“The Florida Keys, third longest barrier reef in the world, is a dead zone. Ninety percent of the big fish, the tuna, the sharks, and other things, are already gone in the oceans. There’s a dead zone in the Gulf Of Mexico every summer the size of New Jersey, where there’s not enough oxygen for things to live. So it’s not a question of ‘Can the oceans take any more?’ The oceans can’t take any more. They couldn’t take any more fifty years ago. The question is, when are we going to stop?”

Phillippe Cousteau (via unburyingthelead)

This was from last night’s Real Time with Bill Maher, on which he also said, of conservatives’ claims that the ocean “would repair itself” and other nonsense, “It’s bullshit.”

Yep.
