"Per a new study in the journal Nature Geoscience, just 500,000 metric tons of plastic end up in the world’s oceans each year, not the 8 million tons previously bewailed."
Oops, never mind!

Hahaha, this is like saying nuclear war wouldn't be that big of deal. These are plastic jews running their typical gaslighting psyop so people will continue poisoning themselves and the planet with plastic.

There's glyphosate in the rain ffs. There's microplastics in our lungs ffs. What more do you want or need? It's not climate, it's pollution.

Can anyone even visualize the difference between 500 thousand tons and 8 million tons? I can't.

Such an excellent reason to just not clean it up at all. Thanks, OP!

Liars lie, it's what they do. The trick is to not fall for it.

Okay, but microplastics are still estrogenizing us and fucking with male testosterone levels and female fertility cycles.

I'm old enough to remember the big push to force grocery stores to switch from paper bags to plastic to "Save The Trees!".

I can't believe that actually worked. The obvious answer to "save the trees" is "plant more trees." These paper companies aren't stupid. They aren't going to mindless deplete their materials without having a solid way to replenish them.

The problem is they're planting shit like palm trees for cheap food oils and decimating rain forests. Niggers and mexicans will clear trees from any properties they live on- check out any neighborhood browns inhabit. Few if any trees.
