>In 2016, a research expedition looked at the chemical makeup of crustacean scavengers collected from the range of7,841–10,250 metres (25,725–33,629 ft) within the trench. Within these organisms, the researchers found extremely elevated concentrations of PCBs, a chemical toxin banned in the 1970s for its environmental harm, concentrated at all depths within the sediment of the trench.[50] Further research has found that amphipods also ingest microplastics, with 100% of amphipods having at least one piece of synthetic material in their stomachs.[51][52]

>In 2019, Victor Vescovo reported finding a plastic bag and candy wrappers at the bottom of the trench.[53] That year, Scientific American also reported that carbon-14 from nuclear bomb testing has been found in the bodies of aquatic animals found in the trench.[54]

How come science never cleans up after itself? Why are scientists always insisting its everyone else's responsibility to pay for cleaning up the scientists' messes?

imagine blaming scientists for consumption and government fuckery

I agree, Teflon, plastic, gasoline, nuclear should never have been invented. Those scientists are literally worse than Hitler, Stalin, Mao combined.

Why are you such a fucking retard?

It is our responsibility to clean soience and its adherents off this planet.

>carbon-14 from nuclear bomb testing
How do they know carbon 14 is from some nuke? Carbon 14 is a normal isotope in the atmosphere

because atmospheric carbon-14 doesn't normally double in a span of 5 years.

Too much lead exposure, microplastics in the blood stream, too much carbon dioxide. Etc.

Science: Figuring out that there is such a thing as PCB
Engineering: Turning PCB into something useful
Marketing: Selling PCB to idiots such as yourself
Accounting: Making selling PCB profitable
Etc.

Of all of these things, why is "science" to blame?

so what you're saying is that scientists are irresponsible for their activities and for the consequences of their activities?
op is saying scientists are irresponsible, you're bragging about it.
>i'm proud of scientists' irresponsibility
babies are irresponsible, adults have to clean up after them. are scientists babies?

>> No.14702095

>>14701408
hmm I wonder why scientists are researching the effects of these things
could it be that they are looking into ways to solve these problems, perhaps?
