We should start by working to keep the ocean clean, then worry about the temperature of the polluted water.

Why is there more interest in controlling the temperature vs the pollution itself?

consumerism needs to change for temperature to change

These are different problems that both need to be addressed as soon as possible, but for different reasons. Having said that, runaway global warming seems like the more pressing existential threat to me.

Climate change may very well be an extinction level event. Plastic in the ocean is not.

Reminder that according to the IPCC there is literally no scenario where the human race is worse off in 2100 than we are now, even if we do nothing about climate change and continue to use fossil fuels.

"Extinction event" narratives are not grounded in reality or backed by the science.
