I wasn't expecting to see so much approval of dolphin-safe fishing from the Sierra Club... Compare http://www.southernfriedscience.com/?p=6539 (a marine biology blog), which I'll quote from at length: > It can be difficult for people who have never seen it in action to appreciate the scale of modern commercial fisheries. Commercial fishermen aren’t out on the high seas with handheld rods and reels catching one fish at a time. The nets that tuna fishermen use, which are called purse seines, are miles long. With a net that size, it’s pretty much impossible to catch only tuna. Those nets also catch anything that happens to be swimming near the tuna. These unfortunate animals, killed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, are called bycatch. > There are three ways that tuna schools can be located. The first is to search for them directly using surface ships and small aircraft, which is inefficient, time-consuming, and not always effective (you can’t see tuna from the surface if they’re deep enough or if weather conditions aren’t ideal). The second is to attract tuna using floating objects, which we’ll discuss in more detail shortly. The third is to follow dolphins- for unknown reasons, dolphins in the Eastern Tropical Pacific are often found associated with schools of large tuna. > Because finding dolphin-associated schools of tuna was extremely easy (unlike tuna, dolphins have to return to the surface where they are easy to spot), it was the preferred method for…

I'm fairly certain you have far greater problems than hard butter. Like that veritable mountain of sulfur that you guys have no clue with what to do... https://www.southernfriedscience.com/alberta-canada-is-the-proud-owner…

Thousands out of more than 120 million container trips per year, and the loss of containers was primarily from two large accidents. http://www.southernfriedscience.com/?p=17474 Your container may be safer than your house, and the financial solutions is the same: insure it.

> eating meat as it is in the animal, Meat produced from american food animal lines is very fatty compared to what is in the wild. Turkeys for instance, can't really walk their breasts are so big, and cannot mate: http://www.southernfriedscience.com/?p=11929 "Fat as it's in the animal" is quite unnatural compared to wild animals, or even animals that can feed normally (aka, grass, as opposed to penned and force fed corn). Meat is a manufactured product here. Control your fat intake yourself as you would with any other manufactured product

The FAQ linked to from the verge is a much better source: http://www.southernfriedscience.com/your-car-has-just-been-crushed-by-…

From the linked FAQ: Do you think my insurance will cover me? This may technically count as an Act of Cod. So apparently not, but if your car is destroyed in a collision with a truck and then covered in slime, it may be possible to argue that it was a normal accident and the car was destroyed before the hagfish attacked. http://www.southernfriedscience.com/your-car-has-just-been-crushed-by-…
