Cutting emissions and not dumping waste into the ocean are both the “right thing to do”, but we don’t stop one ‘cause no current impact, and we focus on another ‘cause “we have to do our part” when our part essentially does nothing.
I may be somewhat jaded here, but when I went to New Delhi and experienced that level of pollution, knowing other countries are as bad or worse, it left me extremely sceptical that any effort we make here will change a thing, but we still do, so why ignore other issues like dumping waste? Seems hypocritical.

Why is dumping waste an issue?
Why is stopping raw sewage in the ocean the right thing to do?
I think the short answer would be the oceans current capacity to handle raw sewage in high current deep water areas is probably under utilized on a global scale and could be expanded whereas the atmosphere ability to handle co2 has been exceeded therefore all emitters need to cut.
Bringing in moralization to it is unnecessary.
