I saw the original story here (£), from two weeks ago in the Sunday Times, and filed it in the back of my mind as another tale of greed and the over-exploitation of natural resources without, to be honest, thinking about it very much. Well - shrug - what can you do?
Now it turns out that it's complete bollocks - nicely taken apart by Hannah Barnes & Richard Knight here, and an interesting insight into how nonsense, especially when it's about ecological doom, can be up and running halfway round the track while the truth is still tying up its shoelaces. Or however that saying goes.
and how many 'bollocks' are there left?? we're talking 'complete' ones only of course, none of those partial bollocks will do!!

Hilarious to see the Daily Mail and Socialist Worker side by side in the flock of sheep stumbling along behind the Sunday Times. Or should that be shoal of cod?
