Poor choice of words. Any prediction does make some assumptions. As listed in the article I have read, this outlook predicts that the current trends of pollution and overfishing continues. However the forcast makes no claims about the possibility of change.
Of course if there is a change in the trends there will be a change in the outcome.
However, just judging from your first statement, I doubt that change will happen if people that can make those changes feel as you do.
