Political bullying is rarely as brutal as it was in Brazil this week when the environment minister Marina Silva was ambushed in a senate meeting. Her thuggish tormentors – all white male politicians on the infrastructure committee – took turns to publicly belittle the 67-year-old black woman, who has done more than anyone to protect the natural wealth of the country – the Amazon rainforest, Pantanal wetlands, Cerrado savannah and other biomes – from rapacious abuse.

Υπάρχει 80% πιθανότητα οι παγκόσμιες θερμοκρασίες να καταρρίψουν τουλάχιστον ένα ετήσιο ρεκόρ ζέστης μέσα στην επόμενη πενταετία, αυξάνοντας τον κίνδυνο ακραίων ξηρασιών, πλημμυρών και δασικών πυρκαγιών, σύμφωνα με νέα έκθεση του Παγκόσμιου Μετεωρολογικού Οργανισμού (WMO). Για πρώτη φορά, τα δεδομένα κατέδειξαν επίσης μια μικρή πιθανότητα ο κόσμος να βιώσει πριν από το 2030 ένα έτος, το οποίο θα είναι 2 βαθμούς Κελσίου θερμότερο από την προβιομηχανική εποχή.

Global temperatures could break heat record in next five years

1 week ago | theguardian.com | Jonathan Watts

There is an 80% chance that global temperatures will break at least one annual heat record in the next five years, raising the risk of extreme droughts, floods and forest fires, a new report by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has shown. For the first time, the data also indicated a small likelihood that before 2030, the world could experience a year that is 2C hotter than the preindustrial era, a possibility scientists described as “shocking”.
