Why is this a left-right thing?? Can’t we all agree 500,000 metric tons of plastic in the oceans each year is bad? Or is it “woke” to think that? “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

It’s all estimates. Which is better? Still lots of plastic. Enjoy your fishplastic dinner. My guess if anything belongs in the oceans, it would actually be biodegradable and not harmful. So any plastic is likely too much. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

The next settled science thing will be that the rise in oceans will only be 1/16 of that claimed. Oh I forgot that has already happened. How about global warming will be only 1/16 of the amount that settled science claims. When you go to work what would you think if the boss said I am only paying you 1/16 of the wages you thought you would get. The real issue is that truth in science no longer matters as long as it helps your political agenda. The bulk of plastic in the oceans is coming from the developing countries. A significant amount of that plastic is shipped to those countries from developed countries to 'recycle'. If we would bury our plastic or better burn it for energy we could make a difference. Banning plastic straws in your city won't make one iota of difference, it is just a sop so you can feel like you are 'doing something'. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you."

I personally despise paper straws, FWIW. As for the other stuff in the post, you just seem very angry and looking for stuff to blame liberals for. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

| Tanko Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 0 Posts: 2470 | 'Every year, 11 million metric tons of plastics enter our ocean on top of the estimated 200 million metric tons that currently circulate our marine environments.' 75% of it is from Asian countries. They're finding microplastics in human organs and blood. Most recently in the hearts of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Microplastics Found In Human Hearts For First Time, Showing Impact Of Pollution 'Fishery products are an important source of microplastics in the human diet. Once ingested, microplastics reach the gastrointestinal tract and can be absorbed causing oxidative stress, cytotoxicity, and translocation to other tissues.' 'The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) is a floating vortex of debris in the North Pacific Ocean. It spans 1.6 million square kilometers (or over 600,000 square miles) from California to Japan with Hawaii in the middle.' - 94% are microplastics. |

What are you predicting? Plastic in the oceans makes no difference? Climate change is a hoax? Good luck with either of those ideas. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

I am only doing what I have done all my life. When I was young in the 60's and early 70's I protested and complained about mostly conservative governments lying too me and trying to restrict our freedom of speech. For many years under both conservative and liberal governments the attacks on freedom of speech seemed somewhat better. Now we have full blown attacks on our freedom of speech again, but this time by the liberals. Time for this old soldier to fight for freedom again seeing the younger generations have been brainwashed to be happy to give up their freedoms.

The woman is not qualified to be a judge. Someone needs to tell the spoiled brat kids if they want to "stop climate change" to stop using their furnaces and hot water. They probably live in their parents McMansions. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |
