The massive ocean plastic exaggeration

There seems to be no end to the absurdities spread by the “Green†movement in concert with the media. Your patience with their scams may have let you ignore it. Nevertheless, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch has been well publicized as another of the great environmental tragedies of our time. They, including CNN, have said it is twice the size of Texas, and that the central Pacific Ocean is completely covered by garbage, mostly plastics. Few folks could ever see it in person, so it was easy to photoshop entire fake pictures on ther Internet. And they claim images of ocean debris such as that which existed following the tsunami off the coast of Fukushima, Japan, in 2011are actually of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
The massive ocean plastic exaggeration
A photo shopped picture of what is said to be floating plastic garbage.
Satellite photos of the area of the Pacific said to be full of garbage. It is not actually there.
We are often confronted by hostile audiences that are completely taken in by this fraud because of the realistic but fake pictures. Some insist it is likely floating just beneath the surface so we can’t see it from a plane or satellite. But nearly all plastic either floats or sinks. Pieces of plastic do not each have buoyancy-compensation devices attached to them.
