The end is always near: now it is doomsday for the oceans

The EU financed Euronews is always happy to spread all kinds of global warming propaganda


Alan Caruba makes an interesting - and true - observation:

Please, someone, please tell me the last time an international group of scientists did not get together and then announce to the world that some horrid future awaited everyone?

Caruba is referring to the latest doomsday scaremongering by a group of  warmists, calling themselves International Programme on the State of the Ocean:

According to its website, the International Programme on the State of the Ocean (IPSO) gathered at the University of Oxford, for “A high-level international workshop”, described as “the first inter-disciplinary international meeting of marine scientists of its kind… designed to consider the cumulative impact of multiple stressors on the ocean, including warming, acidification, and over-fishing.”

“The 27 participants from 18 organizations in 6 countries produced a grave assessment of current threats – and a stark conclusion about future risks to marine and human life if the current trajectory of damage continues: that the world’s ocean is at high risk of entering a phase of extinction of marine species unprecedented in human history.”
Please, someone, please tell me the last time an international group of scientists did not get together and then announce to the world that some horrid future awaited everyone?
According to the IPSO geniuses, “We are looking at consequences for humankind that will impact in our lifetime, and worse, our children’s and generations beyond that.” The scientific panel concluded “that the degeneration in the oceans is happening much faster than has been predicted” and, therefore, all the coral reefs “could be gone by 2050.”
Why is it that every one of these apocalyptic groups always predict something “could be”, “might be”, “is expected to”, and a whole raft of wishy-washy terms that add up to “We don’t know, but we want to scare the crap out of you just the same”?

PS

Replace the word "ocean" with "population growth", "harvests", "food", "rainforests", "biodiversity", "glaciers", "polar bears", "arctic ice" et cetera, et cetera. Why should anybody believe that this new ocean scare is anything else than just an addition to the already long list of failed doomsday predictions ....
