More evidence why all plastic must be banned on the planet!!
Racist!
(Just ask John Wiley Price.)
Why are there four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire?
What happens when they wind up in the Pacific Ocean?
The sun is poisoning the water! The sun is poisoning the water!
I call for a meeting of all scientists and baseball managers to discuss this and find an immediate solution!
Right off the top of my head, I’m thinking maybe a big blackout curtain.
Does it help lower the evaporation rate, i think it would be good for that also.
For some reason a 48 million man march came to mind......
Huell Howser did one of his California Gold Shows about this years ago.
Yet another reason to avoid Los Angeles water.
I can taste the plastic in PEX waterlines, so I am pretty sure I would taste the plastic from these things.
Not enough nopes in all of Nopeland!
Somewhere on the other side of the universe there’s a lake with 96,000,000 white balls.
“that turns harmless bromide into carcinogenic bromate”
Where does the bromide in the water come from?
Bromides creates protein coupling thereby improving water quality.Depleting sunlight has a wide range of effects. Reducing algae is primary among them. Algae reduction increases nitrates and reduces nutrition for fish.
By increasing toxicity and reducing nutrition secondary pathogens proliferate. Biomass kills are the inevitable result.
Reducing surface exposure has the added effect of reducing CO2 / O2 exchange, creating a dead zone. In Gulf areas this is magnified by highly toxic red tide.
This is a perfect example of bureaucratic problem solving. By solving one problem their fix creates a dozen more, creating more opportunity for bureaucratic meddling.
Black plastic balls are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Buttgiggity’s nipples just exploded.
is this a case of black supremacy? Black entitlement? Why no fuchsia?
When will they name it Lake Kardashian? ;^)
“Why Are 96,000,000 Black Balls on This Reservoir?”
Because having 96,000,000 White Balls would be racist?
I knew a girl who used to sail around with blue balls, her first husband.
Couldn’t the same thing be done with straws?
“Bromide is present in typical seawater (35 PSU) with a concentration of around 65 mg/L, which is around 0.2% of all dissolved salts. Seafoods and deep sea plants generally have high levels of bromide, while foods derived from land have variable amounts. Bromargyryte - natural, crystalline silver bromide - is the most common bromide mineral currently known. It is still very rare. Beside silver, bromine is sometimes found in minerals combined with mercury and copper.[3]”
Does this mean they will cover the seas too? Apparently normal sea water has about 650 times that in the LA Lake.
