    Try the fish....

    Not too long ago, the US DoD finally admitted to disposing of tons of chemical warfare agents in the sea, and now the mafia has been implicated in intentionally sinking ships carrying hazardous waste so that corporations can avoid costly environmental regulations.

    But hey, it's not all the fault of mischevious corporations and governments, people are poisoning themselves just as efficiently.

    The article is longer and a good read. Links with more info are just a google away.

    Humanity, in it's quest to "conquer" nature - is going to destroy it. And itself.

    Sometimes I wonder... did cancer exist before the human-induced chemical pollutants did?

    It seems silly to wonder...

    Signs...

    Ocean acidification from CO2 - National Geographic

    Much more at the link. The "before and after" shots at the photo link (shots 2 and 3) are perturbing.
