Agreed, I remember reading that fish would become virtually extinct in the next few decades due to the excessive fishing and overconsumption of seafood by humans. In turn, there would be a significant domino effect impacting other species, from the collapse of the available seafood supply. Most of the water in the world is heavily polluted and that will only get worse with increased worldwide manufacturing and population growth. The supply of fossil fuels like oil is expected to run out in about 30 years. Unless, there is a dramatic shift to renewable energy sources like solar and nuclear, future generations are going to be fucked.
