I suspect that this issue is even more mired in politics than is
the rising sea level notion. I have heard people say that we have
destroyed the atmosphere and polluted the ocean, etc, but I can
still breathe just fine, and I have eaten fish from the sea for many
years, and I can tell no difference in their taste.
When your friend talks about polluted oceans, does he specify
what exactly it is that the ocean is besmirched by? Does he note
that he is coated with some foreign matter when emerging from
a swim in the sea?
