The die off is attributed to a mysterious disease affecting sea stars, and a couple years of warm marine weather. It's wholly possible this has nothing to do with humans at all, and is a natural event.

Yes, the disease may have been caused or spread by human activity, and yes, the warm marine weather may have been caused by human-created global warming, but you're jumping the gun to say that this is because we have 8 billion people who want a certain standard of living.

It is, and we keep hearing this argument for situations across the entire plant. There is a clear trend.
