He’s the second elon musk some say. Let’s take care of this one before he manages to fuck us all over.
Who is this? Link not available
Gerard Barron
CEO & Chairman, The Metals Company
(From the video, I could see it where I am.)
Like that will stop people from doing it
This is a Canadian mining company that discovered it by partially finding a researcher to investigate. After about 8 years, their researchers literally said "we're forced to conclude that this was caused by the above."
The mining company was not happy, the CAD government put a moratorium on mining for further research, and now the company is paying to have other research completed cuz they "dispute his findings" 😂 I'll see if I can find the article
Edit: the article. https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/oxygen-ocean-study-conflict-1.7273929
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.
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.
Why? We own planet Earth? You don't speak for the trees.
But they do for the potatoes
Good thing we're really down there for that Chinese nuclear sub. Sorry, my NCD is slipping.
Well, maybe we can’t afford fish
