/>Tuna and mackerel populations suffer catastrophic 74% decline,
research shows [/center]
WWF says we risk losing species critical to human food security
unless action is taken to halt overfishing and other threats to
marine life.
Tuna and mackerel populations have suffered a “catastrophic”
decline of nearly three quarters in the last 40 years, according
to new research. [img width=30
height=30]
HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-300714025456.bmp[/img]<br
/>
WWF and the Zoological Society of London found that numbers of
the scombridae family of fish, which also includes bonito, fell
by 74% between 1970 and 2012, outstripping a decline of 49% for
1,234 ocean species over the same period. :emthdown: :(
The conservation charity warned that we face losing species
critical to human food security, unless drastic action is taken
to halt overfishing and other threats to marine life.
Louise Heaps, chief advisor on marine policy at WWF UK, said:
[quote]"This is catastrophic. We are destroying vital food
sources, and the ecology of our oceans.”
HTML http://www.desismileys.com/smileys/desismileys_1593.gif[/quote]
Attention in recent years has focused on species such as bluefin
tuna, now on the verge of extinction in the Pacific, but other
close relatives commonly found on restaurant menus or in tins,
such as yellowtail tuna and albacore, are now also becoming
increasingly scarce. Only skipjack, also often tinned, is
showing “a surprising degree of resilience”, according to Heaps,
one of the authors of the Living Blue Planet report, published
on Wednesday.

HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-310714182509.png[/img]
Other species suffering major declines include sea cucumbers, a
luxury food in Asia, which have fallen 98% in number in the
Galapagos and 94% in in the Egyptian Red Sea. Populations of
endangered leatherback turtles, which can be seen in UK waters,
have plummeted.
Overfishing is not the only culprit behind a halving of marine
species since 1970. Pollution, including plastic detritus which
can build up in the digestive systems of fish; the loss of key
habitats such as coastal mangrove swamps; and climate change are
also taking a heavy toll, with the oceans becoming more acidic
as a result of the carbon dioxide we are pouring into the
atmosphere.
[quote]“I am terrified about acidification,” Heaps told the
Guardian. “That situation is looking very bleak. We were taught
in the 1980s that the solution to pollution is dilution :P, but
that suggests the oceans have an infinite capacity to absorb our
pollution.

She predicts that all of the world’s coral reefs could be
effectively lost by 2050, if current trends are allowed to
continue unchecked, and said that evidence of the effects of
acidification – which damages tiny marine animals that rely on
calcium to make their shells and other organs - could be found
from the Antarctic to the US west coast. [img width=50

What do crickets taste like?
Many insects - including crickets - have the ability to take on
the flavor of the food that they eat. This means that crickets
will likely taste somewhat different from one farm to the next
depending on what kind of diet they're fed. Our crickets have a
diet that consists of a lot of different grains and corn and
fresh vegetables. Our crickets taste a little bit like sweet
corn with a slight nutty or sunflower seed flavor.

Perhaps we're fuc ked after all.
[quote]Containing radiation equivalent to 14,000 times the
amount released in the atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima 68 years
ago, more than 1,300 used fuel rod assemblies packed tightly
together need to be removed from a building that is vulnerable

The problem is if the spent fuel gets too close, they will
produce a fission reaction and explode with a force much larger
than any fission bomb given the total amount of fuel on the
site. All the fuel in all the reactors and all the storage pools
at this site (1760 tons of Uranium per slide #4) would be
consumed in such a mega-explosion.
In comparison, Fat Man and Little Boy weapons dropped on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki contained less than a hundred pounds each
of fissile material – See more at:

HTML http://www.dcbureau.org/20110314781/natural-resources-news-service/fission-criticality-in-cooling-ponds-threaten-explosion-at-fukushima.html
Once the fuel is uncovered, it could become hot enough to cause
the metal cladding encasing the uranium fuel to rupture and
catch fire, which in turn could further heat up the fuel until
it suffers damage. Such an event could release large amounts of
radioactive substances, such as cesium-137, into the
environment.
This would start in more recently discharged spent fuel, which
is hotter than fuel that has been in the pool for a longer time.
A typical spent fuel pool in the United States holds several
hundred tons of fuel, so if a fire were to propagate from the
hotter to the colder fuel a radioactive release could be very
large.

