Here's this thing in the central Pacific the size of Texas. No one talks about it, and it is now twice the size of Texas. Garbage. Marine pollution of floating debris, suspended plastic, the great Pacific garbage patch. Ocean currents in rotational pattern of North Pacific Gyre draw waste from coastal Japan, China, USA. Seabirds there a million years, and some ten million years feed plastic down the throats of the young and they choke to death by thousands, thinking it is fish. Bye bye, Albatross. So, after hiatus of maybe another year CMXXI will pick up with Queen's lines here: ''The changing climate face on planet Earth:/ Though blood run red, who may be good as dead?'' Why should not Chess be tied to things good, kind and lacking cruelty? Environmentalism as theme already having been developed, and Pacific Trash Vortex needs amplification along with climate change per se. ''Humane'' is the one word in our vocabulary that carries its own contradiction in terms, an oxymoron in one word. Try dumb and dumber.
