I realise people like to dunk on COP in general and Brazil's determination to hold COP30 in a city without adequate infrastructure in particular, but this story about a new road "cutting through the Amazon" seems out of proportion to me… (see gif)

Are tropical forests in the Americas changing as adaptation to ongoing climate change? Yes, they are! Are these changes enough to track their suitable climate? Not quite! Check out our paper in @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... to see more of what our network has been working on!

We quantify, map, and analyze wood density across tropical South America. The analysis led by Martin Sullivan refines the east-west Amazon gradient in wood density, revealing much finer variation and extends to Andean, dry, and Atlantic forests @forestplots.bsky.social nature.com/articles/s41...

Brazil’s Atlantic Forest is bleeding. Mature forest loss is accelerating, threatening biodiversity and ecosystem integrity. Secondary vegetation dominates now, but it can't replace old-growth functions. Urgent conservation action needed. #Deforestation #LandUseChange #AgroExpansion #WeakGovernance

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.
