The fact that “mommy, what’s a <animal>?” future is becoming a reality should be a fucking emberassment for all of us. Yet no one will pause their fish consumption because “it’s tasty”. The earth is being killed for literal entertainment.

Well, the future sentient insects might also have some human and animal fossils to study.
But muh traditional cuisine.
People are too stupid to realize that what worked for us 50 years ago doesnt anymore because there is almost three times as many of us.
Still, every country out there is promoting breeding and having children. Everyone is trying to save our species from extinction as we’re surpassing 10 billion in numbers.
I thought this story was satire for a second. Now I’m sad 😢
I stopped eating fish many years ago and mention ecosystem collapse, overfishing a d bycatch to whomever asks me why (or when I feel like it).
The most I think I’ve done is gotten one friend to reduce their fish consumption.
Humans do not care.
100% accurate - I feel its an unfortunate future we will see during our generation itself
Polar bears have no future with an ice-free arctic.
"mommy, what’s a
<animal>?
I’m sorry, small friends. 😔 We have done you wrong.
TL;DR nobody knows. It has happened in smaller numbers but not like this. People think over fishing (but a similar event previously in Brazil with no known cause)
I’m waaaaay out of my waters here, but if I had to take a wild guess: over fishing, changing of chemistry of the oceans do to climate change and yeah rising of median temperature (as we can all feel) of the world … in summary: my guess is human activity.
Sounds like a good place to start looking for answers, at the very least.
I studied and lived with these species in Punta Tombo Argentina. Their food source is known to be moving further north. But we also saw these catastrophic events from time to time where the juvies had a super high mortality rate in their first year away
This is so so tragic. 😞
Ninety percent are young specimens that arrive without fat reserves and with empty stomachs," she said, and stressed that all samples taken have tested negative for avian influenza.
They fucking starved to death :'(
Damn, what did microsoft do this time?
I wonder when global governments wake up and realise they are sawing the branch they sit on, at this rate i shudder when i think of my kids and their future.
They already have noticed many decades ago It’s just that profit comes first since the people in charge won’t really feel the worst of the change while currently making bank from lobbying
People ordering seafood are in charge.
In this case I’d rather blame everyone else for their emissions as the complete disappearance of food sources is linked to climate-induced migration of species.
There is no global government. The world is highly fragmented. Most countries themselves are highly fragmented. Even some countries that would have you believe otherwise.
Also, we are too used to the concept of superpowers being countries. That’s no longer the case. While countries can still be superpowers, so can corporations. We already have corporations that could fund some of the world’s biggest armed forces, but so far they have had no reason to. This isn’t a new concept either, think back to the way the British Empire colonised/invaded India for example.
I agree, i guess i meant to say the governments of the world when i said that, but you articulated important points- corporations are really becoming bigger than governments and thats not good for the future
Great points. And similarly with the East India Company, those multinationals sit above states. This time it’s not just one—Britain (or the Netherlands, e.g. with the Dutch EIC)—it’s all of them. With BlackRock and Vanguard near the top. With maybe <20 exceptions.
Saying that, it suggests that if there is anything like a global government, it’s comprised of a handful of billionaires and their most loyal servants. If a state doesn’t do what they say, they’ll arrange for you to be sanctioned, bombed, couped, etc.

Indeed. Naomi Klein reports in This Changes Everything (IIRC) that the White House’s own scientific team warned it that climate catastrophe was in it’s way in the 1960s!
Go vegan. Just go vegan.
Glad to see the most annoying parts of reddit have made it to lemmy. Vegan circlejerks in every thread
I missed the part where this was a circlejerky comment but sure.
vegan btw
Bill Gates has struck back against linux.
Microsoft strikes again
