An interesting note on that point, the 'empty oceans by 2048'- It was a theory put out in 2006 (I think), but was roundly rebuked two years later... But people still cite it as fact. I just read an interesting article on just that, I'll try & remember to post it on Monday.

End of the Line is a good movie though- not wholly accurate, but still good. Like anything, it's best to get your information from both sides and decide what you believe from there, rather than just one source.
