My Way News - Ocean dead zones become a worldwide problem
AP reports: "Like a chronic disease spreading through the body, 'dead zones' with too little oxygen for life are expanding in the world's oceans. [...] The newest dead areas are being found in the Southern Hemisphere - South America, Africa, parts of Asia - Diaz said. Some of the increase is due to the discovery of low-oxygen areas that may have existed for years and are just being found, he said, but others are actually newly developed."

Comment: This is very serious because we can assume that fertilizer and other forms of industrial runoff are not going to decrease, especially in the developing world. Since this has never happened before, we don't know what the tipping point is, the point at which large areas of the oceans can't support life and the food chain collapses. It could be in 200 years, it could be in 100 years, or even 25 years, we just don't know.
