Record fires are raging in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest, with more than 2,500 fires currently burning. They are collectively emitting huge amounts of carbon, with smoke plumes visible thousands of kilometers away. The growing number of fires are the result of illegal forest clearing to create land for farming. Fires are set deliberately and spread easily in the dry season. (more…)

“I live in Lanier Heights and for the past few weeks, we’ve noticed birds (not bats, like some initially thought) start to congregate and circle around the building around sundown. This dance starts with a few dozen and in 20 minutes there are thousands flying in circles in one direction then quickly switching course, moving around slightly until they abruptly start flying into the chimney of the building next door.
