That is worrying that it has come so far so soon. 

 

Twenty-odd years ago a friend, who was doing a PhD in Limpets, told me we were at the tail end of the fastest extinction known on record.

 

Maybe we've reached one of those tipping points already. Who knows? We're well into uncharted territory now, science will be forever playing catch-up from now on. I think there's only one thing that's certain, and that's that things will get worse before they get better. What do you reckon @Johnsond?

France finally agrees to intercept migrant boats at sea

WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK

---

A furious row erupted at the weekend after French authorities were accused of standing by as people smugglers acted like a ‘taxi’ service

 

From what I can see/read and understand the French could only stop the boats from leaving shore by giving them a good stabbing which makes me wonder how on Earth that is costing us half a billion squid. So, the smugglers just leave the boats running off shore and the immigrants just wade out to them while getting a wave and a thumbs up from the French police.
