Melted plastic has become intertwined with rocks on the island, located 1,140 km (708 miles) from the southeastern state of Espirito Santo, which researchers say is evidence of humans’ growing influence over the earth’s geological cycles. “This is new and terrifying at the same time, because pollution has reached geology,” said Fernanda Avelar Santos, a geologist at the Federal University of Parana. [ link to www.cnn.com (secure)] Plastic doesn’t melt at any temperature where water is a liquid. Plastic is organic and decomposes in the sun in a matter of years. “Terrifying because pollution has met geology” what kind of stupid statement is that? Oil is geology. So is uranium.
