    Or switch to a seafood-based diet, which has a much smaller CO2 footprint than land-based agriculture.

      “just eat seafood”. Brought to you by the comment thread on the article about the fact that the oceans are half way to literally fucking boiling.

      We already massively overfish, is that really your solution? It’ll mean more intense factory farming of seafood, creating huge amounts of water based pollution.

        Not all types of fish are overfished, some (like haddock) are sustainable. Just as some crops are farmed responsibly, and others (like California almonds) are not.

          I see you noticed that mackerel had it’s “sustainable” status removed. Sad times. ^^’

          I didn’t think Haddock had gotten back on the sustainable side either, most things can be done sustainably up to a certain volume. If the entire population turns it’s eye on it then demand far outstrips supply and goodbye sustainability.

              Ah, Americans are redefining words again.

              Normal English:

              animals from the sea that can be eaten, especially fish or sea creatures with shells

              US English:

              fish or shellfish eaten as food

              I’m gonna go with the definition that makes sense and say that no, we don’t have any local seafood, simply because we don’t have any sea.

                There are more native English speakers in my country than yours. So I’ll continue to use the definition that they understand, which is also the definition used by Encyclopedia Britannica.

                But if I ever visit your landlocked English-speaking country (assuming such a place exists), then I’ll try to keep in mind that local customs differ when eating at your restaurants.
