Deforestation in the Amazon grows in 2022 and reaches the worst mark in Inpe’s historical series

The deforestation of the Amazon continues to break new negative records. Data from the Space Research Institute (Inpe) show that the accumulated number of deforestation alerts in the Legal Amazon was 10.267 km², from January until December 30, 2022, which is equivalent to the devastation of 3 thousand football fields per day . This is the worst mark in the annual historical series of Deter, the institute's Real-Time Deforestation Detection system.

➡️ A team of American scientists invented a system that could allow the capture of oceanic moisture to transform it into drinking water, according to a study published in the journal Nature. Instead of being lost in the atmosphere, the water-saturated air would be captured by extraction structures, located on the coasts, to then be condensed and transported through ducts to suitable deposits.. Too much, right? 😍

➡️ Petrobras signed an agreement with Águas do Rio, concessionaire responsible for public water supply and sewage services in 27 municipalities in the state of Rio de Janeiro, for the industrial operations of the Duque de Caxias Refinery (REDUC) and the Polo Gaslub, in Itaboraí, both in the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro, will be supplied with reused water. ♻️

➡️ Half of Earth's glaciers are doomed to disappear by the end of the century due to climate change, according to a study released this Thursday (5). The work, published by the renowned magazine “Science”, offers the most accurate projections to date about the future of around 215 thousand glaciers. The study authors warn of the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which cause climate change, in order to limit melting ice and the consequent rise in sea levels. 🏔️
