best tech news I have heard for awhile…. Is a Mega-Enron situation about to happen to a bunch of the Magnificient Seven?
“Like Enron, they’re using special purpose vehicles, or off-balance sheet arrangements such as legally distinct subsidiaries, as a way to make their financial reporting look healthier than it actually is — often a glaring sign that something is deeply amiss behind the scenes.”
Also… is this why Apple effectively outsourced its AI, rather than build its own. If so, it could be the smartest tech hedge of the century.

A while ago I rescued all my ebooks from amazon and converted all of them to epubs. Except one. So today I spent an hour trying to pry it from the cold evil hands of the Bezos and finally succeeded. Fuck you big tech, and the horse you rode in on.
Oh this was the book; I highly recommend it.

It costs creators in bandwidth/CPU as money, and all of us as climate change. It would take a few hours of engineering time to improve this by (say) orders of magnitude.

Data centre boom drove Amazon’s emissions up 16% in 2025
According to its latest sustainability report, Amazon's absolute emissions across all scopes rose 16% in 2025, following a 6% increase the year before. The rise was largely driven by building and data centre construction.
