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

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.
