Now in the heart of the North Pacific Gyre, Marcus and Joel begin trawling for plastic debris aboard JUNK - an oceangoing raft built from 15,000 plastic bottles.
Still from this clip are being used to prove the gyre is fiction because the surface skimmer shows none in it. This is far from a scientific expedition. Is the boat is where it says it is? The boat could have been going in a tight circle in a patch free from surface debris. Other studies showed plastic floating just beneath the surface--this technique misses that. And so on. Also, the last scene in the clip SHOWS junk plastic. Those using this clip as a proof disingenuously ignored that portion.
Ah..only 3 years old (since it was uploaded. God only knows when it was filmed. I wonder what it is like now.
