Fears over plastic-eating coral in Australia's Barrier Reef
Corals in the Great Barrier Reef are eating small plastic debris in the ocean, Australian researchers said on Tuesday, raising fears about the impact the indigestible fragments have on their health and other marine life.
The scientists found that when they placed corals from the reef into plastic-contaminated water, the marine life "ate plastic at rates only slightly lower than their normal rate of feeding on marine plankton", the study published in the journal Marine Biology said.
"If microplastic pollution increases on the Great Barrier Reef, corals could be negatively affected as their tiny stomach cavities become full of indigestible plastic," Mia Hoogenboom of Queensland state's James Cook University said.
Translation - The environmentalists are sheeting a pill because the earth figured out a way, as it always has, to degrade plastic so it takes a major scare tactic away from their fundraising potential, follow the money.
The fiddling with temperature data is the biggest science scandal ever

How can anyone trust these computer models....it's been proven time and time again they are all fudged! I find it hard to believe that models based on several hundred years of info at best, can predicted something that's been happening since ever.
