Por que voto em Lula
Vivemos em uma época decisiva para a sociedade humana: crise ecológica causada por um sistema econômico profundamente desigual, guerras e aumento do custo de vida em todo o mundo. O Brasil tem grande peso nessa encruzilhada. Eu voto no presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva e torço por sua reeleição, porque enxergo em Lula o único candidato disposto a tocar tarefas que promovam segurança e qualidade de vida aos brasileiros nesse cenário. Essas tarefas não são fáceis.
Renovar o Congresso, inimigo do meio ambiente, é essencial para vencer a crise climática
A Nexus publicou uma pesquisa, em agosto de 2026, sobre a percepção dos brasileiros em relação ao Super El Niño. Os resultados apontaram que 91% dos entrevistados se preocupam, em algum grau, com a possibilidade de o fenômeno afetar a economia do país. Uma maioria também se preocupa com os impactos na saúde, além de outras questões como o abastecimento de água e o preço da conta de luz. A pesquisa foca no El Niño de maneira parecida com o que a grande imprensa faz.
Escudo das Américas: como Trump está usando a guerra às drogas para dominar América Latina
Em março de 2026, sob liderança dos Estados Unidos, foi lançada oficialmente a aliança “Escudo das Américas” (Shield of the Americas, em inglês). A iniciativa reúne governos do continente americano alinhados com a política externa e de segurança de Donald Trump. Apesar de ser, formalmente, um grupo de países-membros, é evidente que a postura e a missão ideológicas do Escudo das Américas provêm dos governos de extrema direita que têm aumentado em nossa região.

Por que o uso de energia renovável não anula o impacto negativo dos data centers e da IA
Entre 2017 e 2023, o consumo elétrico de data centers aumentou em 12% por ano. Esse crescimento foi quatro vezes maior que o crescimento global da oferta de energia, alimentando uma tendência já notada por quem trabalha no setor. Chegamos à Idade da Eletricidade – como posto pela Agência Internacional de Energia (EIA).
Sob pretexto falso de revitalização, capitais expulsam os mais pobres do centro
As reportagens exclusivas do Intercept Brasil sobre Flávio Bolsonaro e Daniel Vorcaro ajudaram a revelar coisas importantes também sobre as trocas de favores e contratos suspeitos no nível municipal. Uma delas é a relação entre a prefeitura de Ricardo Nunes, do Movimento Democrático Brasileiro, o MDB, em São Paulo, e a ONG Instituto Conhecer Brasil, o ICB.
Como fugir dos destinos de sempre e viver experiências mais próximas da natureza nas férias
O mês de julho é associado às férias escolares e ao aumento das viagens em família. Nesse período, para além dos roteiros clássicos e de turismo de massa, como praias e outras atrações tradicionais, cresce o interesse por experiências que aproximem diferentes gerações da natureza e do aprendizado com a cultura local.
Envolvimento da família Bolsonaro com Vorcaro escancara a engrenagem da corrupção no Brasil
A revelação recente do Intercept Brasil de que Daniel Vorcaro e sua fortuna estavam por trás do filme “Dark Horse”, produzido pela família Bolsonaro para contar, de maneira bastante enviesada, a história do ex-presidente condenado Jair Bolsonaro, causou um alvoroço no Brasil. Flávio Bolsonaro, que horas antes havia dito ser mentira, tentou moldar a narrativa, fingindo se tratar de mero apelo a um financiador privado qualquer para a realização de um projeto familiar.
Quando a falta de energia é projeto de poder
A guerra promovida pelos Estados Unidos e Israel contra o Irã tem reverberado ao redor do mundo. Os choques em preços e abastecimento de mercadorias geram outros choques e consequências, como parte do mecanismo de uma situação de crise generalizada que outros pesquisadores e eu chamamos de policrise planetária.
Criminosos de guerra de Israel estão circulando livremente entre nós?
Assim que se espalharam notícias de que os Estados Unidos haviam bombardeado o Irã, assassinando o aiatolá Ali Khamenei, grupos de jovens turistas israelenses na Bahia fizeram suas malas e mudaram seus planos logísticos para retornar o quanto antes a Tel Aviv. Essas imagens circularam entre contas brasileiras nas redes sociais, onde vários comentários elogiavam os jovens pelo seu “compromisso” e “patriotismo verdadeiro”.
As mentiras por trás do discurso de desenvolvimento
Como ainda vivemos o legado colonial de desigualdade, racismo e violência, é natural que o discurso sobre o desenvolvimento seja tão forte no Brasil. Líderes políticos e empresários justificam suas ações em nome desse ideal. Quando não falam em desenvolvimento, falam em progresso.
A doutrina Trump e a ameaça à paz no Brasil: Por que a invasão da Venezuela é um alerta para 2026 | Intercept Brasil
Já começamos o ano em choque com a invasão militar da Venezuela e o sequestro de Nicolás Maduro e sua esposa Cilia Flores pelo regime de Donald Trump. O presidente estadunidense que já estava livre para assassinar pessoas em barcos no Caribe, sem nenhum respaldo legal internacional, decidiu testar ainda mais os limites globais ao iniciar, concretamente, uma investida militar na região.

