Lovely post FA, really.

It is always painful to see someone oversimplify the natural world in order to rationalize some reckless and selfish action that puts many many things at risk. What is the cost we would pay to clear the sky again if the rain was so bad it ate through clothing on contact? Is there any price we WOULDN'T pay? What is the fiscal investment to return the seas to their original state?  

Rehabilitating the oceans from their obscene overfished state would be a herculean task, maybe an impossible one, and those costs are not considered by someone who thinks the sea is infinite and endless; a handy assumption to make when hauling tons of fish at a time and claiming it 'your labors'. Those fish are the labor of eons of development, a global ecology, and a fragile lifecycle; more than any man on a boat with a net. Just because the ocean spirits don't send you an invoice for their removal doesn't mean there is no impact, and cherry picking studies of oceanic life to prove yourself devoid of responsibility doesn't mitigate it in any real way.

I'm not even an environmentalist.

edit: So If you have a car and want a fish, and I have a fish and want a car, and the marine ecology has started catastrophic collapse due to overfishing and the wellbeing of billions of humans is at risk; where is the wealth? Do we look upon the next generation and say, well... FY;GM I really liked that car and I didn't have anything to do with it anyway maybe you should try to find a new market somewhere. Space maybe, I dunno it isn't my problem.
