After releasing the WOD13 in 2013 it has been updated several times.
Now that I have a handle on the WOD file structure, which comes from the experience of using the data in the 2013 release, I am incorporating the updates (~9.2 Gigabytes of data) into the mix (WOD Updates).
That should bring us up to 2016, and make changes in the graphs that will be produced.
But, it won't change what happened before that time will it?
I mean the stuff this Dredd Blog Series focuses on, for example the GGG (Garbage, Garbage, Garbage) continent which too many casual observers are waiting for Columbus to discover (New Continent Found - Garbage Gyre II, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, [note especially the first episode]).
What happens when the GGG becomes microscopic plastic is beginning to be studied even as we speak:
They're everywhere, even in the deep, open ocean. They are microplastics, and researchers want to know how they might be affecting biodiversity in the middle of the Atlantic.(Microplastics found deep in oceans). The odd thing about The Garbage Continent, now, is that it is a normal continent in a normal civilization (I use the word "normal" in the sense of "the new normal" bandied about these
Though their research is just beginning, a team of scientists from the U.K. National Oceanography Centre have found microplastics throughout the first 1,000 meters -- or half-mile -- of the North Atlantic's water column.
Yes, the new normal civilization is essentially like the old normal civilizations:
"In other words, a society does not ever die 'from natural causes', but always dies from suicide or murder --- and nearly always from the former, as this chapter has shown."(A Study of History, by Arnold J. Toynbee).
And just in case you did not yet hear, this is what plastic, a part of the soul of civilization, and other stuff like it is made of (Oil-Qaeda juice):
