Plastic Pollution

Plastic Pollution is the great issue of our time, in this foul year of Our Lord 2018. That is what we are told so it must be true or must it? NO! It means that the Lunatic Fringe is in action again. Do they know what they are talking about? A degree in Latin guarantees deep seated ignorance of earth sciences etc.

Sean Gabb, the historian who is England's leading Libertarian tells us about the kind of people who market this kind of story, the typical Environmental Scam. He gives a list of their stories, their demands for instant action. All of them were nonsense. He also gives us a link to An Ocean of Plastic, written by Kip Hansen in 2015. We were being lied to then. We are being lied to now. The  Wiki does tell us that the #Great Pacific Garbage Patch is invisible so one might ask if it really does exist.

This sounds like a good move against pollution. But Greenies love it; a bad sign.

 

Over Nine Out Of Ten Tons Of Plastic Rubbish Comes From Asians, Africans And Indians  [ 12 October 2017 ]
Their rivers are full of filth and disease. Are the Greenies going to demand action? No, that would be Racist. Lobbies like that are run by the Lunatic Fringe and manipulated by the Puppet Masters.
PS Look at Utterly Filthy India to see just disgusting they are, then know that they generate more filth than us. - http://www.chinasmack.com/2010/pictures/filthy-india-photos-chinese-netizen-reactions.html. In fact it has been cleaned, it was far worse.

 

Plastic Pollution Paying Off For Tax Man And Greenies  [ 24 November 2017 ]
QUOTE
The worst polluting plastics could be taxed in plans to tackle ‘the scourge’ of environmental littering.

Philip Hammond announced a consultation that will consider how taxes or charges on single-use plastics could cut down on waste – an issue on which the Daily Mail has campaigned.

His pledge follows a shocking episode of the BBC’s Blue Planet II in which the death of a pilot whale calf was blamed on chemical contamination of its mother’s milk, with plastics probably playing a role in the contamination.
UNQUOTE
Wonderful, caring people are concerned about........... whatever it is this time. The Mail & the BBC, two Propaganda machines are working this one. Hammond is on board; he likes taxing us. It gives him more money to steal or waste. Have a look at Over Nine Out Of Ten Tons Of Plastic Rubbish Comes From Asians, Africans And Indians and know that is a fraud based on what might be a decent cause. The #Great Pacific Rubbish Dump is filling up with floating plastic. Notice that is next to China, not England. A United Nations clean up might make sense.

 

Plastic Pollution Story Marketed By BBC Television  [ 5 December 2017 ]
QUOTE
The world’s oceans are turning into a ‘toxic soup’ of industrial waste and plastic, putting the future of humanity at risk, Sir David Attenborough has warned.

In the final episode of the BBC’s groundbreaking wildlife documentary Blue Planet II, which airs this Sunday, the true scale of man’s impact on the planet is laid bare.

The filmmakers show the horrifying death of an albatross, whose gut was punctured by a plastic toothpick, as well as the contents of chick’s stomach - a lethal cocktail of polythene bags and plastic food wrappers.

Elsewhere an autopsy on dolphin showed that the young female had high levels of man-made toxins in her tissues, which probably led to her death.

Dolphins are at the top of the food chain and experts now believe that adult animals are ingesting so much plastic that the calf may have been contaminated by her own mother’s milk.

The BBC is a Propaganda machine run by Marxists.

Another day, another lie, another liar.

 

$180 Billion Investment In Plastic Threatens World Says The Guardian  [ 28 December 2017 ]
QUOTE
The global plastic binge which is already causing widespread damage to oceans, habitats and food chains, is set to increase dramatically over the next 10 years after multibillion dollar investments in a new generation of plastics plants in the US.

Fossil fuel companies are among those who have ploughed more than $180bn since 2010 into new “cracking” facilities that will produce the raw material for everyday plastics from packaging to bottles, trays and cartons.

The new facilities – being built by corporations like Exxon Mobile Chemical and Shell Chemical – will help fuel a 40% rise in plastic production in the next decade, according to experts, exacerbating the plastic pollution crisis that scientist warn already risks “near permanent pollution of the earth.”...................

Greenpeace UK’s senior oceans campaigner Louise Edge said any increase in the amount of plastic ending up in the oceans would have a disastrous impact.

“We are already producing more disposable plastic than we can deal with, more in the last decade than in the entire twentieth century, and millions of tonnes of it are ending up in our oceans.”
UNQUOTE
The Guardian thinks it is bad. So does Greenpeace, another bunch of alarmist Left Wing propagandists. Unfortunately for their Propaganda, their lies the truth got out - Over Nine Out Of Ten Tons Of Plastic Rubbish Comes From Asians, Africans And Indians. Complaining about their filth would be Racism, wouldn't it? We aren't going to abuse Third World aliens.

