Texas is much bigger than England,,, much. Google images for “Texas Europe size comparison”.
Its really kind of funny. And Alaska makes it ridiculous.
My comment to all these articles is “Prove it!”. This is just speculation. If there is something that big in the ocean, we should have plenty of photos. None produced with the article except what looks to be 500 square feet of floating debris. The so called plastic gyre suffers from the same lack of credibility. The libs assert, everyone believes, without any proof. Not me.
