The World’s Largest Tropical Wetland Has Become an Inferno

This year, roughly a quarter of the vast Pantanal wetland in Brazil, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, has burned in wildfires worsened by climate change. What happens to a rich and unique biome when so much is destroyed?

The unprecedented fires in the wetland have attracted less attention than blazes in Australia, the Western United States and the Amazon, its celebrity sibling to the north. But while the Pantanal is not a global household name, tourists in the know flock there because it is home to exceptionally high concentrations of breathtaking wildlife: Jaguars, tapirs, endangered giant otters and bright blue hyacinth macaws. Like a vast tub, the wetland swells with water during the rainy season and empties out during the dry months. Fittingly, this rhythm has a name that evokes a beating heart: the flood pulse.

The wetland, which is larger than Greece and stretches over parts of Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia, also offers unseen gifts to a vast swath of South America by regulating the water cycle upon which life depends. Its countless swamps, lagoons and tributaries purify water and help prevent floods and droughts. They also store untold amounts of carbon, helping to stabilize the climate.

For centuries, ranchers have used fire to clear fields and new land. But this year, drought worsened by climate change turned the wetlands into a tinderbox and the fires raged out of control. “The extent of fires is staggering,” said Douglas C. Morton, who leads the Biospheric Sciences Laboratory at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and studies fire and food production in South America. “When you wipe out a quarter of a biome, you create all kinds of unprecedented circumstances.” His analysis showed that at least 22 percent of the Pantanal in Brazil has burned since January, with the worst fires, in August and September, blazing for two months straight.

Naturally occurring fire plays a role in the Pantanal, in addition to the burning by ranchers. The flames are usually contained by the landscape’s mosaic of water. But this year’s drought sucked these natural barriers dry. The fires are far worse than any since satellite records began.

The Brazilian federal police are investigating the fires, some of which appear to have been illegally targeting forests.

Because ecosystems are interconnected, the well-being of the wetland is at the mercy of the booming agriculture in the surrounding highlands. The huge fields of soy, other grains and cattle — commodities traded around the world — cause soil erosion that flows into the Pantanal, clogging its rivers so severely that some have become accidental dams, robbing the area downstream of water.

But perhaps the most ominous danger comes from even further afield: climate change. The effects that models have predicted, a much hotter Pantanal alternating between severe drought and extreme rainfall, are already being felt, scientists say. A study published this year found that climate change poses “a critical threat” to the ecosystem, damaging biodiversity and impairing its ability to help regulate water for the continent and carbon for the world. In less than 20 years, it found that the northern Pantanal may turn into a savanna or even an arid zone. “We are digging our grave,” said Karl-Ludwig Schuchmann, an ecologist with Brazil’s National Institute of Science and Technology in Wetlands and one of the study’s authors.

To save the Pantanal, scientists offer solutions: Reduce climate change immediately. Practice sustainable agriculture in and around the wetland. Pay ranchers to preserve forests and other natural areas on their land. Increase ecotourism. Do not divert the Pantanal’s waters, because its flood pulse is its life.

Americans May Add Five Times More Plastic to the Oceans Than Thought

The United States is using more plastic than ever, and waste exported for recycling is often mishandled, according to a new study.

2

The United States contribution to coastal plastic pollution worldwide is significantly larger than previously thought, possibly by as much as five times, according to a study published Friday. The research, published in Science Advances, is the sequel to a 2015 paper by the same authors. Two factors contributed to the sharp increase: Americans are using more plastic than ever and the current study included pollution generated by United States exports of plastic waste, while the earlier one did not.

3

The United States, which does not have sufficient infrastructure to handle its recycling demands at home, exports about half of its recyclable waste. Of the total exported, about 88 percent ends up in countries considered to have inadequate waste management.

4

“When you consider how much of our plastic waste isn’t actually recyclable because it is low-value, contaminated or difficult to process, it’s not surprising that a lot of it ends up polluting the environment,” said the study’s lead author, Kara Lavender Law, research professor of oceanography at Sea Education Association, in a statement.

5

The study estimates that in 2016, the United States contributed between 1.1 and 2.2 million metric tons of plastic waste to the oceans through a combination of littering, dumping and mismanaged exports. At a minimum, that’s almost double the total estimated waste in the team’s previous study. At the high end, it would be a fivefold increase over the earlier estimate.

6

Nicholas Mallos, a senior director at the Ocean Conservancy and an author of the study, said the upper estimate would be equal to a pile of plastic covering the area of the White House Lawn and reaching as high as the Empire State Building.

