The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is now 600,000 square miles.

You don't need graphs to see a gigantic pile of garbage that is growing faster than anyone expected. All the climate Nazis are focused on Global Warming and don't seem to care we are poisoning the Ocean.

Earth's biggest cluster of ocean trash, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, is now 3 times the size of France

That is a legitimate environmental issue, one with tangible consequences, and one where we could actually have a positive impact. We should be trying to clean that up, and it would require a world wide effort to not only get the job done but maintain a clean ocean.

Proves to me leftists don't really give a shit about the planet.

we didn't have this problem until leftist forced us to use plastic and someone, somehow convinced the dumbest of us that our water wasn't good for us.

leftists look the other way on this b/c they know they are the reason for it.


aside from that, it will never go away, to many countries still use their waterways as sewers, so unless it seriously messes with shipping, it will just keep growing.

I see is an opportunity.

All that recyclable stuff out there just waiting to be skimmed off by a large converted cargo ship and sold to recycling plants.

At the very least, all those mega bazillionaire Leftists like Amazon's Bozo's, Microsoft's Gates, Facebook's Suckerberg, Tesla's Musk etc.....

Any ONE of these Leftists could buy a fleet of skimming vessels from about 20 seconds worth of profits.
If they were REALLY concerned about the environment they'd pay for a fleet of vessels with their loose pocket change to be out there skimming that garbage off the surface before it sinks.

As we suspected, the Left only cares about the environment if and when it supports their fascist agendas.

You whiny jerks have no idea what you are talking about. Here is a portal to seeing what NOAA is doing about this:
