Advocates say removing metals and minerals from the ocean’s seabed is necessary to facilitate a global transition away from fossil fuels, adding that the practice is less environmentally damaging than land-based mining.
Critics say deep-sea mining is “extremely destructive,” while scientists warn the full environmental impacts are hard to predict.
Turns out conspiracies where more than just that huh. Maybe you should’ve kept busines out of your politics hmm.
And now that the symptons of their destructive exploitation are merely starting. You find them entrenched and infiltrated into the bodies supposed to regulate them.
And they push back with propaganda, hiding behind corrupt legislation and armies of lawyers. And even if the truth gets out.. they pay up and pay off, change name but not business.
Fuck this place.
So funny to see Norway ranked among the most sustainable countries in the world again and again all the while their oil and gas production goes up year after year. Shit makes me so angry. They’re getting super rich off of the climate crisis and then act like they’re so good for the planet cause they drive EVs.
If a democratic socialist country as wealthy as Norway can’t turn away from fossil fuels and extractive mining, what can we expect of countries that are dramatically less wealthy (on a per capita basis) such as India or Bangladesh?

Of course, because Norway doesn’t yet have enough wealth and resources. Its sovereign wealth fund (also known as the “oil fund”) holds a paltry $1.5T in assets: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_Pension_Fund_of_Norway.
