    1. Das Amazonasgebiet leidet im zweiten Jahr unter extremer Dürre. Es gab noch nie so wenig Niederschläge, die Dürre dauerte noch nie so lang und betraf noch nie ein so großes Gebiet. Waldbrände machten Sao Paolo zur Stadt mit der schlechtesten Luftqualität der Welt. Auch die meisten übrigen Staaten Südamerikas sind betroffen. Ursachen sind ein durch die globale Erhitzung verstärkter El Niño und die Rekordtemperaturen des Nordatlantik.

    1. Seit 2023 herrscht im Amazonasgebiet eine extreme Dürre, deren Ursachen die Erhitzung der Ozeane und ein durch die globale Erhitzung verstärkter El Niño sind. Sie begünstigt die extrem zahlreichen Waldbrände, deren Rauch gerade die Luft über 60% des brasilianischen Territoriums verschmutzt. 97% der Brände werden aber von Menschen entzündet, vor allem im Interesse der Agrarindustrie. Auch aufgrund der Entwaldung ist der Kipppunkt, von dem an der Wald Kohlenstoff emittiert statt absorbiert, näher als bisher angenommen. Ausführlicher Bericht anlässlich einer neuen Studie und des Aufrufs zum Boykott von.Agrarprodukten aus dem Gebiet. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/ravagee-par-les-feux-lamazonie-au-bord-du-basculement-le-climat-est-devenu-un-allie-de-la-destruction-de-la-foret-20240911_HEMGMQI7WZCYHAWC6E24ZJCTIU/

    1. Im südlichen Teil Brasiliens fvel in diesem Frühjahr in 10 Tagen so viel Regen wie sonst in einem ganzen Jahr. Es handelt sich um die größte klimabedingte Katastrophe im Bundesstaat Rio Grande del Sol der bereits im vergangenen Jahr von zwei großen Überschwemmungen betroffen war. Die extremen Regenfälle, die es so früher in dieser Region nicht gab, werden von Forschenden auf die globale Erhitzung und mit ihr verbundene Klimaphänomene zurückgeführt. Ausführlicher hintergrundartikel im Guardian der sich auf eine Reihe von Studien und Interviews mit Forschenden bezieht. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/article/2024/may/10/brazil-is-reeling-from-catastrophic-floods-what-went-wrong-and-what-does-the-future-hold

    1. Aboard the research ship RV Laurence M. Gould, cruising along Antarctica’s west coast, according to Carlos Moffat, chief scientist, Palmer Long Term Ecological Research Program: “Even as somebody who’s been looking at these changing systems for a few decades, I was taken aback by what I saw, by the degree of warming that I saw… We don’t know how long this is going to last. We don’t fully understand the consequences of this kind of event, but this looks like an extraordinary marine heatwave,”

    1. Magnetized: Conversations With a Serial Killer by Carlos Busqued, trans. Samuel Rutter (Catapult; June 2)

      I like this book. I've reviewed it and give it 3/5.

      I have read many true-crime books about serial killers, most of which follow the same kind of pattern:

      • the serial killer is portrayed as a monster
      • every person around the serial killer says he/she was so quiet and calm
      • the people who caught the serial killer are portrayed as heroes
      • everything’s wrapped up nicely at the end

      I won’t spoil the book but I do say this: there is none of the above in this book.

    1. Allusive works are also prey to allegations of plagiarism at worst, and lack of originality at best. Eliot commented that one justification for including the notes to The Waste Landwas to counter the accusations of plagiarism that had greeted his earlier, heavily allusive poems.45Such accusations show a basic misunderstanding of the nature ofallusion. Plagiarism, unlike allusion, seeks to be invisible and undiscovered, and furthermore, it does not attempt to create any tensions of meaning between the old and new usage of the plagiarized materials.

      William Carlos Williams criticism of The Waste Land-- "copyist tendencies," and "the traditions of plagiarism." from Spring and All. A common criticism.

    2. Those conversations will continue and I am excited about how we use the land that is now Turner Field, to be a tremendous asset for our residents, our city, and our region for years to come.” said Kisam Reed.

      Why should we believe Reed? What evidence is there that investment is happening/going to happen? And what evidence is there that the invenstment will be good for the people of the neighborhood? Just because Reed says so doesn't make it so.

    3. Being a neighbor to Turner field it also brought a lot of clogged-roads, detours and crowd inconvenience says Terry Shropshire in ” So What Happens To The Summerhill Neighborhood After The Braves Leave?”

      Who is Terry Shropshire? and why should we listen to him? Is there any evidence to support that claim?

    4. Summerhill was surrounded by all the merchants and the people who used their land for parking which brought a lot of money to the community.

      Like what merchants? What kind of parking? What kind of money? This is confusing because you begin mid 19th century with the Civil War and then all of a sudden you're talking about Turner Field.... That's like over a hundred years....

    1. the detours will follow and the parking lots will be full but as the mayor Kasim Reed said that they are looking for a better future.

      Maybe wait to compose the conclusion until after you've done more research. This point of view doesn't seem to take into consideration all of the controversies. Consider this question: Why should your reader care about the thesis? What's important about your thesis?
