Utopia

De malinha pronta

I wish I had wings to fly to a better place
I wish we could erase all the sadness
I wish I could open all the locked doors
I wish hope and peace were our best friends
I wish we knew how to end floods and fires
I wish I could give a voice to those who cannot speak
I wish we could heal the Earth
I wish I could shut down all the stupids
I wish cancer didn’t exist (or it was just an ugly word!)
I wish the earthquakes were only real in action movies
I wish Haiti would be a happy country again
I wish we could reset the world.

A Plea for Nature and Indigenous Peoples! And a message from a Yanomami shaman – Updated

«I thought that if the white people could hear me, they would convince the government to not let the forest be destroyed… Now the gold miners stink up the forest with the fumes from their motors and the vapors from the gold and mercury that they burn together. Now we fear the gold miners’ malaria, which is also very fierce…

The people of the forest’s breath of life are fragile in the face of these xawara epidemic fumes. If we all die, no one will be able to compensate for the value of our dead. The white people’s money and merchandise will not bring them back down among us! And the devastated forest will never be able to be restored either, it will be…

Covid and Brain Function

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

The new article in Science is one that I both expected and feared.

The findings are that Covid survivors, whether hospitalized or not, can show long term mental defects. “Long term” today means months after infection, because the disease hasn’t been around that long. What we don’t know is how long these effects linger, or whether some people never recover.

What we do know is that up to 30% of those hospitalized are affected, and that, six months after recovery, just about half of these remain unable to return to work. The brain is “fuzzy”, they many have difficulty reading screens or processing simple information and doing habitual tasks. Looking both ways when crossing the street becomes an issue. Leaving water boiling and forgetting about it becomes an issue. That’s for people in their 30s, not 90s.

Unfortunately, an unknown percentage of people who are never treated for the initial…

Climate Change: China Plans 43 New Coal-Fired Power Plants | Time (Me: Reforestation and being “green” Just PR)

China is leading the world in new coal power plants, building more than three times as much new coal power capacity as all other countries in the world combined in 2020. It isn’t alone in its reliance on coal, however. China and four other countries, India, Indonesia, Japan and Vietnam, account for more than 80% of the coal power stations planned across the world, according to a June report by the think-tank Carbon Tracker.
