Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech The Earth simply can’t catch a break. Those microplastics that have invaded every corner of the globe — and even the insides of our bodies — may also be heating the planet, research suggests. In a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change, the authors found that microplastics are absorbing more sunlight than they reflect in the atmosphere, resulting in net heating. Its effects aren’t as powerful as greenhouse gases, but they’re significant enough to take notice of. “We can say with confidence that overall they are warming agents,” study coauthor Drew Shindell, a professor of earth science at Duke University, told The Washington Post. “To me, that’s the big advance.” Until now, the impact that microplastics have on the climate has largely been overlooked, and current climate models don’t even account for them. It’s a nascent avenue of research, and scientists are still grappling with their environmental toll and their potential harmfulness to human health. …

A nine-year-old boy suffered “fatal physical harm” after he was operated on by a suspended surgeon at Addenbrooke’s hospital. Jack Moate died two months after Kuldeep Stohr performed surgery on him in 2015. Jack suffered “significant blood loss” during the operation and was left in continuous pain. His mother, Elizabeth Moate said: “They sent my boy home, and he died in agony.” Image: Jack suffered from several medical conditions which left him only able to communicate through facial expressions She said she “felt pressured” to give consent for the operation, fearing it might be too much for her son, who had complex medical needs. Independent experts recently assessed Jack’s case as part of a wider investigation into Ms Stohr’s practice. They said they had “significant concerns” about his operation, which “carried significant risks” given his condition. Image: Elizabeth said she could never forgive Addenbrooke’s The reviewers also found no imaging was carried out before he was discharged after his surgery. A later scan found his operation had not worked, leaving the procedure “unhealed and unstable”. …
