When 50 percent of the population is worried about keeping a roof over their heads and affording petrol and groceries, very little time is left to think about plastic in the sea.

Agreed

And, in the form of microplastics, throughout the ocean food chains, and in ourselves as well.

How microplastics are infiltrating the food you eat

Plastic pollution is one of the defining legacies of our modern way of life, but it is now so widespread it is even finding its way into fruit and vegetables as they grow.

Microplastics pose risk to ocean plankton, climate, other key Earth systems

Research finds impacts by tiny plastic particles on marine plankton and microbes could disrupt carbon and nitrogen cycling in the world’s oceans, possibly putting Earth’s operating system and the planet’s habitability at risk.

With human caused global warming elevating the temperature of the water in the Gulf of Mexico, we can expect stronger storms carrying far more rain. Judging from the incredible destruction wrought by Hurricane Helene, it will be difficult.

Behind the violence of extreme weather is that of the fossil fuel industry, and Americans are suffering for it

Hot oceans caused by human fossil fuel use made Helene into one of the strongest storms ever. But only 3% of TV news made the connection. Why?

There is disagreement. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who many consider the intellectual giant of the MAGA movement, had this to say:






Others in the MAGA movement seem confused:

MAGAlomaniacs Are Shocked, SHOCKED To Learn Hurricanes Are Getting More Powerful - CleanTechnica

Hurricanes are becoming more powerful, just as climate scientists have predicted for half a century. Why are so many of our leaders surprised?

What kind of would-be leader lies about a deadly natural disaster? When it comes to Donald Trump and Hurricane Helene, it's not a rhetorical question.

Ah, my old nemesis, Jimmy. Amazingly, in high school we all thought he’d win a Nobel prize in physics some day. We all thought he was the next Einstein. lol, guess not.



FEMA responds to Trump, Woods, and the other MAGA liars. Except Marjorie. She’s on to FEMA’s witchcraft. Maybe FEMA is using Jewish lasers?

Wait, MTG thinks that hurricanes can be created, controlled, and directed to certain political strongholds of certain political parties and that is what was done with this hurricane? Maybe it was the jewish space lasers. What a weirdo.

That’s why she’s the intellectual leader of MAGA!

 

[Sardines]

Thanks why she’s the intellectual leader of MAGA!

She conducts herself with no more decorum than apes at the zoo flinging their **** at the visitors. The fact that she has been reelected is outrageous.

He wonders if it’s a coincidence. What is not a coincidence is that most all of the nutty ideas is originating in MAGA’s fevered swamp. Most of the irrationality in our body politic is located among the MAGA crowd. Which, for me at least, highlights why it is ultimately doomed to fail. All the nuts located there. Coincidence? No, irrationality is baked into MAGA. After all, it’s built on an edifice of lies, an “alternative reality”. This is why MAGA will fail in the long run, IMO. You cannot expect a fake history, fake narratives, etc. to triumph in the long run. Trump and his followers subscribed to a narrative divorced from the real world. Do we honestly believe that narrative will be what the history texts draw upon and judge to be the truth?

Well I know for a fact that fires can be started, controlled, and directed by man (I start and control fires on every camping trip) so these same weirdos must also be alarmed by the wildfires in California and believe that those fires were done intentionally by Republicans!

****ing idiots
