No, I was simply assuming you meant the normal meaning of the term “war” in your previous post. I believe the ongoing Anthro-Piscine Conflict doesn’t normally qualify.
In terms of the collapse of fisheries, this is a huge problem and one most countries’ governments are aware of. A lot is being done but I think most will agree not enough.
It’s unlikely to cause actual starvation to many humans though; most humans subsist on crops and farmed livestock, neither of which is showing evidence of collapse, indeed yields increase year on year.
Even if everything that you’ve said were true it would still be an improvement, as in the past we didn’t care about anyone or anything outside our tribe.
But of course it isn’t true. Even if it were the case that environmental issues trump everything else so we can meaningfully talk about being “at war” with future humans, environmental issues are not so black and white either.
When I was a child, gasoline contained lead, CFCs were widely used, there was no agreement or even really awareness of global warming, and renewable energy was basically not a thing in the developed world.
“Environmental issues”* do *trump everything else. Because those are issues of the physical biosphere. We are physical and holozoic beings in a finite physical world.
What the overall tone of the “future histories” you see tell you, has nothing to do with the actual future, and has everything to do with the CURRENT DAY attitudes about CURRENT DAY leaders and experiences.
You can see it in the plot details of Monster Movies. During the times when the writers and viewers were facing very hard times, that were thought to be the result of bad leadership, the monster threat was often shown to be the result of ignorance and pig-headedness at the top. But during the times of relative hope, and times when leaders were still thought of as “good,” (such as just after World War Two), the plots would more often show the thoughtfulness and steely determination of the leaders, being what led to the defeat of the monster.
The thought just occured me that then many science fiction writers that came close to predicting the future in reality are failures.
Because then the ones that failed to predict the future were the ones that can say that they succeded in making many humans change their ways. That is; that the humans, thanks to the SF novels, made an effort to make the distopias that the writers had pondered about from becoming reality.
