The decline in oceanic phytoplankton was brought up but she said it was not a big problem. The phytoplankton population varies around the world and goes through cycles that they still do not fully understand.

So phytoplankton populations can be reduced by 40%, resulting in 40% loss of food for the marine food chain.. and people say "not a big problem"..

And it goes through cycles.. "they still do not fully understand"..

Yet, when the climate starts to warm over the course of 150 years (since the last micro-ice age ended) and it's catastrophic..

Global temperatures in a pause (or to satisfy WR, still barely trending upward) over the past 17 years..

But 40% of the food for Marine life has disappeared in 64 years and no one thinks its a "big problem"..

Make people in Africa live on 40% less food and see what happens..

Are you really going to buy into that Eric? Does it sound like 40% less food for our fisheries isn't a "big problem"..

And isn't it POSSIBLY more than a coincidence that at the same phytoplankton populations went down by 40%, atmospheric CO2 levels went up 50%?