A ideologia está ganhando da ciência na briga para acabar com combustíveis fósseis | Intercept Brasil
Acabamos de viver a COP30 no Brasil e um dos legados positivos foi o quanto se falou sobre mudança climática na imprensa, nas escolas, nas ruas, nas instituições públicas e até no setor privado. Parece que, por algumas semanas, vencemos o negacionismo climático que ameaçava crescer durante os anos da presidência bolsonarista.

Brazil Is Burning and Agribusiness Must Be Held Liable
South America’s “wildfire season” is upon us. As of early September, about three quarters of the total area on fire in Latin America was in Brazil, where smoke from the burning biomes extended to 60 percent of the country’s territory. Fire connected to deforestation and agribusiness activity has become so ubiquitous that one quarter of the country was on fire at least once in the past 40 years.
Silo de grãos de milho desaba, amassa carro, mata idoso e fere 2 funcionários em SC
Um homem morreu e outras duas pessoas ficaram feridas após um silo de grãos de milho desabar em Descanso, no Oeste de Santa Catarina, na segunda-feira (22). Odecio Welter, de 67 anos, foi encontrado sem sinais vitais perto do carro que teve o teto amassado. Dois funcionários da empresa onde ocorreu o acidente também se feriram, segundo os bombeiros. Os homens, de 47 e 58 anos, foram encaminhados ao hospital da cidade.
Leishmania infantum detection in Nyssomyia neivai and dogs in Southern Brazil - Parasites & Vectors
This study was undertaken at the ZCC of Tubarão (28°31′12.64″S, 49°01′03.09″W), located in the southern region of Santa Catarina (Fig. 1). The institution facility can house around 60 dogs, and there were reports of CVL outbreaks on the premises approximately 3 months before the study began. The investigation was carried out from March 2019 to June 2020.
Palestine Expected More From Latin America
South Africa’s decision to bring a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) was an important step not only in efforts to halt the current assault on Gaza but also as a sign that global South countries can and should denormalise relations with Israel. South Africa’s genocide case, which the ICJ mostly corroborated, gathered support from more than 90 states, including some Arab signatories of the Abraham Accords.

Una estrategia ecosocialista para ganar el futuro
El mundo en que vivimos hoy está atravesado por una crisis económica, política y ecológica. Cientos de millones de personas han visto deteriorarse su nivel de vida y las perspectivas de futuro se vuelven borrosas, mientras otros cientos de millones padecen sequías, inundaciones y otros impactos del cambio climático, que no harán más que agravarse con el paso del tiempo.

