Microplastics are everywhere—in our food, our water and even the air. In fact, by some estimates we ingest about a credit card's worth of plastic every single week. But what actually happens when these tiny plastic particles get inside our bodies? newsweek.com/warning-microp…

We are in a triple planetary crisis of
⚠️Climate change
⚠️Pollution
⚠️Biodiversity loss
This is a reminder that the risk of species extinction increases with every degree of global warming.

Our new paper out in Communications Earth & Environment. 👇🏻We estimate substantial local & remote health impacts due to #Arctic #wildfire sourced particulate pollution. Recent changes in magnitude and latitudes of these fires are important to consider in understanding how these impacts are changing.

Is the #AMOC approaching a tipping point? Here's my take after researching this topic for over 30 years. Open access, peer-reviewed, in full colour & understandable for non-experts.
