That should read "Deeper cuts to the population are needed". That is the underlying problem with so many issues in the world from pollution to political to socioeconomic issues. Too many of us.

Wrong. Always.
The fish are gone because the seals ate them all … or so the East Coast fishermen say. Which makes you wonder how there can still be "too many" seals if they've supposedly eaten their own food sources to oblivion.
Uh…wrong.
The blame for the collapse of the east coast fishery can be placed squarely on the decks of foreign vessels(portugese,spanish abd scandinavian) netting anything and everything until it was all gone,while Canadians struggled with lower and lower quotas.
Seals are only assumed to be slowing the recovery of fish stocks.

I found this article interesting. I found it rather ironic it was on Fox news.
http://www.foxnews.com/science/2012/09/26/one-million-new-plankton-species-found/
How can Fox news talk about climate change? They've been saying for years that it's a
hoax and only made up by scientists so they can get more funding.
Whatever fucks up huge animals like Orca must really mess up these little guys/girls.
A team of marine scientists have discovered up to a million new species of plankton during a 70,000-mile voyage around the world's oceans.
The microscopic sea life was found during Tara Oceans expedition lasting more than two years and aimed at learning more about the effects of climate change.
The sailing ship's journey took more than two years as it sailed from home in France through the Mediterranean, the Gulf and Indian Ocean to Cape Town.
'It's the first time that anyone's done this expedition looking specifically for plankton life, and that's why we found so many.'
- Expedition leader Chris Bowler
After crossing the South Atlantic, the ship headed into the Antarctic, and then into the South Pacific, reaching Hawaii in September last year and then moving off to its home leg across the North Pacific, through the Panama Canal and across the North Atlantic.
"It's the first time that anyone's done this expedition looking specifically for plankton life, and that's why we found so many," expedition leader Dr Chris Bowler said.
**"These planktonic organisms are the life support system of the planet.
"They are the base of the food chain … if there's no plankton, there's no fish in the oceans. They also, through photosynthesis, generate oxygen - in fact they generate the oxygen in every second breath that we breathe so they're incredibly important on a planetary scale.
"And they take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere by taking it into the interior of the ocean where it can be stored for thousands of millions of years so they're an essential buffer against climate change due to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere."

The team also said it found evidence of another of mankind's detrimental effects on the planet - hundreds of thousands of bits of plastic floating in the Antarctic.

Hell yeah, let us all enjoy some apocalyptic-ish porn. I have a serious problem ith all those little snippets, videos and all the rest that endlessly repeats that we are facing serious trouble….they do not offer any kind of solution, are not interested in a solution and probably do not give a shit about a solution - otherwise their vrilliant journalism would not sell.
What a waste of time.

With all this fear mongering, I'd love to figure out how to cash in on this. Maybe I should
start a cult?

I now live on an island that does not rise up more than 50ft from sea level. Let me ask the fisherman who lives in a hut close to where he parks his boat for the last 56 years if the sea is rising. So far I have heard no complaints.
Well, something is happening, definitely - it may not be that big BOOOOOOM sound we all wait for, thanks goes to the cheesy 2012 apocalyptic pron - but it does happen. It just happens very slow, probably so slow at times that us humans with the "need for speed" won't register it as much as, say, a waay slower growing tree does.
I am just sick of all this doom. We can change our own, private and personal way of doing things - shopping, living, etc. Sure, it is a bit too late, but I rather eat veggies from local farmers and my own patch of garden than buying strawberries from China. The old "think global, act local" is still worth pursuing - and, no, I do not eat seafish, if I get the fish cravings - I buy locally bred trout and other fish.
