One of the less-obvious harms the Cabal's deceptive and maliciously conceived pseudo-crises cause is the misdirection of our efforts and resources regarding environmental problems.

The increasing levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, from almost nothing to slightly more than nothing (by comparison, the dinosaurs enjoyed a lush world with about FIVE TIMES the level of CO2 that we have today) are not an actual problem, much less an existential crisis requiring the crashing of the global economy and transformation of human society into a one-world government run by mass-murdering psychopaths. But SOME environmental problems ARE real and in a sane world would be attended to.

The article doesn't even address the issue of PFAS chemicals in sea life and, inevitably, the sea food we eat. While those chemicals "concentrate on the surface of water", I'd be interested to know what the PFAS levels are in the crab cakes and Ahi that I'm having for dinner.


Ocean waves crashing on the world’s shores emit more PFAS into the air than the world’s industrial polluters, new research has found, raising concerns about environmental contamination and human exposure along coastlines.

The study measured levels of PFAS released from the bubbles that burst when waves crash, spraying aerosols into the air. It found sea spray levels were hundreds of thousands times higher than levels in the water.

The contaminated spray likely affects groundwater, surface water, vegetation, and agricultural products near coastlines that are far from industrial sources of PFAS, said Ian Cousins, a Stockholm University researcher and the study’s lead author.

“There is evidence that the ocean can be an important source [of PFAS air emissions],” Cousins said. “It is definitely impacting the coastline.”

PFAS are a class of 15,000 chemicals used across dozens of industries to make products resistant to water, stains and heat. Though the compounds are highly effective, they are also linked to cancer, kidney disease, birth defects, decreased immunity, liver problems and a range of other serious diseases.**
