Brazil made progress in reducing deforestation in the Amazon, but is planning major investments in oil and gas that would worsen the climate crisis.
The Lula administration should commit to phasing out fossil fuels.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.
We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.
2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.
