Think back to 1988 ted danson “ we have 10 years to save the oceans or we were going to pay the consequences, which will result in our death”

Reinforcing these entrepreneurial dreams is the reality of a feedback loop already in motion. Compact sea ice, with its high albedo (whiteness), reflects 80 percent of the sun’s heat back into space, while seawater, with a low albedo, absorbs 80 percent. The reduction in the ratio of ice to water further increases the warming of the ocean, which rises from thermal expansion, creating an even greater surface area of water, which promotes further warming and further melting, nibbling away at even more sea ice. In other words, the melting will be difficult if not impossible to reverse anytime soon.
Countries denying the warming/melting loop also mapping and laying claim to the arctic land beneath the ice. This could've gone on the warmer than a hot tub thread, too.

Imagine the remote possibility that something was done in those ten years to extend life in the oceans a little further...
Imagine the possibility that Ted Danson knows more about playing a bartender on television than he does about oceanography.
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.

Imagine the possibility that the oceans --indeed, the entire Planet-- is not some limitless provider of resources, able to absorb all that we consume, excrete, etc., without end, and without consequence.
