Nanoplastics are making their way into the deepest parts of our bodies, including our brains and breast milk.

Scientists have now captured the first visual evidence of these particles inside human cells.

I have a new analysis over at The Climate Brink exploring how rates of warming have changed over the past century.

Post-1970, GHGs (CO2, CH4, etc.) would have led to just under 0.2C per decade, but falling aerosols (SO2) have increased that rate to 0.25C. www.theclimatebrink....
