It is widely understood in less alarmist scientific circles that the so-called ‘micro-plastics’ do NOT remain forever in the oceans. The reason there are ‘trillions’ of them is they become quite small. So small, in fact, that they can be consumed for their energy content by micro-organisms that inhabit the oceans. These are similar to the “oil-eating’ bacteria that clear the oceans of all the petroleum products leaking from oil wells oil spills, and rifts in the ocean floor. Note that oil spills don’t last forever, either. They are simply converted to....air.

Aren’t plastic bags banned because they end up in the ocean in Asia ? LOL

the only way climate change can be tackled is if more people are inspired through education to care about the environment and are encouraged to come up with creative solutions. Yes, this is called "free market capitalism."

“According to the United Nations, there are more than 51 trillion microplastic particles in the seas, 500 times more than the number of stars in our galaxy.”
Oh, now there’s a piece of information you can bank on! LMAO!

"There really is only one way to fix “climate change.”"
Remember "Nuclear Winter"? That'll fix everything.

Certainly a very poor case of the argument from “authority” fallacy.
