Hmmm. Fish stocks are being depleted, if not eliminated, by
overfishing.

In places.

Land, as well as sea, animals and plants are going extinct
due to habitat loss, pollution, and overhunting,

Just as they've been doing for millions of years,

and the very atmosphere
is changing due to pollution. CO2 is going up, O is going down.

Cite, please?

The
reduction in the ozone layer is increasing skin cancer rates,

"None are so blind as those who will not see."

Seeing something doesn't mean that (a) it's real, (b) it's caused by
what you think it's caused by, or (c) it's anything new or unique.
Correlation is not the same thing as causation. You've seen the
statistics regarding water drinking habits and mass murderers, haven't
you?
