Oceans Empty By 2048?

F34nor writes to mention a CBS news article about the depopulation of ocean species. According to a study by a scientist in Halifax, Nova Scotia and assisted by research from all around the world, the world's oceans will be emptied of large lifeforms by 2048. From the article: "Already, 29% of edible fish and seafood species have declined by 90% — a drop that means the collapse of these fisheries. But the issue isn't just having seafood on our plates. Ocean species filter toxins from the water. They protect shorelines. And they reduce the risks of algae blooms such as the red tide. 'A large and increasing proportion of our population lives close to the coast; thus the loss of services such as flood control and waste detoxification can have disastrous consequences,' Worm and colleagues say."

    that's all we need - more mouths to feed. More people. crowd the planet until it is one giant city running on empty.

    Stupid humans - running to the cliff. Consuming resources like yeast in a bottle of grape juice. Eventually we will die in our own shit. Leaving behind an intoxicating stew of death.

    die you stupid fucks. make more babies. watch them die. "BUT I JUST GOTTA HAVE A BABY!" she cried. "I gotta have a pile of young'ns to inherit my world!" he yelped. DIE YOU STUPID FUCKS! And take your SUVs WITH YOU! Jesus AIN'T comin' for your sorry behind. Just gonna let you STARVE! And SHIVER! The natural gas will be gone soon enough so you won't be cookin' jackshit anyway. Stupid fucks! DIE! and you think nuclear fission will come to the rescue? Sorry, no - it's a finite resource too. And you think solar power's gonna save you? Think again, stupid fucks. Die stupid fucks. If solar power doubled in output year over year, it'll take decades before it even approachs half your needs, and by then, you're screwed.

    Right around the time the fish run out. And you'll think you'll burn soybean oil for your cars? No way, stupid fucks. You'll be starving for that oil. you think you're going to finance your way out of it? Haha - jokes on you - stupid fucks. The USA is down by 9 trillion bucks - at a million a day it'll be sometime after the next ice age you stupid fucks pay that off. die you stupid fucks. you and your stupid babies - put your ear to rail and hear what's coming.

    In the twenty-first century - you'll do the ghost dance.

    die you stupid fucks. Die. Starve and freeze and murder each other for the few remaining resources - like a bunch of lemmings, like a bunch of yeast - you will over populate and DIE you stupid fucks DIE. you'll fry each other's cities with nuclear weapons, you'll be back in the stone age before you can say "four gigabytes of RAM", you'll be eating your neighbour's food after you kill him and dismantle his McMansion for the firewood.

    you'll be crying like a bunch of babies because there's no energy for your playstation or xbox. Wah wah wah - I can't play my games! No world of Warcraft, because it will be a world OF WAR all around you, and you will weep like the spoiled rotten retarded bunch of fat whiners you are. die you stupid fucks. die.

    Die you stupid fucks. Die.

    RS

    Stupid fucks will mod me a troll - the wise will listen to the last prophecy that ever mattered, and will make their plans accordingly.
