- escape_goat 5y agoThis is a false assertion. There is always carbon in the atmosphere and there should always be carbon in the atmosphere. The only thing that has a negative impact is when the total amount of carbon is excessive. "Plastics in a landfill" are poorly and temporarily sequestered and are a potential source of future groundwater contamination.
- saddlerustle 5y agoIt’s very well established that the current amount of carbon is the atmosphere is excessive.
- escape_goat 5y agoYes. That was not what you claimed and it does not imply that your argument is correct, for reasons that I feel I've spelt out fairly patiently. You are welcome to remain opposed to the incineration of plastic waste, but I feel that your reasoning suffers from tunnel vision.
