Esto tiene una vacuna muy sencilla y es que la izquierda de la región se distancie claramente del chavismo, abandone el silencio cómplice y las falsas equivalencias y los enfrente con las herramientas disponibles como la mafia que son. Pero parece que es mucho pedir.

Across the LatAm region rightwing candidates have played the “vote left and this country becomes Venezuela” card enormously effectively.

The GCP-Global Carbon Budget 2025, just published in its final form. It is the same data we released at the last COP-Nov 2025, but given the many improvements this budget introduced compared to previous editions, it underwent a longer and more detailed peer review process.

🌲A global analysis of 6,550 observations shows that mixed-species plantations increase soil carbon and water holding capacity by about 10.5%. The greatest gains occur in conifer broadleaf mixtures in warm, wet climates through better soil structure 👉️ buff.ly/U3sA2l4

“Generally speaking, a good year is a good year,” said Matt Hansen, ... director of @UMD_GLAD, which contributed forest-loss data to the report. “But you need good years forever if you’re going to conserve the tropical rainforest.”

Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M research papers and made them freely available
And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot.
It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles.
But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer.
I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.

🌍 New from @UMD_GLAD: global annual maps of cropland dynamics (2015–2024) at 30m resolution.
Key insight: cropland ↑ ~6% in a decade, but per capita ↓, highlighting food security pressures.

I'm a data scientist @OurWorldinData and I need help from a botanist or someone local to Kyoto, Japan! 🌸
We present one of the world’s longest climate records: 1,200 years of peak cherry blossom dates in Kyoto.
The researcher who maintained it, Professor Yasuyuki Aono, sadly passed away last year.
