A new report carried out by Ocean Alliance indicates a tremendous man-made tragedy is already well under way. 955 whales were tested during a 5-year study, in locations all over the planet and many far from human habitation.
The study found high levels of cadmium, aluminum, chromium, lead, silver, mercury and titanium.
“These contaminants, I think, are threatening the human food supply. They certainly are threatening the whales and the other animals that live in the ocean,” said biologist Roger Payne.
The fact that these toxins(many cancer-causing in humans and in dangerous amounts)are so widespread in the sea, is proof that we are destroying this planet. Deforestation, overgrazing, genetic modification, global warming, oil and radioactive material leaks, over-hunting, overfishing, factory farming and related diseases...the list goes on.
It is time that the environment becomes more of a concern of all nations.
Before it is too late.
