The experts/scientists say that it is so large (yes almost twice the area of Texas) that there is no solution to the problem. It would almost literally bankrupt the world to clean it up. The best hope is to prevent it from getting larger. Good luck. The great world powers cannot even muster the ability to fight the resurgence of piracy on the high seas as well as in intra-national shipping lanes.

We don't need to worry about the question of "Global Warming". If we choke the life out of the oceans none of us will live to know if global warming is a fact or a fiction. This is a real and an immediate problem that really cannot go away on its own. Woe to the creature that fouls its own nest!

Please pass the Soylent Green.
