The oceans are being slaughtered ...

Carbon dioxide levels are now so high, it says, that ways of pulling the gas out of the atmosphere need to be researched urgently - but not using techniques, such as iron fertilisation, that lead to more CO2 entering the oceans.

"We have to bring down CO2 emissions to zero within about 20 years," Professor Hoegh-Guldberg told BBC News.

"If we don't do that, we're going to see steady acidification of the seas, heat events that are wiping out things like kelp forests and coral reefs, and we'll see a very different ocean."

And as this civilization destroys the oceans, it destroys itself, and our futures.

I see no way to stop this madness. Our society counsels us not to worry about what we can change, and not to worry about what we can't, but we damn well need to worry about what - given proper cooperation - we can and must change.

It's been going on all along, but it does seem to be getting worse again. Who knew Bush's third term would be as bad as his last two?
