Tiny particles of plastic in the atmosphere can affect Earth’s climate, according to Laura Revell at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand and colleagues. Today, roughly 5 billion tonnes of plastic waste have accumulated in landfills and natural environments. Altitude matters. Microplastics are turning up everywhere.

The twin goals are are to improve the flow of information and reduce the wasting of water. This week, Circle of Blue looks at a major new climate report, which finds that a warming planet is accelerating the water cycle. The 1,300-page paper is the most comprehensive, up-to-date survey of the physical science of climate change.

are used all over the world, based on calculations that quantify the effects of physical mechanisms and the way different parts of the atmosphere are connected to each other. The physics-based models describe how energy flows through the atmosphere and ocean, as well as how the forces from different air masses push against each other.

Methane is a powerful contributor to atmospheric warming. Though it is far less abundant than carbon dioxide, it is about 80 times more efficient at trapping heat in the atmosphere, thus accounting for about 25% of warming. It sounded like two jets were directly above my house,” Doug Harrison, 50, told The Guardian. “I

We should expect to hear more, as climate impacts are only going to get worse. As a climate scientist recently said on CNN, “Until we stop pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere we have no idea what the future looks like.” Contrary to what some may think, engaging candidates is not a waste of time.
