Last week, my newsletter highlighted how over 1/3 of premature births are attributed to the mothers' exposure to pollution from fossil fuels. Now, a new study shows air pollution reduces IVF success by 40%. For health reasons alone, fossil fuels need to go.

As an Italian, I can't disagree on this 😢 About other options, the political outlook in the UK is somewhat good, but the weather definitely isn't. Probably the north of Spain is the place I would personally choose for now.

Meanwhile, from my colleague Zia Wadud, moving all flights <1,000 miles to rail, gives a 5.6% reduction in emissions affecting only 0.17% of journeys. Limiting current flyers to 1 return flight abroad a yr has v high emissions sensitivity as so few journeys would be affected phys.org/news/2024-07...

The world has warmed around 1.3C since the mid-1800s. Effectively all of this warming is due to emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. But we'd have experienced substantially more – ~0.6C (0.2C to 1.2C) – if planet-cooling aerosols were not masking part of that warming:
