these is why orcas taking revenge on humans
Fascinating interviews about deep-sea mining. Mr Baron thinks it is just picking up a rock, Greenpeace think it is dangerous to animals. Is this the reason not to interview deep sea scientists? Because deep sea is a major component of the huge machine that controls nutrient and chemical cycling on earth. It means what is at stake is fisheries and biogeochemical cycling. In human words — the fish that we eat and the air that we breathe are at stake.
This reminds me of the early climate debates, where the warnings about the negative impact on nature somehow failed for a while to take into account that humans live in nature and not on the moon. What we have today, as a result, is floods like in Germany, where taxpayers die or pay for the damage — one of the two options in climate change reality. Exactly the same is the option with deep-sea mining and it will not be Mr Baron paying for the damage. He knows it, it is obvious.
If a way of just carefully picking up and collecting these nodules, that doesn't disturb the sea-bed sediment at all, can be developed… Sure, if proven to work…
If not… Probably not, they'd just end up killing everything that lives down there.
Why on earth is the climate show being so unclear about this. NO WE HOULD NOT, OBVIOUSLY. ITS SO OBVIOUS. why seed any sort of doubt
If the powers that be decided there is something down there that they want nothing on this earth will stop them
The ocean was 100F in FL this week. Will this break something that's already broken? Doubtful.

Yall gonna wake up Godzilla. Stop messing around
And what about the ecological damage that this will cause? Of course that doesn't matter does it.
It is not just Manchester. All police forces in UK need investigating, and brought to justice for their Sexualcrimes
No….why cant we leave things alone..!! Some folk are just not happy unless they are disturbing things causing chaos…. Disaster waiting to happen….!! Pil-locks comes to mind
Far better to blow it up. Oceans cause rock depression and island anxiety. Plus they are bad for Texas sized patches of plastic.
Once we finish ripping Africa up for cobalt and lithium, we must rip up the sea bed, profits for electric vehicles trump the environment.
Makes no difference. I , personally promise not to mine the sea but it doesn't matter what I think or do! Pointless question, my opinion matters not a jot.
I'm not one for caring about climate crap or eco bs, yet even i think leave the sea alone. We ruined it enough.
Yep.
Next?
Destroying something while trying to fix something else .That’s not a very good idea ,but we are humans we will kill everything and everyone if it means we continue to live like kings.
Get drilling.
Then when we have raped the ocean, what next?
ffs we should be living in huts off the land as i type on my samsung.
Keep on mining 😎
Of course we shouldn't – but we will!
People have a problem with the UK trying to be self sufficient but what’s the alternative, order more from the east?

Definitely not. Swarm of greedy locusts destroying everything . Humans are one of the most unremarkable animals on this planet , yet humans cannot help thinking they are special
Shall we stop mining all together? Sounds more sensible
Oh that type of mining… More nonsense from Sky
I simply cannot trust big corps
Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen
Es ruft eine Menge Bewunderung hervor!👅
