The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) is a swirling island of mostly plastic that is more than twice the size of Texas, and I purchased a time share there. It's very quiet and peaceful here. In fact, except for a very angry tribe of Sentinelese natives on the north shore, I have this flotsam to myself. You get used to the jellyfish for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Every once in a while you may score a floating twinkie still in its wrapper. The GPGP is constantly on the move, so you never know what you're going to get with the night sky. I read somewhere that environmentalists want this paradise removed from the ocean, but reports have estimated it to be expanding 10-fold each decade, so my beautiful beach just keeps getting bigger! I may just stay here until the shoreline finally expands to reach Asia and North America so I can just walk back and save air fare.
Fun Fact: Did you know that keying 1,000 Teslas will lower the Earths temperature by .0001 degrees?
I don't believe the statistic about keying Teslas. The friction of keying is twice the amount of saved energy. I did the math, have a spreadsheet, and will only release it after I receive tenure at Harvard. For some reason, they've been ignoring my correspondence.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... I must not have carried the one. Who am I to question a Harvard Climate scientist! 🤣
