Plastic that is a bigger issue than climate change imo, which was called global warming, Until the data showed the planet was cooling. History and the layers of the planet tell us alot about how this planet warms and cools. not over the short time they looking a over millions of years and alot has to do with the sun and solar rays or uv bombarding the planet and as the sun grows it will get closer to us and thus the planet will warm up. Thats why going to mars or another habitable planet maybe in another solar system is key and is based on science as well. What is nasa after all.
Scotland once had a huge glazier, that formed the land as it is now. China won’t take our plastic, but india does etc etc and alot is incinerated. But some believe those that drop names as well and work for the same people you refer to direcrly or in directly the funds come from the same places. Who pays for the university research, who creates the plastic, fibre glass and other stuff that pollutes this planet. When i used to go to school, i would get the bus on one of the most polluted roads in london at the time Marlebone road near baker street and it ain’t as bad now. Cars ain’t kicking out lead and are cleaner than then, but what about rubber particles. they made from same stuff as plastics oil and gas and mining minerals and stuff to provide the elements for the throw away use it once culture we have created. We need to go back not forwards in some ways and just saying it’s cars and fossil fuels and human activity is not correct it is the solar system and it’s on a bigger scale than most can understand or want to. Because they want you divided and split as then we easy to control.
