In 1874, Monet exhibited with Pissarro, Sisley, Manet, Cézanne, Degas, and other artists rejected by the Paris Salon. Visitors were shocked and outraged.
Impression, Sunrise caused the biggest stir—some said they couldn’t even tell what was painted.

We are facing a challenging time for climate action and multilateralism. But hopefully, as in the past, the dialogue will restore trust amongst all nations. We need an IMO and UN System strong.

I read The Climate Diplomat by Peter Betts in one go. It is a fascinating memoire of the UK climate negotiator in the process of the COPs that lead to the Paris Agreement.
I am particularly happy to read how much the Cartegena Process and Mexico helped to the COP dialogues.

Deforestation has killed half a million people in past 20 years, study finds
Localised rises in temperature caused by land clearance cause 28,330 heat-related deaths a year, researchers find
Deforestation has killed more than half a million people in the tropics over the past two decades as a result of heat-related illness, a study has found.
Land clearance is raising the temperature in the rainforests of the Amazon, Congo and south-east Asia because it reduces shade, diminishes rainfall and increases the risk of fire, the authors of the paper found. Continue reading...
