Last Friday, CitizenSugar briefed us on
the uncontacted human tribe discovered deep inside the Amazon. These people reportedly paint themselves red, live in huts, and arm themselves with bows and arrows. Digitally-enhanced photos have since been released and have added a peculiar twist to the story.
Anthropologists have discovered an "uncontacted tribe" living in Brazil deep within the Amazon. Aerial
photos show red-painted people, living in huts, and ready to defend themselves with bows and arrows. If you think you're out of touch with world events, think again.
A new study claims that clean air may actually be
worsening the drought in the Amazon rainforest — a region whose well being impacts the entire world's climate.
The scientists found that sun-reflective sulfate aerosols, released by coal-burning power plants, bounce light back to the sun, preventing it from hitting the Earth. Add a bunch of scientific mumbo-jumbo, and eventually the buffering impact of a concentrated amount of sulfates from the 1970s and 80s led to more rain in the Amazon.
