If things are that bad then nothing that man can do will make one bit of difference (as if they ever did).

I think that the people at the UN, NationalEnquirer, Mad Magazine, and the Onion are all the same people.

The UN reports are just more subtle about it. (Although their “spy vs spy” is almost as good as Mad’s version)

The UN publishes stuff just to see if we are dumb enough to believe it!

The UN has no clue, no freaking clue, how vast the oceans are. No freaking clue.

Not that it matters. They aren’t concerned about saving fish, just killing off man and destroying our societies. They aren’t fooling anybody.

“It’s at least 10 billion times worse than what we think!!!”

Yes it is. The North Atlantic cod population collapsed and has been preserved only by means of severe restrictions. It is nowhere near what it was, even so. The orange roughie you used to be able to order at run of the mill restaurants is about gone. Those were 60 year old fillets you were eating. Roughies are rare and grow oh so slowly, what's left of them, in the deeps off new Zealand.

The Tragedy of the Commons is most perfectly illustrated in the ocean fishery industry.
