You really are a miserable old wench. Sheesh!Stay out of the ocean bitch and you wont get ran over.Cruise ships are back. And it’s a catastrophe for the environment
Cruise ships kill whales, leak gray water, and are largely exempt from US taxation. When they violate the law, they pay the equivalent of a parking ticket.
to the Ocean Conservancy, gray water discharges “can lead to oxygen depletion, spread pathogenic bacteria and viruses and increase nutrient levels in the surrounding ecosystem. Higher nutrient levels can lead to toxic blooms and dead zones that can cause harmful disturbances throughout food chains.”
There's more, much more...
Cruise ships are disgusting. I think they are a perfect metaphor for the arrogance and ignorance of humankind, and the worst ways in which we have disconnected ourselves from nature and attempted to control it just because we think we can.
