A Amazônia está próxima de atingir um ponto crítico de degradação ambiental que pode resultar em mudanças irreversíveis para o bioma, alerta Carlos Nobre, meteorologista e pesquisador pioneiro no estudo do fenômeno da savanização da região, em entrevista ao CNN Novo Dia.

O cientista, que iniciou suas pesquisas no final dos anos 1980, quando a Amazônia apresentava apenas 7% de área desmatada, revela que atualmente o desmatamento atinge entre 17% e 18% de toda a região, chegando a 22% na porção brasileira do bioma. (..)

Se o ponto de não-retorno for ultrapassado, Nobre adverte que entre 30 e 50 anos cerca de 70% da floresta amazônica pode ser perdida. O pesquisador ressalta que o bioma desenvolveu, ao longo de milhões de anos, mecanismos únicos de estabilidade climática, tendo absorvido mais de 150 bilhões de toneladas de carbono. (..)

Su papel como relatora especial de Naciones Unidas para los territorios palestinos ocupados ha cobrado relevancia a raíz de la masacre perpetrada por el ejército de Netanyahu en Gaza.

Não foi desta vez que os países reunidos para a Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre as Mudanças Climáticas atacaram o cerne do problema à altura da emergência climática. O acordo final da COP30 não menciona a necessidade de um roteiro para os países diminuírem a dependência dos combustíveis fósseis. No lugar, foi lançada uma iniciativa para debater o assunto entre os países.

Jura? Mas por quê só pensou nisso depois, e não antes, da COP30?

The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese has warned that the recent UN Security Council resolution on Gaza violates the UN Charter and the Palestinian right to self-determination.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Albanese said that the resolution "betrays the people it claims to protect", entrenches the Israeli occupation's ongoing unlawful policies and practices and contributes to legitimizing continued mass violence.

She said the mandate to "secure borders protect civilians and decommission weapons" focuses almost exclusively on disarming Palestinian armed groups while taking no steps to end the root causes of violence: the ongoing unlawful siege, occupation, apartheid and ethnic cleansing practiced by the Israeli Occupation.

Israel has destroyed more than 1,500 buildings in areas of Gaza that have remained under its control since the ceasefire with Hamas started on 10 October, satellite images reviewed by BBC Verify show. The new photos - the latest of which was taken on 8 November - show that entire neighbourhoods controlled by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been levelled in less than a month, apparently through demolitions. The actual number of destroyed buildings could be significantly higher, with satellite imagery for some areas being unavailable for BBC Verify's assessment.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/06/meta-reportedly-projected-10percent-of-2024-sales-came-from-scam-fraud-ads.html

Meta projected that 10% of its overall sales in 2024, or about $16 billion, came from running online ads for scams and banned goods, according to a Thursday report from Reuters.

Those kinds of ads included promotions for “fraudulent e-commerce and investment schemes, illegal online casinos and the sale of banned medical products,” according to the Reuters report, which was based on internal company documents. Those documents showed the company’s attempts to measure the prevalence of fraudulent advertising on its apps like Facebook and Instagram.

Meta brought in more than $164.5 billion in overall sales for 2024. Last week, the company said that third-quarter sales rose 26% year-over-year to $51.24 billion and that it lifted the low end of its total expenses for the year by $2 billion as part of its massive investments into artificial intelligence.

The Reuters report cited a December 2024 document that showed how Meta each year generates roughly $7 billion in annualized sales from so-called “higher risk” scam ads, which are promotions that are clearly deceptive. Each day, Meta shows users an estimated 15 billion of these higher risk scam ads, the Reuters report said, citing a separate document.

Although some of the documents show that Meta aims to reduce the amount of bogus ads on its platform, the Reuters report also said that other documents suggest the company is concerned that its business projections could be impacted by any abrupt removal of the fraudulent promotions. (..)

A fala do negociador Richard Muyungi, da Tanzânia, expõe uma das maiores contradições do debate climático global: enquanto países desenvolvidos pressionam por metas de descarbonização e adoção de veículos elétricos, quase metade da população africana ainda vive no escuro, sem acesso sequer à energia básica para cozinhar, estudar ou trabalhar.

Muyungi destacou que o continente africano enfrenta uma crise estrutural de energia, com redes elétricas frágeis, alto custo de expansão e dependência de fontes fósseis, mesmo tendo grande potencial em renováveis como solar e eólica. Para ele, antes de cobrar metas de eletrificação “verde”, é preciso garantir que a energia chegue a quem nunca teve. A prioridade deve ser o desenvolvimento, a infraestrutura e a inclusão energética, não apenas a substituição tecnológica.

Sem acesso universal à eletricidade, qualquer “transição energética” será apenas um privilégio de poucos. A justiça climática começa garantindo energia limpa e acessível para todos, não deixando quase meio continente para trás.

Aviso de incêndio: democracia planetária

“(..) After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him. And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power.

This is not only how we stop Trump; it’s how we stop the next one. So, Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up.

We will hold bad landlords to account because the Donald Trumps of our city have grown far too comfortable taking advantage of their tenants. We will put an end to the culture of corruption that has allowed billionaires like Trump to evade taxation and exploit tax breaks. We will stand alongside unions and expand labor protections because we know, just as Donald Trump does, that when working people have ironclad rights, the bosses who seek to extort them become very small indeed.

New York will remain a city of immigrants: a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant.

So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us. (..)”

President Donald Trump hosted a Great Gatsby-themed party at Mar-A-Lago on Oct. 31, as multiple federal judges ruled the administration could not stop funding food aid amid the ongoing government shutdown. The party was labeled "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody" according to multiple media attendees. The title was drawn from a song on the soundtrack of the 2013 movie adaptation of "The Great Gatsby."

“(..) Allegations of athletes’ betting on games in their own leagues are multiplying. Six in 10 Americans now express skepticism about the integrity of sport, wondering whether players, referees and coaches are throwing games.

All the while, gambling addiction is quietly growing, leaving a trail of financial ruin, debt and shame.

Thirty-seven percent of American adults — and 60 percent of avid fans — say they have placed a bet on sports. Nearly half of men ages 18 to 49 report having an online sports betting account.

We see gambling everywhere now — in our soaring stock market, the booms and busts of Bitcoin, the rise of techno-oligarchs like Elon Musk. The democratic process itself can now effectively be wagered on. (..)
