clearly. who are your sources that say that the oceans will not be dead?
the movie does have their sources, in video with credentials.
I am an evolutionist.....I believe in science and critical thinking.
from the movie.
Now, with his new book and film, he's sounding an ambitious alarm on a much bigger cause: the future of humanity.
"This century we're facing some pretty catastrophic consequences of our actions," an impassioned and fact-filled Stewart, 32, said in a recent interview.
"We're facing a world by 2050 that has no fish, no reefs, no rainforest, and nine billion people on a planet that already can't sustain seven billion people. So it's going to be a really dramatic century unless we do something about it."
Stewart is delivering his grave and urgent message in his recently published memoir, "Save the Humans" (Random House of Canada), and the documentary "Revolution," premiering Wednesday at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The book is chock-full of sobering statistics about the massive depletion of fish populations as well as the wide-reaching threat of ocean acidification.

OP
I presume no press is because the mass media is in the corporation pockets

Kind of hard to get excited about a movie that won't hit US theaters for another 6 months. . .

It has not been released in the US as yet, but it is getting major buzz at festival screenings

So, perhaps the specific phrase "no life in the oceans" is an exaggeration or a misstatement...

No problem. I understand the need for scientific precision, but the larger point is what matters.

I understand, but there's a difference between making stuff up and what I think the poster did.

The title of the book I am talking about is Moby DUCK - not the classic Moby Dick by Melville
