Part of it is, the "population problem" isn't really one, in 1st world countries with birth control. Warren DeMontague May 2015 #46

There aren't too many humans. The problem is the humans that are in charge KittyWampus May 2015 #21

So you're saying a small number of people are responsible for acidification of oceans, Gregorian May 2015 #44

So I take it you are delivering this message to the countries Warren DeMontague May 2015 #47

There are no borders. It's a matter of total numbers. Gregorian May 2015 #71

No, it isn't. That's another completely ludicrous assertion, that global population is somehow Warren DeMontague May 2015 #74

Obviously one goes where they can make the biggest impact. That's academic. Gregorian May 2015 #75

Okay, making this a better planet, yes. But if you are talking about 1st world countries with access Warren DeMontague May 2015 #77

i agree with you because this problem with more than one issue needs to be addressed differently jwirr May 2015 #79

You will get no argument from me, on any of that. Warren DeMontague May 2015 #88

Collectively as a species, we are morons. GoneFishin May 2015 #4

There's no mystery to boom and bust sardine populations. sufrommich May 2015 #6

Does this mean we're all not gonna die? B2G May 2015 #17

No, we're still all gonna die. sufrommich May 2015 #18

Damn. Back to smoking. B2G May 2015 #20

You only say that because everyone had died so far... Salviati May 2015 #37

Right, and climate change is natural. The ocean's problems go a lot further KittyWampus May 2015 #22

I'm not making the claim that climate change is natural sufrommich May 2015 #26

I linked to an LATimes article just below. Scientists aren't certain what part overfishing plays KittyWampus May 2015 #35

I also think that the ocean, being a system, may not be subject to either/or black/white dichotomies Warren DeMontague May 2015 #41

Very well said! KittyWampus May 2015 #70

Sorry, i stopped with the article when they tried to blame it on Fukushima. Warren DeMontague May 2015 #27

Well, here's an article from the LATimes that has no mention of "woo-Fukushima": KittyWampus May 2015 #34

Not being a "climate change denier", I wouldn't know. Warren DeMontague May 2015 #39

The decline in both sardine and herring fisheries in Pacific Ocean is killing truedelphi May 2015 #10

It was my earlier post about the pups that got me digging deeper into this arcane1 May 2015 #11

I was wondering what was going on with the seals. This is terrible. liberal_at_heart May 2015 #12

Which is why many large, western coastal streams/major tribs are..... Chakaconcarne May 2015 #45

That is very important information to add to the discussion. n/t truedelphi May 2015 #72

Sardine populations crash periodically. Hasn't anybody been to Monterey? LeftyMom May 2015 #13

Unfortunately, the sea lions are suffering from this too arcane1 May 2015 #14

There is most likely a correlation,but that is not proof sufrommich May 2015 #24

It's at least as likely that the cause of the sea lion problem is warm water due to the drought. LeftyMom May 2015 #36

Good thing it's not radiation RobertEarl May 2015 #48

So--if one rejects ANY piece of overblown Fukushima hyperbolic bullshit, one must love fission power Warren DeMontague May 2015 #49

No it's all woo RobertEarl May 2015 #50

Straw man. Warren DeMontague May 2015 #51

Fukushima is a real problem for the local area. Warren DeMontague May 2015 #55

You think? RobertEarl May 2015 #56
