Jacinda Ardern and Christiana Figueres at COP30 in Belem. The talk about indigenous leadership and how this is front and centre in this Brazilian Conference in the heart of the Amazon Forest.

Dr Antimony Deor in an interview with Jane Morton, explores how the Biotic Pump  theoretically cools the climate. Forests like the Amazon, if left intact, drive atmospheric moisture inland. This is achived by tree evaporating and condensing of large amounts of water vapour.   Jane argues that we could achieve 1 degree of climate cooling by protecting the worlds tropical forests.
