Reply to comment by bermudaliving in New UN brokered High Seas Treaty Places 30% of Ocean into protected areas by 2030 after decades of talks by AstroEngineer314

Yes biodiversity will decrease. But do you realistically think 7 years is far too late for the ocean to go EXTINCT? Most of the ocean isn't even mapped. You are being way to naive to think the whole world could get together in a matter of a couple of years and have great strides. Complaining about it online ain't doing shit, they already just said that getting this done took a lot of effort.

Yeah imagine being angry about progress that five years ago people thought was impossible. This person is probably out eating sushi right now too.

I was actually out fishing. Check out “doomsday clock” and what’s changed in the last 5 years. I’m pro protecting the ocean I’m just stating that it’s not going to put a dent into the shit storm we’re about to face. More so if we’re waiting until 2030 after several decades of “talking”.

But you do realize that the best way to actually fix our planets course is through legislation, which we currently lack by a mile. Corporation will continue to do horrible shit because they are greedy and targeting them individually or boycotting isn't gonna do shit. So yeah sure even if this isn't the cure all you were hoping for, it helps open the door just a bit more towards have a more environmentally conscious government that sets real restricting legislation.

I know what the doomsday clock is. It's a useless abstraction of doom that is not based on anything empirical. How do you know it's not going to put a dent? Perhaps you have created a doom filter bubble and the only news you see is bad news. Yes, things are bad. But also there's so many good things that are happening. You just don't hear about them in the headlines because it doesn't sell clicks.

The scientific community is that naive I guess because that’s they’re expectations not mine. I’m not scientist.
