See now, this is why I don't eat seafood:
Salt-Water Fish Extinction Seen By 2048.
Now, I take this with a bit of a grain of salt. This seems a bit "Day After Tomorrow"-ish. But at the same time, they're probably right (just maybe not on the right time scale). At the same time, we need to stop over-fishing areas. We need to stop dumping pollutants into the water.
When are we (humans) going to realize that it's not
our world. It's every creature's, every plant's world. Who in the fuck are we to come along and fuck it all up? What gives us the right?

Now, I could talk seriously about how I don't trust studies like this. Or about how even though I don't trust their methods, I still think that we need to be careful rather than careless. Instead, I really just feel like singing "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish."

Funny that you said, "Take this with a grain of salt." If you really want to learn more about the state of our seas and how they got that way, you should read "Salt" and then "Cod", both by Mark Kurlansky. Great books.

On second thought ... it's probably better to read "Cod" and then "Salt".

Humans will continue to ruin the world until something bigger and badder comes along. Like Aliens or something.