You may be right. RE will wait for the "fat lady" to sing. I
just keep adding and subtracting in the biosphere math equation.
The subtraction is rather consistent and the trajectory looks
suicidal.
Only Bagdad Bob could be optimistic about out trajectory as a
species. WHEN the last homo SAP buys the farm is not the issue.
Also, the "long enough time line" excuse that somehow ignores
all the crap and poisons and evil bastards adding more that we
have to deal with is like dancing on a plank you are walking. Of
course we are all alive until we die. Everybody has their own
timeline and some have a longer one than others.
But optimism has no place in the biosphere math we are
witnessing. We are walking a plank. The fact that it "ain't over
yet" isn't the issue. All of us will do what we can to extend
our stay in the valley of tears.
That's why I think comments that describe graphically how fu
cked we are have a proper place in this discussion. I think, if
we are to survive, a bare bones, no bull sh it, no happy talk,
no "we can do this" locker room coach optimism is what we need
to prevent our species from buying the farm. Things are not just
"iffy"; they are AWFUL, and getting WORSE!
Here's a fictional tale about our very possible future that you
might enjoy. Feel free to pass it on with, or without,
attribution.
[font=times new roman]
Star Date 344,757.093821 (late naked ape tool makers date 2066):
Gardener Commander Zarkploof Report 747: [/font]
The last of the naked ape tool makers ceased biochemical
activity in the most recent revolution of the blue planet around
it's sun. It fell in a nuclear waste pool while being chased at
night by a pack of large canines. The canines left at dawn. The
ape swam, then crawled, out but lapsed into unconsciousness from
treading water for so long. It was then bitten by several large
rodents and bled to death while trying to fend them off. The
rodents, the canines and a nearby ant colony disposed of the
remains. All of those creatures subsequently died of
radionuclide poisoning. The radionuclide pollution is extensive.
We have sent probes to aid existing species in maintaining some
vitality. We are doing this in order to provide the biochemical
substrate for reseeding efforts so we won't have to start from
microscopic autotrophs in rebuilding the biological energy
absorption pyramid.
It is estimated that 245,000 local years will be required for
the nuclear contaminants (Mostly the one the naked apes called
Plutonium but there are several others) to cease degrading the
biosphere with harmful mutations.
Our DNA bank has 157% of the species populating the planetary
biosphere prior to the naked ape polluting millennium that
destroyed the naked apes. NOTE: We will file a detailed report
on the extinct species such as the giant reptiles and mammals in
regard to the reseeding timeline.
For the next 100,000 years we will seed various fungi to absorb
radionuclides for the purpose of collecting them and depositing
them in the local sun. Perhaps, because of this activity, the
time for active reseeding can take place somewhat earlier than
245,000 years. But we must bear in mind what happened on the
Zeta 382, which required an increase in wait time, instead of a
decrease. As was the case at Zeta 382, there are chemicals the
naked killer apes produced in their ignorance that, though not
radioactive, are deleterious to life and even more difficult to
eliminate than the radioactive elements. The glyphosate poison
is one of many that are ubiquitous in this thoroughly degraded
biosphere. So caution is advised.
As to the naked killer ape tool makers, we recommend the DNA of
this species be modified to prevent self awareness. It seems
that self awareness, though it does help them develop primitive
cause and effect horizon logic, does not aid them in avoiding
the manufacture of tools to wantonly exploit the biosphere they
require for life. These beings always seem to fail through the
"fool with a tool" axiom of degenerate self aware species
development postulated by the philosopher Glado the Putzenko in
his "Beings that Don't Understand Being" treatise. They cannot
seem to grasp the idea that defecating where one obtains
nourishment is suicidal when the product of defecation is an
industrial pollutant.
This planet is a very depressing and sad place to visit at the
moment. Speaking for myself and all of the crew, I request home
leave equivalent to 20 local planet years on our home planets.
One of the factors creating stress in our crew is the fact that
the naked killer ape tool makers looked so much like us.
