At this writing the South American countries are still being affected by the El Niño which will last until April. Hopefully the rainy season will start and the wildfires would be stopped.
This issue we have concentrated on Amazon, which is the world’s largest tropical rainforest. It is suffered by droughts and the waterflow of its largest river Rio Negro, and its tributaries are at their lowest water level.
We came to know that California has been trying to set for the standard of the U.S. climate policies and they are standing against the oil companies and its industrial groups. They have taken an important stances and want to set the right direction for going forward.
In recent months we read so much about the water level of the Panama Canal that has reduce the numbers of vessels to pass through. Again, we are waiting for the rainy season to start.
The piece of report about Canada can be quite interesting to read. Its forestry industry is very important to the country and it seemed to have plans to improve this sector.
It is a kind of relief to read that although we have the hottest year on record for 2024, we were only 1.2 or 1.3° Celsius warmer since the Industrial Revolution.
