If we don't stop treating our ocean worse than we do our toilet bowls, nothing else will matter

[Delta4Embassy]

Without a living ocean, there wont be anything left alive on the land. And right now we're polluting the ocean with things we wouldn't put in a toilet bowl in our homes.

"Eighty percent of pollution to the marine environment comes from the land. One of the biggest sources is called nonpoint source pollution, which occurs as a result of runoff. Nonpoint source pollution includes many small sources, like septic tanks, cars, trucks, and boats, plus larger sources, such as farms, ranches, and forest areas. Millions of motor vehicle engines drop small amounts of oil each day onto roads and parking lots. Much of this, too, makes its way to the sea.

Some water pollution actually starts as air pollution, which settles into waterways and oceans. Dirt can be a pollutant. Top soil or silt from fields or construction sites can run off into waterways, harming fish and wildlife habitats.

Nonpoint source pollution can make river and ocean water unsafe for humans and wildlife. In some areas, this pollution is so bad that it causes beaches to be closed after rainstorms."
What is the biggest source of pollution in the ocean


Compared to climate change, pollution of the enviroment is Mt. Everest, and climate change is a baseball mound.

Modern industry pollutes too much. Much of this is unavoidable and to be accepted in order to have a modern technological society. But the pollution doesn't go away because the wind wisks it away dilluting it to where you can't see it any more, and it doesn't sink intot he sea floor if you put it in the ocean. And over time it builds up becomming a bigger and bigger problem. Left untreated, ocean and land pollution will wipe out the human race a lot sooner than anything having to do with climate change.

And all the money in the world wont save you from this since if you have no more clean air to breathe, or water to drink, or land to grow your food free from contaminations, your money is essentially worthless. Plus as history has shown, when faced with death people without money vastly outnumber those with money and tend to get surly with greedy people threaten the lives of the 'disposable poor.'

Rich folks are generally less concerned about the health of the ocean overall because they have actually traveled outside of intercostal waterways and know the ocean is blue, healthy and full of life.

The first time I went to sea ... I was amazed at the difference one can notice as soon as they get outside the territorial waters.
If you want to find some of the cleanest ocean water ... You need to check out the seas around third world countries that are stuck in the an industrial stone age.

This is not warmist moron. The oceans are getting fucked and you don't care. Fish are disappearing, mercury has contaminated everything, the coral reefs are becoming calcified, entire massive swaths of ocean are covered in garbage, oil spills... hell half the damn Pacific is radioactive from the Fukushima meltdown. If you don't think humans have done anything to the ocean then you're a complete fool.

 

[BlackSand]

Just because water looks clean doesn't mean it is clean.

I love to get in the water around third world countries and check out the abundant wildlife flourishing in the clean habitat.
I can also tell the difference between the seas around Galveston, Texas and Roatan, Honduras ... But then again, I have seen it.
So chicken little the whole world and its seas into your distorted view of agricultural run-off in places where it doesn't exist.

If you really want something to bitch about ... Tackle the folks that promote "wild caught" seafood over "farm raised".
I mean sure the farm raised have worse conditions and contamination ... But roughly 40% of the products listed as "wild caught" are harvested by slave ships from foreign countries.

Huge areas of the oceans are dead, no life at all.

Farm raised - Just like factory-produced beef, chicken, pork - full of antibiotics, growth hormones and other chemicals.

Because of our overuse of antibiotics, we're now seeing resistant super bugs. There's no reason to believe that's not to going to get a lot worse. Growth hormones are causing changes as well.

Actually, I don't believe there is anything that can be done to reverse what we're seeing. Money talks and way too many willfully ignorant people vote against their own best interests and the best interests of their own children and they're children.

large islands of plastics....not a good thing

One of the problems with all that plastic is it breaks down to plankton sized particles , drifts around the ocean and is eaten by any animal that eats plankton.
Seems to me those large patches of plastic could be cleaned up . Yet billions are being poured into the global warming problem with little effect on the environment.
