A team of scientists from INRAE, CEA and the University of Oklahoma combined satellite observations of plant biomass and deforestation monitoring to study changes in carbon stocks in the Brazilian Amazon forest between 2010 and 2019.

Warmer winter temperatures brought forward the growing season, leaving crops more vulnerable to frost Between 6 and 8 April 2021 an intense late frost episode damaged agricultural lands in France. Vineyards in particular were severely affected, with early assessments estimating losses of almost 2 billion euros. The cold wave hit France after the country experienced record high temperatures in March.  

The new US Carbon Monitor web site is online   The site provides free access to daily CO2 emissions data for 50 States and six sectors, including domestic and international air traffic. Also is a link to the submitted publication led by Chaopeng Hong and Steven Davis    https://us.carbonmonitor.org   https://doi.org/10.31223/X5BS5B https://eartharxiv.org/repository/view/2233/

​Noting the inconsistencies in health policies aimed at combating COVID-19, a mathematician from the LSCE (CEA-CNRS-UVSQ) and his co-authors are calling attention to the poor quality of available data, as well as the intrinsic sensitivity of epidemiological models to these data.
