Saw the 'Civil War' movie last night

For me, the most traumatic scene occurred when a character with a weapon asked Wagner Moura what newspaper he worked for. He replied 'Reuters,' which led to a brief back and forth, with Moura ultimately explaining, 'It's a news agency'

A scientific expedition last month found at least 532 dead Adelie penguins, with thousands more thought to have died. Could it be bird flu? Jake Spring reuters.com/business/healt…

Has bird flu already killed hundreds, if not thousands of penguins in Antarctica?

A scientist told Reuters that they found 532 dead Adelie penguins frozen solid in sub-zero temperatures and covered in snow on Heroina Island.

While it was a decline from 2022, last year the world lost about 37,000 square kilometers (14,000 square miles) of tropical primary forest, an area nearly as big as Switzerland and larger than the U.S. state of Maryland. via Jake Spring @reuters reuters.com/world/tropical…

Informative article on why we seeing so many major fires recently in northern Amazon (Venezuela in this case)

'Man-made fires that are often set to clear land for agriculture are spreading out of control thanks to high temperatures and low rainfall'

Venezuela is being hit by record fires this year, double the number seen in Brazil despite being much smaller in size. Many are in its Amazon rainforest region.

Who needs Bolsonaro or Macron. Clearly the most important Brazil news this week is that the Packers might be coming to play in Sao Paulo this September.
