Japanese scientists find microplastics are present in clouds
Researchers in Japan have confirmed that microplastics are present in clouds, where they are likely affecting the climate in ways that are not yet fully understood.
The team identified nine different types of polymers and one type of rubber in the airborne microplastics, which ranged in size from 7.1 to 94.6 micrometres.
Each litre (0.26 gallon) of cloud water tested contained between 6.7 to 13.9 pieces of the plastics.
When microplastics reach the upper atmosphere and are exposed to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight, they degrade, contributing to greenhouse gasses, Okochi said.

Impact of Greek floods only now becoming apparent. Not only quarter of farming is obliterated, it is not coming back. Erosion and silt in fields means 9-10 years before they can be fertile. Huge internal migration taking place, as farmers give up @jake_bittle#ClimateCrisis

The blocked jet stream pattern with a ridge in northwest Europe is causing the September heatwave. Meanwhile the trough in the eastern Mediterranean is responsible for severe flooding from storm Daniel. The jet stream pattern is stuck for the next few days.