7

The ranges are wide partly because “there’s no real standard for being able to provide good quality data on collection and disposal of waste in general,” said Ted Siegler, a resource economist at DSM Environmental Solutions, a consulting firm, and an author of the study. Mr. Siegler said the researchers had evaluated waste-disposal practices in countries around the world and used their “best professional judgment” to determine the lowest and highest amounts of plastic waste likely to escape into the environment. They settled on a range of 25 percent to 75 percent.

8

Tony Walker, an associate professor at the Dalhousie University School for Resource and Environmental Studies in Halifax, Nova Scotia, said that analyzing waste data can amount to a “data minefield” because there are no data standards across municipalities. Moreover, once plastic waste is shipped overseas, he said, data is often not recorded at all.

9

Nonetheless, Dr. Walker, who was not involved in the study, said it could offer a more accurate accounting of plastic pollution than the previous study, which likely underestimated the United States’ contribution. “They’ve put their best estimate, as accurate as they can be with this data,” he said, and used ranges, which underscores that the figures are estimates.

10

Of the plastics that go into the United States recycling system, about 9 percent of the country’s total plastic waste, there is no guarantee that they’ll be remade into new consumer goods. New plastic is so inexpensive to manufacture that only certain expensive, high-grade plastics are profitable to recycle within the United States, which is why roughly half of the country’s plastic waste was shipped abroad in 2016, the most recent year for which data is available.

11

Since 2016, however, the recycling landscape has changed. China and many countries in Southeast Asia have stopped accepting plastic waste imports. And lower oil prices have further reduced the market for recycled plastic. “What the new study really underscores is we have to get a handle on source reduction at home,” Mr. Mallos said. “That starts with eliminating unnecessary and problematic single-use plastics.”

The Future Of Work: 5 Important Ways Jobs Will Change In The 4th Industrial Revolution

O futuro do trabalho: cinco maneiras importantes pelas quais os empregos mudarão na 4ª Revolução Industrial

➽1º PARÁGRAFO [1-12]:

►In many respects, the future of work is already here. Amid the headlines exclaiming the predicted loss of jobs due to automation and other changes brought by artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and autonomous systems, it’s clear that the way we work and live is transforming. This evolution can be unnerving. Since we know change is inevitable, let’s look at how work will likely change and some ideas for how to prepare for it.

Em muitos aspectos, o futuro do trabalho já está aqui. Por entre as manchetes que exclamam a perda prevista de empregos devido à automação e outras mudanças trazidas pela inteligência artificial (IA), pela aprendizagem automática e pelos sistemas autônomos, fica claro que a forma como trabalhamos e vivemos está a transformar-se. Essa evolução pode ser enervante. Como sabemos que a mudança é inevitável, vamos ver como o trabalho provavelmente mudará e algumas ideias sobre como nos preparar para isso.

➽2º PARÁGRAFO [13-24]:

►At least 30% of the activities associated with the majority of occupations in the United States could be automated, which includes even knowledge tasks that were previously thought to be safe according to a McKinsey Global Institute report. This echoes what executives see as well and prompted Rick Jensen, Chief Talent Officer at Intuit to say, “The workforce is changing massively.” Here are just a few of the ways:

Pelo menos 30% das atividades associadas à maioria das profissões nos Estados Unidos poderiam ser automatizadas, o que inclui até mesmo tarefas de conhecimento que antes eram consideradas seguras, de acordo com um relatório do McKinsey Global Institute. Isso também reflete o que os executivos veem e levou Rick Jensen, diretor de talentos da Intuit, a dizer: “A força de trabalho está mudando enormemente”. Aqui estão apenas algumas das maneiras:

➽3º PARÁGRAFO [25-36]:

►Within an organization, positions will be more fluid, and a strict organizational chart will likely be tossed in favor of more project-based teams. This is especially appealing to Generation Z employees since 75% of Generation Z employees would be interested in having multiple roles in one place of employment. The “gig” economy will continue to expand where professionals sign on as contractors or freelancers and then move on to the next gig.

Dentro de uma organização, as posições serão mais fluidas e um organograma rígido provavelmente será substituído por equipes mais baseadas em projetos. Isto é especialmente atraente para os funcionários da Geração Z, uma vez que 75% dos funcionários da Geração Z estariam interessados em ter múltiplas funções num local de trabalho. A economia do “gig” continuará a se expandir, onde os profissionais contratam como contratados ou freelancers e depois passam para o próximo trabalho.

➽4º PARÁGRAFO [37-44]:

►Thanks to mobile technology and readily available internet access, remote workers are already common. Employees won’t need to be in the same location. This will make it easier for the next generation workers to choose to live anywhere, rather than find a job and then move to a city with that job.

