    Those black pebbles 5:05 are the life essentials for the local ecosystem. They react with the ocean water to produce oxygen.
    The mining companies are going to simply vacuum the ocean floor clean of this rocks to make EVs!
    This is like a massive deforestation underwater. Human have already exploit/used about half of earth land surface that can be cultivated for food. Natural forest and wild habitat land are disappearing because we are using those land to grow food.
    We have the engineering might to just wipe every other living things on earth quite rapidly. Leaders need to have the wisdom to stop this madness before it is too late.

    Norwegian here, from Bergen, as shown in the video. We've been lucky with resources, but there's little public discussion of the environmental downsides here. I don't quite understand that because it is *obvious* that mining would destroy these ecosystems. The permits mentioned by the state secretary are also for research *and exploration* - so this is a dangerous game they're playing.
    Apart from that, manganese crust and nodules have been the next big thing in resources for over five decades. It's like fusion energy - hugely promising, hugely difficult to do, with a potentially life destroying downside on the other end.

    As in the comments here, I agree that nothing should be mined there. Countries with poor people should do that. We in the West should pay more attention to our environment. China and other countries can pollute the environment and we can simply buy from them to power our smartphones, solar panels and energy storage systems. They have then ruined their environment forever 100 times worse, because they don't do it as properly with mining as developed countries (which have more regulations and experience and can afford it) can. In exchange, we can send them 10 euros per person every month so that we feel good about it. Mining has to be done by poor countries and people so that our own environment looks 100% beautiful.
    Or we all do without technology, I always wanted to live in the stone age, they certainly didn't have depression.

    What worries me, is that the conditions in the planet are becoming more and more adverse, not only for other species, but also for us.
    Some, few may see a big business and maybe consider the care for the ecosystem irrelevant. But, what if the mining introduces heavy metals in the food chain, and people gets poisoned. Or if the impact by any meaning affects the food availability, the deposition of CO2 , or whatever...
    These doesn't make sense to me.

      i think there is too much socialism. for a 10 million population of white people, it works. but in the US with violent black criminals and illegal aliens combined with jihadists - that model would fail immediately.
      US is a capitalist country. you work hard and build things. that is how your quality of life improves. your social safety net is your FAMILY.

    The United Nations does not decide if you can mine minerals on the bottom of the ocean. You would have to ask the owner of that ocean. What the reporters on the wsj channel said was wrong. It should not be encouraging commercial investment in private property.
