A recent study found that plastic pollution and climate change go hand in hand. Rising temperatures break plastics up faster and climate disasters help spread microplastics and the chemicals they contain widely—leading to more harm for our health and the environment.

Microplastics are already an environmental and health threat, but as the world heats up, they are becoming a much bigger and more hazardous problem, according to a new analysis

The bleak report is only outdone by the bleak fact that this bleak article talks about 1.5° C as if it was still attainable. 1.5° C is dead.

The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere increased by a record amount last year, says @wmo-global.bsky.social.
The record annual rise comes amid growing signs that forests, peatlands, oceans and other natural "sinks" are failing to absorb as much CO2 as they normally do.

If you breathe oxygen and drink water, climate stability should be the ONLY matter of concern.
Not to diminish other matters of concern, but Trump’s attack on clean energy jeopardizes the ocean species that produces half the world’s oxygen and is the base of the food chain. What could go wrong? Warming seas threaten key phytoplankton species.
