I’m beginning to think she just doesn’t really like us very much
Cunts like
would kill everything in the ocean to make a dollarLast week tonight did a great exposé on him: https://youtu.be/qW7CGTK-1vA?si=xwxi2Ixlnl9QRToS
Even without that did you see how he plans to mine them? They’re going to drag the seafloor. Which will completely destroy any ecosystem down there. And unlike a strip mine that stays in one location for decades, this is one and done. One day to destroy an area and move on.
Not saying we should mine this but definitely not a critical source of oxygen for humans. Most oxygen is created through photosynthesis.
Yea but its likely critical for the local fish and such
Yeah I recall hearing about this and it’s a horrible idea to mine these
Definitely! Peak and Plunge podcast did a really good episode on deep sea mining. Last week tonight also did a great EP on deep sea mining.
Long story short - it will decimate all sea floor life, and is likely to eradicate many currently unknown species.
To be clear, the oxygen source they found is tiny relatively speaking it’s just a surprise it’s there at all (and even then the measured oxygen level levelled out after 48hrs so it may not even be a continuous source of oxygen under normal circumstances, they theorised that it may have been caused by them stiring up the seabed when they dropped the chambers down)
Iirc it did turn out that certain life was found in far greater abundance in areas with that oxygen source though, its tiny overall but huge for the local environment.