 

Global Warming Update - Cold Sweeps Through The Deep South  [ 1 January 2018 ]
QUOTE
Potentially life-threatening cold spread across the Deep South on Saturday, as forecasters issued winter weather advisories in multiple states and warned that freezing temperatures would likely last for the next several days....................

Freezing rain and a wintry mix was possible through the weekend, the National Weather Service said. Then, low temperatures could drop below 15 degrees [ -9.4C ] in parts of Louisiana and Mississippi during the first few days of 2018, forecasters said.

In Georgia, advocates for the homeless feared the unusually long stretch of frigid weather in Atlanta could kill some homeless people in the city. The temperature in Atlanta is expected to dip into the low 20s on New Year's Eve, and plunge into the teens Monday and Tuesday night.

Before 1975 the Global Warming Lobby marketed global cooling, Then it became warming, then later climate change. Now it is climate disruption so they can always claim they are right. But when one Boondoggle is played out they move seamlessly on to the next, which is, as this foul Year of Our Lord 2017 draws to a close is Plastic Pollution. With that one they slipped up by letting the cat out of the bag. An honest researcher told us that Over Nine Out Of Ten Tons Of Plastic Rubbish Comes From Asians, Africans And Indians. We can't blame Third World aliens; that would be Racist.

 

Plastic Pollution Problem Propaganda Carries On In The Mail  [ 7 January 2018 ]
Big Plastic knew all along. They are Capitalist Swine. That is the story now that the Global Warming has served its purpose, which was to set up to help the Carbon Emission Trading racket; that one is costing us billions worldwide on our heating bills.

 

Plastic Pollution Comes From African And Asia  [ 4 July 2018 ]
Well, only nine tons out of ten.
QUOTE
Carried out by Germany's Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, it suggests that the most effective way of reducing the amount of plastic in the world's oceans is by addressing the sources of pollution along such waterways as these.
Yangtze East China Sea Asia
Indus Arabian Sea Asia
Yellow River Yellow Sea Asia
Hai He Yellow Sea Asia
Nile Mediterranean Africa
Ganges Bay of Bengal Asia
Pearl River South China Sea Asia
Amur Sea of Okhotsk Asia
Niger Gulf of Guinea Africa
Mekong South China Sea Asia..........

China's Yangtze River was the worst polluter, and ferries some 1.5 million tonnes of plastic into the Yellow Sea every year, the study found. They said microplastics in particular can damage the health of marine life but cleaning it all up would be impossible.

The Daily Mail tells some of the truth some of the time. Most of the lies, the Propaganda blame us while letting the perpetrators off. That is when they are not actually encouraging them.

 

Plastic Pollution Pipe Taking On World's Biggest Rubbish Patch And Failing Utterly  [ 17 October 2018 ]
QUOTE
A plastic fighting floating pipe nicknamed Wilson has begun a mission to rid the Pacific Ocean of plastic. The 2,000 foot-long (610m) floating pipe is set to take on the 'Great Pacific Garbage patch', a giant floating pile of rubbish located between San Francisco and Hawaii.

It's the largest of five ocean trash piles on earth and is twice the size of Texas, but it could soon be eliminated by the U-shaped pipe. [ It cannot but that is a detail - Editor ]....................

A boat will return to the spot every couple of months to remove the debris collected, acting like a garbage truck for the ocean.............

The group hopes the pipe will collect 50 tonnes of trash by April 2019 and clean 90 per cent of the world's ocean plastic by the year 2040.
UNQUOTE
50 tons of rubbish in several few months is not going to help matters. This lad has not done the calculations but he is a great salesman. Does he mean well? Maybe but lotsa money [ $30,000,000 ] is moving his way. Lotsa politicians have swallowed the Plastic Pollution stories; so have the Greenies. With 50 million tons or more out there every year he is not going to sort it out.

 

90% of Ocean Plastic Disaster Caused by Third World Pollution  [ 10 April 2019 ]
QUOTE
90 percent of the plastic pollution in the world’s oceans—a disaster which threatens the entire earth’s eco-system—comes from the Third World, and specifically  China, India, and Africa, according to a major study of pollution sources carried out by the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research-UFZ in Germany.

The study, titled “Export of Plastic Debris by Rivers into the Sea,” was prepared by two experts employed at the UFZ (which is funded by the German government as is its official advisor on environmental matters.

The report revealed that every year, “millions of tons of plastic debris ends up in the sea—a global environmental problem with unforeseeable ecological consequences.”...............

