No one talks about the garbage island in the Pacific.
But it’s larger than France, Germany, and Spain combined.
And it’s leaking toxic chemicals into the fish you eat.
Here’s what you were never told about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch:

Historic sketches capture the mystifying spell of the Great Barrier Reef
By Tyne Logan
Striking historic drawings of the Great Barrier Reef found in an old, waterlogged book capture the spell this underwater world has put on people for centuries.
Curbing global warming's effects requires systemic changes and government policies to reduce carbon emissions. Among individual climate actions (e.g., avoiding meat and limiting air travel), discussing climate change with others can foster wider collective support for climate policies. However, only one-third of Americans report discussing climate change with family and friends even occasionally, leading to the trend dubbed "climate silence."

87 years ago, in April 1938, Guy Callendar quietly made history.
In a pioneering paper, he presented the first observational evidence from thermometers showing that the Earth’s land temperatures were rising.
He also made the connection between rising levels of atmospheric CO2 and the burning of coal.

In 1824, Fourier described the greenhouse effect.
In 1856, Foote measured infrared absorption from CO2.
In 1896, Arrhenius and Högbom worked out the detailed physics and predicted anthropogenic warming.
200 years of climate science.
As always, everyone: Work to address #ClimateChange .

Telegiornali e giornali in Italia parlano sempre meno della crisi climatica. A evidenziarlo sono gli ultimi dati del rapporto annuale su media e clima realizzato dall’Osservatorio di Pavia per Greenpeace.
