Why Fish Might go Extinct by 2048 - The Concise Report

 


Horrors of the fishing industry

The Finishing industry is by far the epitome of everything wrong with the world. When it comes to contamination of the oceans more than 50% of the waste in the ocean is fishing nets other equipment. The worst of the worst comes to mind when we realize that the world as we know it is drastically changing. If industrial fishing does not stop today by the year 2048 all the fish in the oceans will be gone. Bycatch meaning that when industrial fishing vessels try to focus on one species. The methods they use end up catching a lot of other species as well. Which are then tossed back into the ocean as dead fish. Bycatch is the reason for many fish species becoming endangered and going extinct.

There are a few hot spots around the world that are still holding on for dear life. Industrial fishing is enclosing on these parts of the ocean as well. It's only a matter of time. People talk about the amazon rain forest and how it's so essential to the earth. More than 90% of the earth C02 in the ocean-dwelling fauna. The ocean is the worlds largest carbon basin.

Trawling: When a huge net with heavy weights attached to the bottom of it used to sweep the ocean floor for any and all fish. The size of these nets can be big enough to sweep in entire buildings. Even many jumbo jets all at the same time.

The money: Like everything in this world it all revolves around the money. The people who are responsible for safe to eat tags or ethically sourced tags. On any and all fisheries products are in the pockets of these industrial fishery firms. Even worse are the subsidiary company created by one of these firms to save face.

What is FAT and why do we HATE IT?! - The Concise Report

 Humanity and its long-lasting battle against fats have been one for the ages but there was a time wherein fats were cherished for everything they stood for, even labeled as the epitome of beauty and luxury of class and upstanding rather than today where it is frowned upon and fat people are considered to be the irrational part of society, the essence of the new world by no means is one that is lost but instead is one that throughout the ages has modified and turned into a new spectrum of acceptance, what once was by no means is the standards for the 21st century, we as a civilization are ever-evolving and if we don’t pertain to the medieval thought process some would argue that is a good thing leading to the new age and shift in the movement on humanity itself towards what is the inevitable future. But as much as aesthetic appeals matter does fat really cause us to harm in the long game, or is it like a lot of other things that get a bad name through the years and a tag that we all have learned to hate considering how much we adore our physical representation today, Fat & Why We Hate It! Since the conception of mankind, we have wanted to be rather fit initially for survival but as time progressed it became about the aesthetic value of things. fat is life, however - evolutionary biology clearly dictates back in the day it was dictated as the epicenter of beauty whereas today it is dictated as unappealing. mammals needed fat to survive in a way it is the epicenter of food storage, fat tissue - primary purpose adipocytes(fat cells) triglyceride a chemical substance is the reason we store fat - chemical terms fat. Glycerol three fatty acid chains and the burning of fat is the center for stored sources including heat and burning of fat is usually common, constant burning of fat is bad for your body but fat from mammals especially whales was used to light lamps back in the day.

Agriculture termed that more energy reserved could be persevered but the energy expended was limited, industrial revolution - mechanism of food made everything more accessible and work by machines means that the essence of energy expense was minimized, inactivity is the epicenter of diabetes. Insulin is blocked by obesity cause the blood sugar level will not be affected as much as insulin is being blocked, overflowing of fat makes it go and attach to various organs ectopic deposition is the reason for resistance to insulin.
