Was this bit added later? I also found this story confusing!

That has implications not just for Raoni and his people, who call the forest home, but for the rest of us, too. The forest is a source of water and a cooling influence for the climate well beyond the borders of Brazil.

Since Raoni started this work, the Amazon is roughly a fifth smaller. It’s been cut back to make way for ranching and farming, for food sold around the world. The pace of that destruction has fluctuated over time, but most recently it peaked during Bolsonaro’s presidency

This is how much water Thames thinks me and my partner (two people in a two-bed flat) used in the first three weeks we’ve lived there. That’s 45 showers a day. Or 565 cups of tea per hour 🤨

I wrote about climate anxiety, including this insight that I now re-read every time an angry denier calls me names in my inbox. They're just trying not to feel their anxiety.
