Is the material that pottery is composed of dangerous? How many shipwrecks occurred where pots were lost compared to the amount of plastics we produce today that end up in the ocean?


My point was that the geological process is ancient, and hardly news.

Of the 3 items I mentioned, by far the worst (given that we've been burning it for centuries) is plausibly coal. For example - https://phys.org/news/2020-01-shutdown-coal-fired-crop-yield...


Are those points of contention? Does it the length of time have an impact on whether it's dangerous?

I'm sure the amount pre industrial revolution is insignificantly small compared to recent decades


Pottery is essentially man-made metamorphic rock made from sediment.
