Thanks, Guy, for another illuminating nature tidbit. I am reminded of the foam in the little creek across the street from the house I grew-up in, 3500 Polley Rd., Hilliard, Ohio. It turned out to be the outflow of the Hilliard sewage treatment plant. I share your dire assessment and future predictions of the consequence of our massive human overpopulation/overconsumption. What could go wrong? Everything, even the sea foam? Nature Bats last!

Most people cannot accept that COLLAPSE has already started.

Most people cannot imagine a FUTURE that is fundamentally different from the present.

Most people have a religious FAITH in Technology and BELIEVE that solutions will ALWAYS "manifest" themselves when things start to get bad.

Have you read the book, "The Wizard and the Prophet"?

People ALWAYS want to believe the Wizards, because the alternative requires CHANGE and more than anything else people want STABILITY.

Most people cannot accept that we have forced a "state change" on the Climate System and that the CONSEQUENCES of that are about to manifest.

Roughly 2 billion people are going to die over the next 10 years as we reach +2°C of warming.

MAYBE then, most people will start to listen.
