I'm not an expert on the responsibility thing, but here are a few possible options:
1. If you believe in SR, then you created the circumstances. Not by dumping waste into the ocean, but by cultivating waste in your consciousness. Are you feeling especially toxic? Then you are subconsciously creating a news report than corresponds.
2. You are responsible, but that doesn't mean you caused it. I think this is better than the 'I caused it' mentality, because that's just spreading blame. It's like Erin's stale bread epiphany. Whoever did it, don't just complain about it, do something to fix it. 'They' may be at fault, but you're the one experiencing it by watching the news.
