World faces ‘ocean emergency’, UN warns, as activists urge action
The five-day United Nations Ocean Conference in Lisbon, Portugal is focused on restoring the health of the oceans.
The world is facing an “ocean emergency”, United Nations chief Antonio Guterres has warned, as thousands of activists, scientists and leaders gathered at the UN Oceans Conference in Portugal’s capital to call for strengthening sea-protection measures.
“We have taken the ocean for granted,” Guterres told policymakers, experts and advocates at Monday’s opening plenary in Lisbon, describing how seas have been hammered by climate change and pollution.
“I am urging all participants at the UN Ocean Conference to right these wrongs and do our part for the ocean. We must take action and turn the tide,” he said.

The sun is eventually going to cool off before burning out altogether, and as we freeze to death, we may recall the global warming days with fondness. Who knows?
If we wanted to stretch things out a little bit, we should have thought about it generations ago, not now when it's probably too late.
It is yet another addition to The List.
