THE MANGROVE –noun 1. any tropical tree or shrub of the genus Rhizophora, the species of which are mostly low trees growing in marshes or tidal shores, noted for their interlacing above-ground adventitious roots. 2. any of various similar plants. THE MARSH –noun a tract of low wet land, often treeless and periodically inundated, generally characterized by a growth of grasses, sedges, cattails, and rushes Synonyms: swamp, bog, fen, marshland, wetland. The series kicks off with Natural Prevention, a reckoning of how an investment in natural barriers such as marshes and mangroves to tsunamis and hurricanes can save billions of years developing how to do the most with the least. THE CONUNDRUM –noun 1. a riddle, the answer to which involves a pun or play on words, as What is black and white and read all over? A newspaper. 2. anything that puzzles. In all the programmes, Nature inc addresses the conundrum that while everyone accepts that conservation has an economic value, the unregulated free market cannot really fix a workable monetary value on ecosystem services TRIPLE CRUNCH OF CLIMATE, CREDIT, AND ENERGY INSECURITY Retórica = Usar em textos

THE TRIPLE CRUNCH OF CLIMATE, CREDIT, AND ENERGY INSECURITY, IS FORCING GOVERNMENTS TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER THE “GREEN ECONOMY”AS A WAY OF MAKING A SUSTAINABLE RECOVERY TO FLAUNT –verb (used without object) 1. to parade or display oneself conspicuously, defiantly, or boldly. 2. to wave conspicuously in the air. –verb (used with object) 3. to parade or display ostentatiously: to flaunt one's wealth. 4. to ignore or treat with disdain: He was expelled for flaunting military regulations. –noun 5. the act of flaunting. 6. Obsolete. something flaunted. American energy efficiency investments should flaunt the awareness of a future nature crunch Synonyms: 3. flourish, exhibit, vaunt, show off. TO FLOUT “to treat with disdain, scorn, or contempt; scoff at; mock.” He flouts community standards with his behavior Usage note: 4. The use of flaunt to mean “to ignore or treat with disdain” (He flaunts community standards with his behavior) is strongly objected to by many usage guides, which insist that only flout can properly express this meaning. From its earliest appearance in English in the 16th century, flaunt has had the meanings “to display oneself conspicuously, defiantly, or boldly” in public and “to parade or display ostentatiously.” These senses approach those of flout, which dates from about the same period: “to treat with disdain, scorn, or contempt; scoff at; mock.” A sentence like Once secure in his new social position, he was able to flaunt his lower-class origins can thus be ambiguous in current English. Considering the similarity in pronunciation of the two words, it is not surprising that flaunt has assumed the meanings of flout and

that this use has appeared in the speech and edited writing of even welleducated, literate persons.

Nautical. a. to slacken (a rope) by hauling in the opposite direction to that in which the rope was drawn taut. b. to release the blocks of (a tackle). –noun 6.