The researchers have also calculated that the ten river systems with the highest plastic loads (eight of them are in Asia and two in Africa) — areas in which hundreds of millions of people live, in some cases— are responsible for around 90 percent of the global input of plastic into the sea. From this study it is clear once again that, just like air pollution, the greatest threat to the world’s environment does not come from the white world, but rather from the nonwhite world.

Continued denial of the racial factor as the primary cause of world events is the real reason why the “experts” can never arrive at a satisfactory answer of “why” things happen, and also what is needed to stop these things happening. Until racial realism is restored in world science, the problem will continue, and the world will continue its downward spiral.
UNQUOTE
The New Observer tells the truth that the Mainstream Media ignore; they are corrupt Propaganda machines. The truth about Plastic Pollution leaked out in the Daily Mail back in 2017. It told us that Over Nine Out Of Ten Tons Of Plastic Rubbish Comes From Asians, Africans And Indians. They were duly ignored.

 

 


 

Plastic Pollution ex Wiki        
Plastic pollution
is the accumulation of plastic products in the environment that adversely affects wildlife, wildlife habitat and humans.[1][2] Plastics that act as pollutants are categorized into micro-, meso-, or macro debris, based on size.[3] Plastics are inexpensive and durable, and as a result levels of plastic production by humans are high.[4] Moreover, the chemical structure of most plastics renders them resistant to many natural processes of degradation and as a result they are slow to degrade.[5] Together, these two factors have led to a high prominence of plastic pollution in the environment.

Plastic pollution can afflict land, waterways and oceans. Living organisms, particularly marine animals, can be harmed either by mechanical effects, such as entanglement in plastic objects or problems related to ingestion of plastic waste, or through exposure to chemicals within plastics that interfere with their physiology. Humans are also affected by plastic pollution, such as through disruption of various hormonal mechanisms.

As of 2018, about 380 million tonnes of plastic is produced worldwide each year. From the 1950s up to 2018, an estimated 6.3 billion tonnes of plastic has been produced worldwide, of which an estimated 9% has been recycled and another 12% has been incinerated.[6] In the UK alone, more than 5 million tonnes of plastic are consumed each year, of which only an estimated one-quarter is recycled, with the remainder going to landfills.[citation needed] This large amount of plastic waste inevitably enters the environment, with studies suggesting that the bodies of 90% of seabirds contain plastic debris.[7][8] In some areas there have been significant efforts to reduce the prominence of plastic pollution, through reducing plastic consumption and promoting plastic recycling.[9]

Some researchers suggest that by 2050 there could be more plastic than fish in the oceans by weight.[10]
PS "some researchers suggest" is what the Wikipedia calls Weasel words, a technique for feeding in an unsubstantiated lie. That is what they are doing here.

 

Great Pacific Garbage Patch ex Wiki     
The Great Pacific garbage patch, also described as the Pacific trash vortex, is a gyre of marine debris particles in the central North Pacific Ocean discovered between 1950 and 1988. It is located roughly between 135°W to 155°W and 35°N to 42°N.[1] The collection of plastic, floating trash halfway between Hawaii and California[2] extends over an indeterminate area of widely varying range depending on the degree of plastic concentration used to define the affected area.

The patch is characterized by exceptionally high relative pelagic concentrations of plastic, chemical sludge, and other debris that have been trapped by the currents of the North Pacific Gyre.[3] Despite the common public image of islands of floating rubbish, its low density (4 particles per cubic meter) prevents detection by satellite imagery, or even by casual boaters or divers in the area. It consists primarily of an increase in suspended, often microscopic, particles in the upper water column.

 

Plastic Pollution Is Caused By Third World Aliens  [ 18 May 2021 ]
QUOTE
Some 2.7 million metric tons of plastic make their way into the oceans each year and a new study finds the trove of trash comes from 1,656 rivers.......... Several institutions in the Netherlands and one in Germany found these systems contribute to up to 80 percent of all plastics dumped in oceans, with urban areas of South East Asia and West Africa identified as the main hot spots for plastic emission..................

Now, the 16-mile Pasig River in the Philippines is now considered a greater contributor to ocean plastics than the Yantze [ sic try Yangtze ].........

'It's sort of smaller rivers through cities in rising economies; that's where the plastic pollution hotspots of the world can be found.'

The readers are not stupid enough to believe the Mail or even hopefully the BBC. They will be too sensible to look at The Guardian or other Hard Left propagandists. The Plastic Pollution issue is not just something for the Lunatic Fringe. Getting the Third World to clean up its act makes sense.
