Sarg_Alert

 Been trying to make sense of the Sargassum problem currently 

hitting beaches on the south Atlantic coastline. Woke up this morning

with a flash that I had cracked the core problem: Sargassum Spread may

not be a Climate Change problem; it is a pollution problem. Those masses

on the shores are full of plastic!!


Is the presence of plastic what accounts for the persistance and enlargement 

of what is essentially a marine ecosystem. I would be curious to know what

is going on with it in the Atlantic,,,because we may need to intervene in a

very serious fashion.

The phenomenon is not new: Christopher Columbus knew it had to be avoided...