Arming oppression
On Friday November 10, a small number of activists from various groups around South Africa’s most populous province, Gauteng, formed a people’s blockade in front of the main entrance to Paramount Group, Africa’s largest arms trader.
We are here
As I am glued to the television, watching how world powers conspire to enable genocide against the people of Gaza, the images of protesters demanding a ceasefire—with raised hands painted red sitting behind US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken—evoke hope, and showcase the power of art in a historical context; its power as resistance and as a voice for the voiceless that transcends time.
What is the United Nations for?
It is astounding that the president of the US, the so-called leader of the free world, could fly to Israel to offer more military support to a regime that has no qualms about committing mass slaughter of civilians in Gaza.
The Jobs Have Gone, But Fallout From Industrial Pollution Still Haunts Detroit
The auto and steel industries of the last century once made Detroit, Michigan, a symbol of the U.S.’s domestic mass-production might. Yet they have left another legacy in parallel, one far more ignominious: the legacy of pollution and death, of poisons that to this day are still lacing the city’s air and water, leaching into the soil.
Israel Doesn’t Care About Your Resolutions
The current state of the conflict in Palestine has heated up debates not only about what to do now, but also about strategy.
After Hottest Summer on Record, Local Governments Are Underreporting Deaths
This story was published in partnership with Deceleration. Throughout the blazing summer of 2023, reporters dutifully marked prior heat records being demolished repeatedly across the nation. New record-setting high temperatures were noted almost daily, and in city after city, a raft of new hottest June, July and August monthlong records were marked in towering fonts. Far fewer stories, however, sought to document what that extreme heat meant for working people.
Israel doesn’t care about your resolutions
Our aim here is to point to the limits of the international community’s “solutionist” postures and to claim the importance of Israel’s denormalization in international relations in order to decolonize Palestine. This means reversing the broad normalization of Israel’s relations in recent years with Arab states in the region, such as the United Arab Emirates, with whom the Israelis already have deep military cooperation relations.
Libya Flood 50 Times More Likely, 50 Percent More Intense Due to Climate Change
Briefly, we wanted to update you on where Truthout stands this month. To be brutally honest, Truthout is behind on our fundraising goals for the year. There are a lot of reasons why. We’re dealing with broad trends in our industry, trends that have led publications like Vice, BuzzFeed, and National Geographic to make painful cuts. Everyone is feeling the squeeze of inflation. And despite its lasting importance, news readership is declining.
Low geriatric nutritional risk index predicts poor prognosis in patients with cirrhosis: a retrospective study
1. Introduction The liver is an essential organ in the metabolism of nutrients such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, and minerals (1). Patients with cirrhosis have reduced liver functional reserve frequently complicated by malnutrition due to altered metabolism of these nutrients, as well as hypermetabolic state, malabsorption, decreased nutrients intake, hormonal imbalance, and systemic inflammation (1–4).
Climate Change Played a Role in Staggering Flood Death Toll in Libya
This story was originally published by Grist. Sign up for Grist’s weekly newsletter here. Catastrophic flooding earlier this week in Libya killed at least 10,000 people, with more than 30,000 displaced, after Storm Daniel pummeled the coast and two dams broke in quick succession. Nearly a quarter of Derna, a coastal city in the eastern corner of Libya, was destroyed in the flooding, with entire blocks of buildings now missing and washed out to sea.
Confronting the Climate Crisis Requires Disruptive Action and Radical Healing
Part of the Series Progressive Picks Climate disasters are unfolding so quickly one can barely keep track. Wildfires in Canada have already burned millions of acres and sent thick smoke across the entire East Coast of the U.S. Italy’s recent flooding has displaced more than 23,000 people. Heat waves in India, Spain, and beyond are devastating crops and killing people. And warming is not just increasing, it’s accelerating. July was the hottest month on record.
There Is a Climate Conspiracy - But Not the One Climate Denialists Are Peddling
Skip to content Skip to footer Environmentalists and elites aren’t in cahoots to destroy the U.S. But fossil fuels’ damage on the world is undeniable. Imagine, if you will, a plot. It’s an evil plot concocted by a power-hungry global elite determined to ensnare all of mankind in its dystopian, totalitarian net. Even more ominously, it’s specifically designed to deny the planet’s “freest” people — Americans — their god-given rights.
Ocean Surface Temperatures Break Global Record Set in 2016
Climate scientists on Friday said the rapidly rising temperature of the planet’s oceans is cause for major concern, particularly as policymakers in the top fossil fuel emissions-producing countries show no sign of ending planet-heating oil and gas extraction.
We’re Not Living in an Era of Global Warming, But a Time of Global Boiling
Hey, who knows? It could be the Gulf Stream collapsing or the planet eternally breaking heat records. But whatever the specifics, we’re living it right now, not in the next century, the next decade, or even next year.
Fossil Fuel Exec Is Slated to Lead COP28. We Must Decolonize Climate Governance.
Current climate governance is rooted in the same colonial mindsets that led us to this very crisis.
Heat-Related Deaths on the Rise as Senate GOP Pushes to Nix Climate Regulations
Skip to content Skip to footer Heat-related deaths nearly doubled between 2010 and 2022, according to CDC data. On the heels of what is likely the worst heat wave across the globe in recorded history, data shows that heat-related deaths have been rapidly rising over the past decade — even without yet taking into account this year’s record-breaking heat.
BP Reports $2.6 Billion in Profits After Hottest Month on Record
The London-based oil giant BP reported second-quarter profits of $2.6 billion on Tuesday and announced a 10% dividend raise for shareholders on the heels of what was likely the hottest month on record — a grim milestone that scientists say was made possible by the burning of fossil fuels.