Graças à tecnologia móvel e ao acesso prontamente disponível à Internet, os trabalhadores remotos já são comuns. Os funcionários não precisarão estar no mesmo local. Isto tornará mais fácil para a próxima geração de trabalhadores escolher viver em qualquer lugar, em vez de encontrar um emprego e depois mudar-se para uma cidade com esse emprego.

➽5º PARÁGRAFO [45-53]:

►People will need something more than a paycheck as a motivation to work. Many want to work for an organization with a mission and purpose they believe in. They will also want different incentives such as personal development opportunities, the latest tech gadgets to facilitate their work-from-anywhere ambitions, and more.

As pessoas precisarão de algo mais do que um contracheque como motivação para trabalhar. Muitos desejam trabalhar para uma organização com uma missão e um propósito em que acreditam. Também desejarão incentivos diferentes, como oportunidades de desenvolvimento pessoal, os mais recentes dispositivos tecnológicos para facilitar as suas ambições de trabalhar a partir de qualquer lugar e muito mais.

➽6º PARÁGRAFO [54-60]:

►Not only will employees want to learn throughout their career, but they will also need to learn new skills. Technology will continue to evolve the role humans play in the workforce, so everyone will be required to adapt their skills throughout their working lives.

Os funcionários não apenas desejarão aprender ao longo de sua carreira, mas também precisarão aprender novas habilidades. A tecnologia continuará a evoluir o papel que os humanos desempenham na força de trabalho, pelo que todos serão obrigados a adaptar as suas competências ao longo da sua vida profissional.

➽7º PARÁGRAFO [61-67]:

►Artificial intelligence algorithms and intelligent machines will be coworkers to humans. The human workforce will need to develop a level of comfort and acceptance for how man and machine can collaborate using the best that both bring to the workplace.

Algoritmos de inteligência artificial e máquinas inteligentes serão colegas de trabalho dos humanos. A força de trabalho humana terá de desenvolver um nível de conforto e aceitação de como o homem e a máquina podem colaborar utilizando o melhor que ambos trazem para o local de trabalho.

➽8º PARÁGRAFO [68-78]:

►Even though we can’t predict all the changes that will occur in the future, we do have a fair amount of certainty that there are some things people can do to prepare for it. Rather than succumb to the doomsday predictions that “robots will take over all the jobs,” a more optimistic outlook is one where humans get the opportunity to do work that demands their creativity, imagination, social and emotional intelligence, and passion.

Embora não possamos prever todas as mudanças que ocorrerão no futuro, temos bastante certeza de que há algumas coisas que as pessoas podem fazer para se preparar para isso. Em vez de sucumbir às previsões apocalípticas de que “os robôs assumirão todos os empregos”, uma perspectiva mais optimista é aquela em que os humanos têm a oportunidade de realizar trabalhos que exigem a sua criatividade, imaginação, inteligência social e emocional e paixão.

➽9º PARÁGRAFO [79-87]:

►Individuals will need to act and engage in lifelong learning, so they are adaptable when the changes happen. The lifespan for any given skill set is shrinking, so it will be imperative for individuals to continue to invest in acquiring new skills. The shift to lifelong learning needs to happen now because the changes are already happening.

Os indivíduos terão de agir e participar na aprendizagem ao longo da vida, para que sejam adaptáveis quando as mudanças acontecerem. A vida útil de qualquer conjunto de competências está a diminuir, pelo que será imperativo que os indivíduos continuem a investir na aquisição de novas competências. A mudança para a aprendizagem ao longo da vida precisa de acontecer agora porque as mudanças já estão a acontecer.

➽10º PARÁGRAFO [88-95]:

►In addition, employees will need to shape their own career path. Gone are the days when a career trajectory is outlined at one company with predictable climbs up the corporate ladder. Therefore, employees should pursue a diverse set of work experiences and take the initiative to shape their own career paths.

Além disso, os funcionários precisarão definir seu próprio plano de carreira. Já se foi o tempo em que uma trajetória de carreira era delineada em uma empresa com subidas previsíveis na hierarquia corporativa. Portanto, os funcionários devem buscar um conjunto diversificado de experiências de trabalho e tomar a iniciativa de moldar seus próprios planos de carreira.

➽11º PARÁGRAFO [96-103]:

►Individuals will need to step into the opportunity that pursuing your passion provides rather than shrink back to what had resulted in success in the past. This shift in work opens the possibility to achieve more of our potential. We need to begin to think of work as more than a paycheck.

