Quem ganha medalha olímpica vai pagar imposto no Brasil

Publisher’s rating: EXPLICA

Brazilian Olympic medals are exempt from tax under a federal law in force since 2007. Cash prizes from the Brazilian Olympic Committee were taxable until a measure published on August 8, 2024, exempted qualifying Olympic and Paralympic prizes awarded from July 24, 2024.

Ein einziger Vulkan stößt in zwei Sekunden so viel CO2 aus als die gesamte Menschheit in einem Jahr.

Publisher’s rating: Die Behauptung ist falsch. Vulkane stoßen weniger als zwei Prozent jener CO2-Menge aus, die von Menschen verursacht wird.

The review says volcanic CO₂ emissions are far below human-caused emissions, estimating them at about 1.6% of human emissions. It also cites NASA’s comparison that human activity affects the carbon cycle more than all volcanoes worldwide combined by over a hundredfold.
