Every inch of sea level gives them more territory

So long and thanks for all the fish

So sad that it should come to this

We tried to warn you all but oh dear?

You may not share our intellect

Which might explain your disrespect

For all the natural wonders that

grow around you

So long, so long and thanks for all the fish

The world's about to be destroyed

There's no point getting all annoyed

Lie back and let the planet dissolve

Despite those nets of tuna fleets

We thought that most of you were sweet

Especially tiny tots and your

pregnant women

So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

So long, so long and thanks for all the fish

(yeah)

So long and thanks for all the fish

So sad that it should come to this

We tried to warn you all but oh dear?

(oh dear)

Despite those nets of tuna fleets

We thought that most of you were sweet

Especially tiny tots and your

pregnant women

So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

So long, so long and thanks for all the fish

On the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

Tbf climate change isn't so good for sea life either

The crow, octopus and elephants are much better candidates than the rapist dolphin.

after the humans have died

"So long, and thanks for all the fish!"

It's either Corvids or Mustelids next.

Dolphins have "issues" that would prevent them from progressing much further evolutionary speaking.

Obligatory

Oh Neptune

Good thing we're also filling the sea with plastic. Maybe by the time the polar ice caps are gone, we can replace coastal land with large plastic flotillas.

Let's be honest, if we are going down, we will take Earth with us 40K style

So long and thanks for all the fish. So sad it had to come to this...

Will someone give them DMT

Don’t think it is going to be an animal next if AI continues to grow at the pace it is. And that may not be a bad thing for life on the planet given our global impact track record.
