RE: Nonsense

Comment comment by VnutZ on 06 November 2006

All they had to do is call up an economist buddy of theirs. As the seafood population dwindles (lower supply) the cost will rise. Certainly the population will suffer, but they seafood will continue. The question is will *you* be able to eat any.

I'm not too concerned about the loss of sea-life because I can't stand seafood. However, isn't there some huge correlation to plankton and oxygen?

But that aside, it's not really a matter of the price driving down consumerism. The study indicated it was not a factor of overharvesting the sea, rather, a combination of that and environmental change and pollution. Those two factors will continue regardless of how much it costs.

Yep, you're right. The cumulative pollution and other things that people pour into the ocean will eventually destroy most of the sea life. However, according to the Theory of Evolution, some species(the fittest) will survive. So not all sea creatures will die.
