Viral, huh? Exaggerate, huh? So you say you want something dramatic, eh?

Well, here you go.. and, BTW, this isn't a debate on whether global warming is man-made or real or not --this is actual animal death caused by actual human activity. There is no debate that human's trash, crop runoff, and effluent is killing the ocean.

It was bizarre to see that much garbage in what should be pristine ocean."

'BIZARRE' isn't the word I'd use. More like DISGUSTING and SAD.

One fact that left me horrified and speechless... nearly 1/4 of the Great Barrier Reef underwent severe bleaching (coral death) this year.

Not to mention the ~ 200 underwater dead zones. After the Deepwater Horizon, almost all of the gulf is now a dead zone.

Do you know why they're 'toxic' algae blooms? Algae makes a biotoxin called domoic acid that causes:

vomiting, nausea, diarrhea and abdominal cramps within 24 hours of ingestion, headache, dizziness, confusion, disorientation, loss of short-term memory, motor weakness, seizures, profuse respiratory secretions, cardiac arrhythmias, coma, and possible death

The earth's oceans account for nearly 80 percent of breathable-oxygen. Kill the ocean and we ALL die.

How about them apples??

To get an article published and make it go viral, you have to exaggerate and conjure an image of something visually dramatic.

OK, how about this? Chris says that he didn't touch anything... he only took pictures. I believe him.

And the recent survey of the largest coral bleaching took out almost 1/4 of the Great Barrier Reef.

There's too much illness to report.. too many deaths from debris, bycatch, and overfishing, not to mention ~ 200 dead zones around the world.

There's NO distortion, rather there's no reporting of this in mainstream media. Obviously.

Kill the ocean and we ALL die. Forests barely make 20 percent of breathable oxygen.

The earth doesn’t share our prejudice toward plastic. Plastic came out of the earth.

The same can't be said of seabirds and turtles.

Indeed. Chris Jordan's Midway Atoll filmshoot made me rethink using disposable plastic *anything*, especially bright colors: On Midway Atoll, a remote cluster of islands more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent, the detritus of our mass consumption surfaces in an astonishing place: inside the stomachs of thousands of dead baby albatrosses. The nesting chicks are fed lethal quantities of plastic by their parents, who mistake the floating trash for food as they forage over the vast polluted Pacific Ocean.

You are trivializing this. I recently built a PC with 4 GB of RAM, and have been introduced to the world of pain this means in the mainstream PC world. Starting with the fact many boards only have two slots, and 2 MB chips are incredibly expensive, next on to BIOS compatibility issues, then on to operating system compatibility issues. Maybe in a year this will be a non issue, but for now it's painful, and it means so many more PCs are effectively obsoleted by "improvements" that can't even be explained clearly. http://www.chrisjordan.com/
