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...
