The Pacific Ocean is being trashed....

We have a saying on my home planet...."bite me".

Maybe you should focus on your own planet for a while.

any time the "proof" is people who would only speak anonymously. i stop listening. Any real scientist would be applauded for releasing results either good or bad.

“There is no direct route to get from Providence to Seattle,” Gary Wessel, a molecular biologist at Brown University. However, when one considers the evaporation of radiation-contaminated water from the Pacific, being carried inland by weather systems, and the jet stream then carrying those weather systems to the east coast, the explanation becomes obvious.

no direct method, like riding in the bilge of a ship that crosses the Panama canal?

Marine researchers PUBLICLY say they are baffled about the reason for the anchovy explosion. PRIVATELY, they tell the Turner Radio Network the cause is Fukushima radiation but they've been told to keep quiet to avoid causing a public panic.

again, proof is anonymous. /shakes head

INLAND WILDLIFE BADLY AFFECTED

... skin lesions were recently observed in polar bears off the northern coast of Alaska...

.....Biologists in Alaska have observed a high rate of non-viable eggs in nests of greater white-fronted geese. Northern fur seals and soil samples in Alaska are also showing unusual signs. In another study, the Alaska Science Center has documented surprisingly high mortality (20–30 percent) of adult female musk ox during mid- to late summer in northwestern Alaska....

unusual signs, does not prove anything. speculation is the worst.

i remember there was some fish that were bleeding out their gills, blamed on the radiation, until it was learned it was a simple virus.
So, I predict that all of these issues have logical, scientificly proven causes.
.....

I now take an iodine supplement. Will be eating no tuna and reduced salmon out of the NE Pacific.

good, more fish for me. i also hope people leave the coast. more room for me. maybe it will drive down Vancouver housing prices, so I can actually afford something bigger.

Canada's former Defense Minister goes public with shocking claim: 'Aliens are real and walk among us'

"We spend too much time fighting each other, we spend too much money on military expenditures, and not enough on feeding the poor and looking after the homeless and the sick, and that we are polluting our waters and our air and that we're playing around with these exotic weapons, thermonuclear weapons and atomic weapons, which have such devastating effects both on Earth and other areas in the Cosmos."

The Cosmos, by the way, is interconnected, Hellyer charged; the four species of extraterrestrials that have been visiting Earth for thousands of years - and the others that exist within the Cosmos - are interconnected with humans. If we harm ourselves or destroy the planet, he maintains, we will upset some sort of galactic ecosystem.

.....

Basically...we want your planet...and your women.

Except...you are trashing your planet...and your women are way too fat. You humans need to shape up...so to speak...and soon.

Cause...what would you do if we aliens weren't keeping you in line? I think we all know that downhill path.

The Inter Galactic Council knows...the NSA et al are cub scouts compared to us.

Mankind acts like tenants, not owners. As a former landlord, I can tell you that renters who have some pride and respect for their surroundings are the exception, not the rule. The rule is to take take take, destroy, abuse, and exploit as much as possible. Yep. Tenants.

Earth is becoming more overpopulated every year but we humans seem to be limiting the amount of available sea life that could sustain human existence.
Global corporations are soulless and do not care about preserving the ecology of earth.

[Frank Lee]

Corporations are people!

[Giovanni LiCalsi]

Thanks to supreme court justice Scalia!

In the end, that's what they really are. The collective greed, hopes and ambition of tens or hundreds or thousands of investors, stockholders and owners who care *mostly* about the bottom line.

Getting those investors to accept lower returns or marginal returns from more eco-friendly investments in exchange for securing the future of the great-grandchildren they refuse to have? Good luck.

No, that is only part of the "problem". People are greedy about reproduction, hence the population problem. Great, you had kids, why is that anyone elses problem, oh yah, cuz there are limited resources.
