That's Andrew Gettleman. He's a climate scientist at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Ships burn fossil fuels, and the pollution from that actually creates these cloud trails behind them that cool Earth. And in 2020, that ship fuel actually got cleaner, and that meant smaller ship track clouds and increased in turn, a hotter planet.

And that could actually make up about half of the mystery heat. And scientists think decreases in other clouds that were also formerly caused by pollution might make up another chunk.

Yeah, it's not ideal. But scientists like Schmidt say that that just means cutting fossil fuel emissions is even more important to get at that main driver of climate change.

Yeah, glad to be here. Thanks.

Yeah, even though, as we'll get into later, Ozempic is a diabetes drug.

I mean, because it kind of is everywhere and there's data to back that up. Brand name Wegovi sales have been increasing, for example, and the companies that make these drugs have been ramping up production to deal with the fact that they initially weren't able to meet this huge demand. And ZocDoc says more patients are trying to book appointments to ask about these drugs than really ever before.

Yeah, sure. So that's a fair question. So they work basically by mimicking a hormone in the body that tells the pancreas to make more insulin, and that lowers blood sugar, and that keeps you feeling full, things like that. So it started as a diabetes drug, but it has been super effective at helping people lose weight. Mm-hmm.
