Great resource for #geographyteacher to show human interference in the slow carbon cycle. By burning coal, oil, and natural gas, we accelerate the process moving the carbon from the slow cycle to the fast cycle. #Edexcel #Alevel #2023 Paper 1 Question 4 (e)

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.

Can you recall our case study and the factors that have an effect?

In Chai Wan, Hong Kong, under the heavy rain of 150 mm in one hour, the streets have turned into raging rivers!

[Nahel Belgherze @WxNB_]

JUST IN: Hong Kong just recorded its heaviest hourly rainfall on record with 158.1 mm [6.2 inches] between 11 PM and midnight (HKT). Records date back to 1884 (139 years ago). A rare “Black Rainstorm Warning Signal” has been issued by the HKO observatory.
