Now the ‘sea of plastic garbage’ is the ‘size of Alaska.’ Last month it was ‘the size of Texas’ yet no satellite photo has been presented because the sea of plastic is a fiction. The ultimate in Fake News.”
Last night on the science channel a show had a satellite image of a moving island headed towards New Zealand.
One theory was that it was a floating pile of plastic headed towards NZ. A scientist familiar with the Pacific Garbage Patch said No Way because most of the plastic would be BELOW THE SURFACE and not visible on satellite imaging. The Garbage Patch is there bust most is submerged, held in place by the currents.
The floating island turned out to be magma ejected by an underwater volcano. The magma cooled so quickly trapped air pockets gave them positive buoyancy. Pretty cool.
