Forests don’t just store carbon. They keep people alive, scientists say For decades, a dominant argument for protecting forests has focused on carbon. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, store it in wood and soils, and slow the accumulation of greenhouse gases. A new scientific…

A new Science review finds forests do more than store carbon — they cool air, stabilize rainfall & buffer extreme heat.

Clearing forests can quickly create hotter, drier conditions & raise heat-related health risks. Protecting forests is vital not just for emissions cuts, but climate adaptation.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Why Is Brazil’s Climate Fund Giving Hundreds of Millions to Big Ag? Almost $500 million has flowed from the Climate Fund to corn ethanol projects from companies with environmental violations.

Pumped for this @intercept.com.br + @drilledmedia.bsky.social collab looking at Brazil's corn ethanol boom (and the role the U.S. has played in it). First story now, in English on our site &Portuguese on the Intercept Brasil site:

Biofuels pose high risk to Lula's roadmap away from fossil fuels Brazilian president Lula's call to move away from fossil fuels may boost biofuels and cause forest destruction

#COP30 must deliver a clear #roadmap for the transition away from #fossilfuels. That will not come easily. This is where the real fight begins.

For @climatechangenews.com, I detail why we need a roadmap, what a roadmap mandate could do - and why it must not be hijacked by Brazil’s #biofuels agenda.

A cobertura de SUMAÚMA na COP30, a 1ª conferência do clima na Amazônia, começa nas águas do Rio Tapajós com quase 100 lideranças indígenas, quilombolas e ribeirinhas, cientistas, jornalistas e artistas da Floresta e da Academia para discutir os temas centrais do colapso climático

Look Out for These 8 Big Ag Greenwashing Terms at COP30 Food and farming companies will claim agriculture is the solution to the climate crisis at the Brazil summit — even though the sector drives a third of global warming.

Agriculture drives about 1/3 of GHG emissions around the world, and Brazil has made it a priority at next month’s COP30. This increased pressure is fueling disinfo and greenwashing... By @rachelsherrington.bsky.social and @hazelhealy.bsky.social.

At #COP30 next month in Brazil, the animal ag (and broader ag) industry is likely to be as active as the fossil fuel guys obstructing commitments to emissions reductions. I got a crash course on how they work from the great @profsecchi.bsky.social and Kathrin Lauber and terrific new @cssn.org book

Something this book really drilled home (scuse the pun) is that we're not stalled out on climate because scientists didn't model hard enough or campaigners didn't come up with the perfect message, but because the world's most powerful spent gazillions to sabotage action.

Israel’s ecocide in Gaza sends this message: even if we stopped dropping bombs, you couldn’t live here | George Monbiot Consider the annihilation of agricultural land alongside the genocide – and grasp the chilling totality of this attempt to eliminate all life, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

“When you consider the ecocide alongside the genocide, you begin to grasp the totality of the Israeli state’s attempt to eliminate both the Palestinians and their homeland.”

Mighty Earth responds to EUDR delay proposal - Mighty Earth The European Commission has proposed delaying the European Union’s flagship forest protection law for the second year in a row.

We need the EUDR.

This proposal – at a time when we are experiencing a climate, nature and deforestation crisis and after the record-breaking fires in Europe this summer – should be firmly rejected.

A cidade de Gaza está sendo tomada pelo exército terrorista de Israel neste momento. Estão bombardeando TODOS E TUDO. Todas as imagens de Gaza City que temos vão, daqui pra frente, se tornar arquivos. Desaparecem não somente os palestinos, desaparece a humanidade inteira nesse genocídio.

Email de hoje do banco Itaú: quer investir sem pagar imposto? Então tem petróleo, agronegócio, mineração, tudo uma maravilha. E notem o detalhe do ano de vencimento: 2040!!! Business as usual na veia! O capitalismo está pouco ligando pro mundo 😡

Israel’s Attacks on Seed Banks Destroy Millennia of Palestinian Cultural Heritage When Israel targets Palestinian seed banks, it’s not just destroying buildings. It’s attacking the future itself.

“Ecocide operates through the creation of permanent dependency and vulnerability. By destroying the biological foundation of Palestinian food sovereignty, occupying forces ensure that resistance cannot take root — literally — in future generations.”
