@nature: Microplastics have a newly discovered talent: teaming up with greenhouse gases to heat Earth’s atmosphere. A recent paper in Nature Climate Chance investigated the radiative forcing of airborne microplastics and found that these pesky particles aren’t just causing trouble in our water and in our bodies—they should be factored into our climate models, too. - Hosted & Produced by @simonoxfphys - Written & Produced by Tristan Sharman - Edited & Produced by Maren Hunsberger - Supervising Producer: Shamini Bundell - Stock Music: Adobe Stock / ADMIRE From Liu, Y., et al. 2026. “Atmospheric warming contributions from airborne microplastics and nanoplastics”.