As pessoas precisarão aproveitar a oportunidade que a busca por sua paixão oferece, em vez de recuar para o que resultou em sucesso no passado. Esta mudança no trabalho abre a possibilidade de alcançarmos mais do nosso potencial. Precisamos começar a pensar no trabalho como mais do que um salário.

➽12º PARÁGRAFO [104-111]:

►Employers need to think differently about how they recruit and hire new employees. Companies need to review a prospective employee’s potential and assess skills that are less likely to be automated any time soon, including emotional intelligence, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

Os empregadores precisam pensar de forma diferente sobre como recrutam e contratam novos funcionários. As empresas precisam de rever o potencial de um potencial funcionário e avaliar as competências que têm menos probabilidades de serem automatizadas em breve, incluindo inteligência emocional, pensamento crítico, criatividade e competências de resolução de problemas.

➽13º PARÁGRAFO [112-120]:

►Another way employers will need to adjust operations is to create a structure and culture that honors lifelong learning, and that celebrates creativity. It's time for employers to assess their benefit and incentive programs to ensure they are providing the motivation the next generation of employees will want in order to attract the best talent.

Outra forma pela qual os empregadores terão de ajustar as operações é criar uma estrutura e uma cultura que honrem a aprendizagem ao longo da vida e que celebrem a criatividade. Chegou a hora de os empregadores avaliarem os seus programas de benefícios e incentivos para garantir que estão a proporcionar a motivação que a próxima geração de funcionários desejará para atrair os melhores talentos.

➽14º PARÁGRAFO [121-127]:

►While nothing is certain, it's important for every human to begin taking steps in the direction to prepare for a future where machines become colleagues. If we don't begin to adapt to the changes today, it will be challenging to catch up later.

Embora nada seja certo, é importante que cada ser humano comece a tomar medidas no sentido de se preparar para um futuro onde as máquinas se tornarão colegas. Se não começarmos a nos adaptar às mudanças hoje, será um desafio recuperar o atraso mais tarde.

• “Even though we can’t predict all the changes that will occur in the future…”
• PRONOME RELATIVO → THAT
• A oração relativa NÃO CONTÉM COMMAS antes do pronome relativo → DEFINING CLAUSE.

• “Companies need to review a prospective employee’s potential and assess skills that are less likely to be automated any time soon…”
• PRONOME RELATIVO → THAT
• A oração relativa NÃO CONTÉM COMMAS antes do pronome relativo → DEFINING CLAUSE.

>> "RELATIVE CLAUSE" (Oração relativa) é um tipo de oração subordinada, introduzida por pronome relativo (who, whom, which, that, etc), e  que modifica (define ou descreve) o núcleo de um substantivo precedente:

(1) As orações relativas que definem um substantivo são chamadas de “defining”, ou seja, restritivas, na terminologia em português. 

• She's the woman who cuts my hair. (defining relative clause)
• Ela é a mulher que corta meu cabelo.(oração restritiva)

(2) As orações relativas que descrevem substantivos são chamadas de “non-defining”, ou seja, explicativas, na terminologia em português.

• Meu avô, de 87 anos, nada todos os dias.(oração explicativa).

- What will they also want?  The answer is "different incentives".

- "different incentives", it is a direct object.

- In the 2nd sentence: “Therefore, employees should pursue a diverse set of work experiences…”

- Who is the subject? The answer is "employees".

In the sentence “Not only will employees want to learn throughout their career, but they will also need to learn new skills.” (lines 54-56), the word but is a(n)

(A) subordinating conjunction.

(B) preposition.

(C) coordinating conjunction.

(D) adverb.

      Comentários e Gabarito    X ANULADA  
TÓPICOS - VOCABULÁRIO & RELAÇÃO SEMÂNTICA COM TRECHO DO TEXTO:

*Alternative (A): subordinating conjunction.

*Alternative (B): preposition.

*Alternative (C): coordinating conjunction.

*Alternative (D): adverb.

• EXPLANATION & COMMENTS:

- The sentence is: “Not only will employees want to learn throughout their career, BUT they will also need to learn new skills.” (Os funcionários não irão apenas querer aprender ao longo de sua carreira, mas também precisarão aprender novas habilidades.)

- NOT ONLY…BUT ALSO, it is correlative conjunction. This pair of conjunction is used when THE TWO SENTENCES are different from each other, but both of them are true. 

- So in this case, the word BUT is not a coordinating conjunction. BUT is an integral part of the correlative conjunction NOT ONLY ... BUT ALSO.

- So, in my view, the question 16 should be set aside.
