So. Next time you see what someone's driving . . .
. . . ask 'em . . .
. . . where's the lake you're takin' your boat to?

'. . . Redfin will announce on Aug. 3 that it is adding local climate risk data to its site, the company told USA TODAY exclusively . . . .
. . . “aha moment” moment came was when he discovered that real estate investors such as banks and insurance companies were using climate risk data to inform their investing decisions . . .

Whaddiya call that?
I know what I call it

At some point, this topic will become very, very obvious . . .

'. . . In this limited pilot study, researchers used infrared imaging and scanning electron microscopes to study heart-tissue samples and blood from 15 patients undergoing cardiac surgeries.
The researchers found nine types of microplastic and tens to thousands of plastic pieces in tissues from most parts of the heart, according to a news release. However, amounts and materials varied among participants . . .'

'. . . A new study has found that the average bottle of water contains nearly a quarter million fragments of “nanoplastics” — plastic particles so small they can potentially gum up the machinery of human cells.
The findings published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) open a disturbing window into a largely unmapped corner of plastic pollution — a region marked by plastics the approximate size of viruses or vaccine particles.
“We know microplastics are always in the environment,” coauthor Beizhan Yan of Columbia University told The Hill. “They are high up in the alpine, and down in the Marianas Trench, and quite a lot in New York City water as well.”
But microplastics are comparatively large and easy to measure, he said — measurable in millionths of a meter, they can be viewed using technology such as a scanning electron microscope.
The team was concerned by nanoplastics, which are particles thousands of times smaller — measurable in billionths of a meter. These smaller sizes can translate to greater danger, Yan said, “because the smaller the particle size, they are easy to get into the human bodies and then cross different barriers.”
The tiny compounds, Yan added, “can cross into the blood, and then can cross the different barriers to get into the cells,” interfering with the organelles — cellular organs — “and causing them to malfunction.”
Both micro- and nanoplastics have been found to have a wide array of dangerous impacts on a staggering array of key systems in the human body, as a December article in The Lancet found.
That survey of recent research found that tiny plastics can interfere with the chemistry of the human body — causing impacts both on and from the communities of microbes in our gut that help us digest food.
Micro- and nanoplastics can lead to “oxidative stress, inflammation, immune dysfunction, altered biochemical and energy metabolism, impaired cell proliferation, disrupted microbial metabolic pathways, abnormal organ development, and carcinogenicity,” the Lancet authors wrote . . .'

All that plastic that we make, from oil we pump out of the ground? --- is turning-up inside of us (like, in your heart) . . .
. . . and no one knows what the effects of that are

He can't summarize anything in one sentence
Everything has to be a multi-color, multi-font triple spaced nonsense post
Must get paid by the post
Like promoting the climate change nonsense on a board that (supposedly) is non-political
How about getting China and India to adopt our emission standards of 1968 that resulted in auto emissions dropping by 99% ?
Or maybe sell your Espo-Resto gas guzzling 911 that emits more than a 100 new cars...
Save this post, for it will soon be deleted. Unlike all the nonsense in this thread
don`t quite think that ALL of the plastic goes in our bodies but i get your point...i try to avoid drinking from plastic containers .. i almost never by bottled water..and if so i buy glass bottles---not sure if the extra weight helps to reduce co2 emissions...over here we have some of the best tab water on this planet...so i drink this(which many of our US tourists can`t imagine to do)---ok it is transported to my house via tubes made of--plastic--(used to be steel)
it is too late our bodies have to get used to it
maybe someday they will melt our dead body's down to make impact bumpers......
self-healing of course...........
