I am assuming it adds more carbon and pollution to the atmosphere, but aren’t cars and cargo ships doing the same thing? If that’s the case why can’t we just burn it instead of dumping it in the ocean? Is dumping it into the sea really that much of a better option? Why is it better to pollute the sea with large clumps of plastic?

Burning plastic releases toxic chemicals. It takes special, expensive, equipment to clean the toxins out of the exhaust. Plastic isn’t dumped in the ocean. It gets in the ocean due to attempts to recycle it which don’t work. Plastic isn’t recyclable.
