    Meh, this is only 461,790 gallons or so. Willing to wager we spill far more than this every day into the ocean just by regular drilling.

    The issue would be how close this is and can it impact any tourist sights etc.

    Otherwise nobody will pay to have it dealt with.

    If you think world governments and corporations care about climate change…. Haha

    We all need to commute 45 minutes to 1.5 hours to work every day here in the USA.

    But damn if I’m going to use a plastic straw

        Starting somewhere isn’t helping. We have to fundamentally change just about every aspect of our current way of life if we are going to reverse climate change.

        Recycling and eating less meat and using paper straws won’t do it.

        It just won’t.

      A lot actually do, that’s why progress is happening, although not nearly fast enough.

      We all need to commute 45 minutes to 1.5 hours to work every day here in the USA.

      You don’t need to. A lot of people have much shorter commutes. But yes I agree with you, the US is way too suburbanised, and people need to push for more urbanization, 15 minute cities, etc.

      But damn if I’m going to use a plastic straw

      There are hundreds of things that we need to change in the fight to be sustainable. This is one of them. Just because it’s not everything doesn’t make it not worthwhile.
