The Race to Save the Amazon: Top Brazilian Scientist Says Rainforest Is at "Tipping Point"
The Race to Save the Amazon: Top Brazilian Scientist Says Rainforest Is at "Tipping Point"
As we broadcast from the COP30 climate summit in Belém, Brazil, we are joined by one of Brazil’s most prominent scientists, Carlos Nobre, who says the Amazon now produces more carbon emissions than it removes from the atmosphere, moving closer to a “tipping point” after which it will be impossible to save the world’s largest rainforest. “We need urgently to get to zero deforestation in all Brazilian biomes, especially the Amazon,” he argues. Nobre is a senior researcher at the Institute of Advanced Studies at the University of São Paulo and co-chair of the Scientific Panel for the Amazon. He’s lead author of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for its reports on global warming.

The stats for the jobs market, private and government borrowing and housing certainly show that America, the world’s largest economy, is entering recessionary territory. World socialism becomes ever more necessary, writes Ted Reese

The hidden brain bias that makes some lies so convincing
The hidden brain bias that makes some lies so convincing
People are more likely to believe lies when there’s the possibility of a reward. Neuroimaging shows that the brain shifts into reward or risk mode depending on whether the context involves a gain or a loss. Friends show synchronized brain activity that can predict successful deception. Social bonds and incentives can subtly warp how we judge honesty.
