Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon dropped by 30.6% over the past year, reaching its lowest level since 2015, with 6,288 square kilometers cleared by July 31, 2024.
Despite the drop in deforestation, fires surged nearly 18-fold in September due to severe drought, with fire hotspots up 70% from the previous year.

🇪🇺🔝 European Commissioner for the Internal Market:
"We accelerated our ammunition production capacity, in March 2023 Europe was producing 500,000 artillery shells per year, but since then we have doubled this capacity. By the beginning of 2024 we reached 1 million shells per year.
By the end of the year we will have a production capacity of 1.7 million shells per year, and in 2025 we will produce 2.5 million shells."
I do think what Johnson is doing now is specifically designed to prevent the discharge petition from getting enough #votes, having recessed the House most of the year.
By bringing up #Ukraine, he is giving members of #Congress an excuse not to sign the discharge petition, that also includes #border #security.
For the last six months, all of Johnson's ploys have had the same logic. Make a promise, create some hope, generate excuses for European and executive branch inaction, weaken Ukraine, advance Russian #genocide.
Press coverage dwells now on hope rather than recalling that Johnson's entire record thus far as Speaker involves *dishonest* gambits to prevent #Ukraine funding.
Ask members of #Congress, please sign the #HRes1016
