I agree that humans are, in a sense, evolved to stress out, but this is a horrible example. Like so Michu astronomy, Flammarion's theory was merely conjecture with no experimental evidence. Further, many other scientists correctly contested his hypothesis at the time. Compare that with overfishing, where we have strong evidence that tuna populations have drastically declined in the past 50 years [1]. These declines are very likely due to overfishing, particularly of immature fish that have not had a chance to reproduce. Without a change of trajectory, many tuna species will almost certainly go extinct. Yes, we should be skeptical and not give into hysteria. But that doesn't instead mean we should just stick our heads in the sand. Don't you think oceans without fish are going to cause a lot of problems? 1. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3251139/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3251139/
