World's Appetite for Tuna Threatens Supply

"Marine biologists say not only bluefin tuna but also other fish stocks are plummeting across the world, upsetting delicate natural food chains. Some fear irreversible damage has already been done."

Ecopalypse is breathing down our necks . . . I've been giving the human species ~300 years until it simply becomes too late to relocate; we will have become yet another failed evolutionary experiment.

I'm beginning to wonder if I was being hopelessly optimistic. When stuff starts happening to the oceanic food-chain, I get scared. The oceans are the bedrock of life as we understand it. One extinguished species might be all it takes to turn the biosphere against us.

And we just keep pushing it.

We're like locusts, forever gnashing our mandibles while the world disintegrates around us.
