This is a horse shit study turned into click bait. It's a meta analysis (aka they built linear regression models on top of reported numbers in papers over a 37 year time span) and they explicitly state that it mostly applies to cetaceans rather than human beings. There are other results in the paper that indicate the methodology was flawed: aka other closely related, or ecologically similar worm species didn't increase in the samples in the meta data. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mYokKOGyhQxKntSnogcm_ZFSzLMK-aB7 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mYokKOGyhQxKntSnogcm... There's a larger lesson to be learned here, but at the moment stating the obvious about mass media dipshits reporting on bad stats doesn't seem to be appreciated.
