what Mr Clavert has said here about Christiana Figueres is as close to a word perfect quote as possible.
'Scuse my french, but I'm calling bull$#!t on that!
>I watched a video of here actually saying so within the past week. That is her goal within the UN.
Then perhaps you'd care to post a link to it? But you won't, because no such video exists.
>Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is not dangerous to anyone or anything
>in the proportions that are expected within the next century.
It's already having a dangerous effect on the climate, and that effect is going to get far worse if we carry on the way we have been.

AIUI the transfer of plastic nanoparticles into the bloodstream and organs has been proved in animals, and while it may not yet have been proven in humans, there's no reason to suppose it won't occur in humans, the toxins commonly found in plastic nanoparticles have been detected in human urine, and it's expected measurement of plastic nanoparticles in humans will commence later this year.
I don't know if there's any evidence it occurs in the brain though.

That's good... in the minority of cases where the remains of the animal sink all the way to the bottom. But isn't it far more common for them to be scavenged beforehand?
