In the latest sign of trouble in the planet's chemistry, the number of oxygen-starved "dead zones" in coastal waters around the world has roughly doubled every decade since the 1960s, killing fish, crabs and massive amounts of marine life at the base of the food chain, according to a study released yesterday.
"These zones are popping up all over," said Robert Diaz, a professor at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science who led the study, published online by the journal Science.
Diaz and co-author Rutger Rosenberg of the University of Goteborg in Sweden counted more than 400 dead zones globally, which collectively covers about 95,000 square miles.
The study is the latest alarm sounded by scientists and environmentalists about deteriorating oceans and watersheds.
The study is also the latest alarm sounded by Christians about the world's need for repentance and salvation before it's too late.

I saw this a few days back... scary!!!!
But what amazes me more is that people just shrug when they hear stuff like this. No one seems to care about anything anymore.
Just yesterday I mentioned something about the Russian response to our missile shield in Poland, and this person said, "So? Who cares? Russia will get over it."
Hmmm....
