what will we be eating instead i wonder?

I just saw this - scarey stuff.

I just hope that people start seeing that we can't just carry on screwing the planet over and expect to get away with it.

The idea of protected areas is interesting - I guess the issue now will be to get the politicians to play ball. The problem as I see it is that the continued fascination with economic growth is going to make this sort of long term planning nigh on impossible.

To paraphrase Neil Young's song 'After the Goldrush' - "we've got Mother Nature on the run in the 21st century". When is Mother Nature going to bite back?

Ahem....Soylent Green?

If there won't be any more fish, maybe this traditional Scottish song will need to be amended......

Dance tae yer daddy,
Ma bonnie laddie,
Dance tae yer daddie, ma bonnie lamb!
An ye'll get a fishie
In a little dishie,
Ye'll get a fishie, whan the boat comes hame.

Can a chip shop keep in business on chip's, mushy pea's, bread cakes and mucky old pie's?

Ahem....Soylent Green?

Perhaps Sharks will have to eat more humans?

Oh well the goldfish have buggerd it then !!!!!!!!.

It's nothing to worry about (unless you're a fish), it's not like you need to eat them.

Hahaha, "wot will we eat next?" - not "oh no, we've knackered the eco-system beyond all repair and thus begins the downfall of man." Classic.
