Wasn’t it 1993 that Ted Danson, that noted marine biologist, said the oceans would all be dead in 2003?
Here is a direct quote from Rush’s story on his site with “Algore’s Armageddon Domesday Clock” - a permanent countdown graphic”
“Now, the last time I heard some liberal talk about ‘ten years’ it was 1988, Ted Danson. We had ten years to save the oceans; we were all going to pay the consequences, which would result in our death. Now Al Gore says we’ve got ten years. Ten years left to save the planet from a scorching. Okay, we’re going to start counting. This is January 27th, 2006. We will begin the count, ladies and gentlemen. This is just... You have to love these people — from afar, and from a purely observational point of view.
Danson claimed the oceans dead thing in the late 80s. When asked about it a few years ago, he said that it was meant to be a means to an end, basically to get attention for the oceans.
It’s all bull shite.
