In the 21st century is it acceptable that sewerage is still "flushed" into the seas of the world? Pollution in the world's oceans is terrible - what should we do? |

It's not acceptable, we all have a responsibility.
Governments should be made to act, and that also involves action before any plastic waste gets anywhere near the sea.
One example of this, was Weather spoons last week, doing away with the 2 million plastic drinking straws that they use every year. |

It's not a particular problem providing it's just sewage and it's far enough out!.
It's a bit of a waste though as it makes very good fertilizer which we desperately need |

Did anyone happen to see the new study on expected Australian temperatures in south Australia?.
50 degrees as standard in summers within 8 years.
And that's regardless of whether we keep to the Paris accord of 2 degrees..... 
Like I've been telling you for awhile, it's exponential, the only that could save near term extinction is really bloody big volcano or meteor  |

The right combo of microorganisms could break down the shit and urine into methane. I mean shit is mainly fibre, dead red blood cells and lipid fats.
The issue is laying new sewage ground works to collect the waste, and then having filters to stop the organic matter from plastic waste matter which also gets flushed. |

"Unfortunately people put a lot of stuff down the loo which should go in a bin - baby wipes, cotton buds etc all end up on beaches - check out the Marine Conservation Society beach survey results."
Up, honestly, we need a global task force to sort that shit out.
There's that Dutch chap who is trying t create something to 'sweep the ocean' of plastic I think. |

8 million tons of plastic per year are dumped into the world's oceans!
By any stretch of the imagination, even on here, thats a hell of a lot of plastic! |

It's better to wait for it to break down first like in proper Victorian 3 stage septic tank, the ground around them is super fertile |

There was a picture in the sun newspaper today of a clip from the program blue planet 2 showing a whale that has been dragging it's dead baby's body around for ten day's, they reckon it died from drinking it's mothers milk which has turned toxic from the pollution it's mother has been eating! They didn't say what the pollution was but it's highly likely it was radioactive  |

Then we'd surely see an epidemic in that area, not a one off. |

The problem is to many people on the planet and if you do somethimg about that you get into trouble.
We need to control population world wide but it will not happen so pollution will grow and grow so best to find new technology to control it.
What do we do invent more silly gadgets,are efforts should be into more usefull technology. |

Sorry but it is highly unlikely it was radioactive pollution - more likely PCBs which are fat soluble and accumulate in top predators like whales. Test carcasses washed up on UK coasts have shown very high levels. A lot of this is a legacy as many of these chemicals have been banned but will take many decades to reduce in the environment and whales are long-lived animals. |

"It's high time we banned cremations as well.
Body's make good compost
And the cremations end up in landfill sites."
.
Doesn't quite work like that I'm afraid!
Ash would be a relatively good fertilizer if it's the right material ash but body's do so much more they feed the bacteria, the worms, the microbes, bugs and creep crawlies which give you the best result  |

Radioactive elements tend to be heavy ones, they like to accumulate in top feeders as well, they poison you just like lead or any other heavy elements, of course there also good at staying in your system and giving you dosages of radioactivity for generations, it's no coincidence that since the Iraqi invasion and the tonnes of DU fired over there, birth abnormalities have risen considerably |

So we shouldn't bury the body under the patio or in the cellar, but the garden? |

So the 300 tons of contaminated waste water that the damaged fukushima power plant has been dumping into the Pacific ocean every single day for nearly 7 years where these whale's feed has nothing to do with it then. |

Define surrounding area,3 miles, 30 miles, 300 miles, there's sheep in Snowdonia that's still not safe to eat!.
Belarus has seen significant increases in various forms of cancer, the UK has seen significant increases in some types of cancer, there not entirely sure what the cause is but nobody's proved it's not Chernobyl fall out either |

I have no idea. I just hazily recall a news item about children born in the shadow of chernobyl having a high number of abnormalities. I'm sure google could enlighten us |

Or _ercury. Dolphins are full of it and ironically, they were fed to school children in school meals after being killed in Taiji |

Do indeed end up on landfill sites, complete with their heavy metals etc |

"There was a radioactive cloud over Europe last Week. Somebody farther east is covering up an incident."
Why East? Last week we were dominated by air flow coming down from the arctic and pulled across from canada/alaska...maybe russia |

We were Eastern and central Europe wasn't.
Best guess was a leak from a reprocessing plant in south Russia
