You forgot government intervention :

Science: eating fatty food is bad for you Government: we outlaw them all

Science: oh, some fatty foods are good Government: we outlaw all other food !

Science: oh, some fatty foods are bad, some are good, depending on you Government: okay, seriously ... everybody alive is breaking the law. How could this possibly happen ? People simply have no respect for the laws anymore.

Science: ... Government: obviously the solution is more laws !

Hire the pirate "companies" to escort ships through the area.

Pretty soon they will just call them the Somali navy or coast guard (a.k.a. pirates with a budgets, pension, and dental).

The mountains of research done on this is pretty clear about why it's happening. But I don't expect facts to get in the way of beliefs anytime soon. Be that as it may, why is not the important.

I agree with you about the previous administration, but the current one is clueless. They don't even try to deny their lies.
