"Might", "possible", "may", "potential" all seem to be the most damning terms applied to this issue in those papers. Lots of suggestions, no proof. Given the ubiquity that the original research is suggesting the effects should be obvious and pervasive, particularly in animals with shorter lifecycles. At this point I am going to assume that if this is the best you have the answer to the question is 'no, there is no evidence but we are still looking' and that the rest of your grand claims are equally suspect.
- gattis 5y agoI have this same argument every time someone brings up microplastics and I ask them if thats a bad thing or something we should worry about. They send me articles for days trying to prove me wrong and every single one just says it "might" as if they are the first ones to come up with an untested hypothesis.
