Based on the comments in this thread, I bet most in this forum also believe the
recent estimate that 40% of our oceans need to be protected to replenish fish stocks is also way too extreme. I think there are very few here that actually realize how extreme of an impact we have on the environment, and that massive measures need to be taken before there is nothing left.
Who cares that fish stocks are at roughly 1-5% of what they were 200 years ago anyway? Or that sea otters used to call the coast of BC home? 25 more years of hunting seals at the current intensity and there won't be many left.
Congrats though, it takes an impressive level of stubbornness to say all of Europe is being stupid. It must be hard to ignore all the researchers that keep telling everyone that what we are doing is not sustainable.
