If Flávio Bolsonaro wins the second round (which seems likely), he'll be able to govern with enormous backing in Congress You can expect Brazil to be fully on board with Trump's Great War on Drugs. Amnesty for Jair Bolsonaro and the coup-mongering generals also likely www.bbc.com/news/article...

Check out the gorgeous vermiculation on the feathers of the rufous scrub bird - in the dense ground-cover they hide in their colours make them effectively invisible. Their camouflage is SO good that they can afford to have incredibly loud voices and predators still can’t get them

The latest IPCC projections for the next 75 years is a joke. We will cross 1.8C by 2029. We will cross 2.0C by long before 2039. Our oceans already contain the excess heat energy to make this happen, even if we cut fossil fuels to zero today. We must cut fossil fuels to zero extremely fast.
