real stupid issues
Scientists blame the audience for being too stupid, shallow, or lazy to understand. There has been a fascinating debate in the blogosphere lately about communicating science to the public, and it's clear that most scientists just don't get it. They can't be bothered to talk to real people. Nobody will care about your issues if the price they have to pay is listening to a long lecture from Morton the science bug.
real ocean ice-cream
We scientists can argue forever about important topics like slightly different flavors of vanilla ice cream. Consider the silliness of this debate: one group of scientists found a 90% decline of big fish and criticized fishery management. Some other scientists found an 80% decline and started a big argument with the 90% people. Who cares if it's 80% or 90%? The real question is whether it's OK to let fishermen take most of the big fish out of our oceans.

allowed based ending enforce exceed fishing future limits managers prevent progress putting rebuilding scientific shows
Our Overfishing Scorecard shows that when managers prevent overcapitalization of fishing fleets and set and enforce responsible limits based on science, they can make progress in ending overfishing and rebuilding stocks. However, when fishing is allowed to exceed scientific recommendations, fisheries managers are putting our future at risk.

dark blood sides
My constant fear as a writer as that I will fail to convey the gravity of living. I know that to some degree that sets me up as boorish, but I'll have to live with that, and, honestly, I'd rather err on the side of being "unredeemingly dark," as one reviewer said about blood kin, than on keeping to the sunny side.
