Taikun,

Re: we have to be wary of the fearmongers who would like the earth's resources kept intact like something to look at instead of using them to improve humanity's quality of life.

I think we also must be very wary of fools who don't understand or care about depletion.

As you must know by now, 90% of the commercially harvestable biomass has been removed from the now dying oceans since 1970. Stated another way, the ocean only holds 10% of the tuna, salmon, swordfish, cod, herring, etc. that it held a mere 35 years ago.

To say that those who are alarmed about this "would like the earth's resources kept intact" would be a grotesque misrepresentation of the reality we face.

The Planet Earth is finite. Get used to it.
