it's amazing how many comments there are on that site which are flat out denying that is even exists.
one person even goes so far as to say that a shit ton of plastic DOESN'T/COULDN'T fuck with any ecosystem. at all.
yeah, the environment is just like it was when we got here.

While scientific analysis of this garbage cycle is ongoing, it doesn't always take a press release from the FDA to make us understand that something is seriously wrong, and action must be taken.
This is what I don't understand, anyone would know that endlessly pumping crap into the sea just means the crap goes.. into the sea, it doesn't disappear. ANYONE KNOWS this, why do you need a Scientific Study?

Are you being serious?
Then again, that kind of attitude may be the one that will stop us committing suicide for what we've done to nature. I guess I can see where you're coming from.

i didn't read that article but i watched this doco on some indie site a week or so ago. was real depressing. 7 days out in the ocean, middle of nowhere, and the water was full of tiny bits of broken up plastic.
literally be impossible to clean, and it's only gonna get worse :F

Not appalled enough? There's more. In addition to the obviously negative impact that this new Atlantis has on the Pacific Ocean and its wildlife, doomsday-ish scenarios exist that believe that us opposable-thumb-having, land-based bipeds might be completing the horrific circle by ingesting the photodegraded byproducts of our own garbage as it works its way back to us through the food chain.

Yeah, I can't figure that out, myself. If a person is really that daft, or that deeply in denial, I don't see what a report from a couple faceless scientists would accomplish.

no but honestly...
"In addition to the obviously negative impact that this new Atlantis has on the Pacific Ocean and its wildlife, doomsdayish scenarios exist that believe that us opposable-thumb-having, land-based bipeds might be completing the horrific circle by ingesting the photodegraded byproducts of our own garbage as it works its way back to us through the food chain."
the cause may well be worth hating yourself for, but whoever wrote this needs a massive slap.

he's saying; 'look at us (shakes head and tuts @ humanities foolishness). we've only gone and bloody poisoned ourselves as well!'
the whole vibe of this thing rubs me up the wrong way

ahh, its typical but hey ho i aint gonna worry bout poisoning myself with plastic eating fish, i'm sure i'll get that from all the carrier bag eating turtle soup i scoff.
i found it more amusing that he would compare a mass of human waste to a mythical underwater city.
