Atmospheric microplastic emissions from land and ocean | Nature
"Our model simulations show two to four orders of magnitude overestimation of the measured global median atmospheric MP concentrations...Our results indicate that fewer MP particles are emitted into the atmosphere than previously thought. Land sources dominate the number but not the mass emissions, indicating that MPs emission size distributions should be investigated further."

“99th Day is essential reading for anyone who cares about our planet. Prepare to be disturbed, enlightened and inspired.” – Justine McCarthy, The Irish Times
And, if you’re in Ireland, Gerry has a book tour in February. If I’m in the country, I’ll be at the Dublin event on the 9th. Hope to see some of you there :)

Are you interested in rewilding? Do you have some spare time to study?
Open University are offering a free introductory course to rewilding. As far as I can tell it's available worldwide too.
It's self-study so you can go at your own pace: open.edu/openlearncreate/cours…
Boosts welcome.
Analysis: Countries blocking climate action at COP30 are home to the world’s highest-carbon companies
Almost 60% of global emissions in 2024 were attributable to state-owned fossil fuel companies, & there is a high likelihood that these firms are influencing how national governments engage in international climate diplomacy

Frequent flying wipes out Zurich residents’ green gains at home
Zurich residents fly more than 10,000 kilometres a year on average. Those flights cause more climate pollution per person than all the heating systems, cars, buses and energy used inside the city combined
