CA Watchdog: Despite stories to the contrary, there is no Texas-sized trash island floating in the Pacific, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency.
While there is a Pacific Garbage Patch in the Pacific Ocean (apparently, there’s many of these patches throughout the global ocean), it’s not an island of trash, it’s difficult to see and it definitely can’t be walked on.
NOAA has tried debunking this myth since at least 2012.
You mean leftist environmentalists lied. I am shocked. Shocked I tell you.
That tsunami that occured after the 2011 earthquake flooded the coastline and all the material that washed out into the ocean is now floating all across the Pacific ocean.
There are videos of entire cities being washed out to sea.
The same thing happens when massive floods occur like the one the other day in Texas. All the material that gets picked up by the raging flood waters ends up in bays and oceans.
The vast majority of this stuff did not start out as radomly discarded trash. It was not human negligence.
What the heck is the problem even if it was totally visible and rising a whole entire storey above the sea? A large pile speaks loudly about our accomplishments; a little pile not so much. Similar to civil accomplishments where we have piles of shit in the street from woman who’d squat at a curb rather than dealing with trigender-fluidness in the quadgenderspecics bathroom.
But…but…but…THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED!
When somebody figures out how to make a profit out of garbage islands, it won’t be a tree-hugger.
(I am talking about something other than donations.)
Have no fear – it’s why we’re here:
