Microplastics A Poison Like No Other, Climate Scientists Sound the Alarm, Natl Audubon Keeps Enslavers Name and more
b'Microplastics are everywhere scientists have looked for them, from the deepest ocean trenches to mountain peaks; in our air, water, and food, even our own bodies. We\\u2019ll take a deep dive into the world of these tiny pollutants laden with thousands of different chemicals and discuss potential solutions.\\nAlso, the world has no time to waste in cutting carbon emissions if we want to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, according to the latest major climate report from the IPCC science agency of the United Nations. What\\u2019s at stake for the planet and what\\u2019s necessary to keep warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius.\\nAnd the namesake of the National Audubon Society was an enslaver, racist and white supremacist, so several local chapters are changing their names in an effort to build a more inclusive birding community.
