The Fact That We're Catching More Fish

I'm An Old Member Of Greenpeace. I Worried Intensely, As I Think Most Of My Friends Did, That The World Was Coming Apart.

When Thinking About The Future, It Is Fashionable To Be Pessimistic. Yet The Evidence Unequivocally Belies Such Pessimism. Over The Past Centuries, Humanity's Lot Has Improved Dramatically - In The Developed World, Where It Is Rather Obvious, But Also In The Developing World, Where Life Expectancy Has More Than Doubled In The Past 100 Years.

Obviously Any Group That Has To Have Funding Also Needs To Get Attention To Their Issues.

Listen, Global Warming Is A Real Problem, But It's Not The End Of The World. A 30-centimetre Sea Level Rise Is Just Not Going To Bring The World To A Standstill, Just Like It Didn't Over The Last 150 Years.

The Fact That We're Catching More Fish Per Person Than We've Ever Done Before Doesn't Mean That There Are Not Particular Places Where We've Managed Fisheries Badly.
