In order to get the “green” agenda rocking and rolling, it is necessary to have vast amounts of metals and such to make solar panels and EVs (plus, it’s need for computer chips and so much more). The Warmists have freaked about nations and companies mining for the necessary materials on land, at least in 1st World nations. Not so much when using child labor in 3rd world nations. So, what about in the seas?
Deep Sea Mining Isn’t a Viable Climate Solution
On July 10, youth from around the world will gather at the International Seabed Authority meetings, as delegates cast a vote on environmental regulations that will either stop deep-sea mining in its tracks or allow it to move forward. Many ISA delegates are advocating for the mining regulations to be finalized so that mining can start immediately.
Deep-sea mining projects could be given the green flag to source minerals needed to support green technological innovation—at the cost of damaging portions of our ocean floor in ways that could kill marine life and negatively impact people who depend on the ocean for sustenance and economic prosperity.
The citizens of Palau and Sustainable Ocean Alliance continue to call for a moratorium on deep-sea mining and are grateful that many others around the world share our views. Among them, importantly, are our youth. The next generation, who will inherit this world and its problems, are the future scientists, entrepreneurs, and engineers who will discover new solutions, as well. But we have the unique opportunity to prevent a problem before it begins by halting deep-seabed mining practices until we can better understand the risks.
So, what do we do for those minerals and such? The climate cultists really aren’t offering any solutions other than “don’t mine.”
We encourage all leaders, and in particular the remaining political leaders who have yet to announce a position on deep-seabed mining to listen to their young constituents, including those at Sustainable Ocean Alliance (SOA) that led the handover of a global petition signed by more than 250,000 people across the globe calling for a moratorium. SOA’s network of youth leaders and regional representatives from the Caribbean, Latin America, and France continue to advocate for the prevention of opening international waters to this destructive mining practice and using youth voices to call for corporations to do the same.
Well, if they do not like this, then, let’s restrict the youths from using any of the products from the mining for minerals and such. No EVs, no power from solar panels, no tech that uses it. It has to come from somewhere.
Mr Teach (and not the first time): let’s restrict the youths from using any of the products from the mining for minerals and such
Let’s restrict the red states from using gov’t resources their Sen and Reps vote against! (e.g., infrastructure bills).
Let’s restrict the conservatives from using any of the gov’t resources that Republicans oppose! (e.g., SS, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP)
Let’s restrict the access to the Cove
for the Asshole from Affton since all he does is disagree with others, call them names and adds nothing of relevance to the comments.
It’s Mr Teach’s prerogative to block any commenter the Misanthrope from Mississippi hates. You need to lobby harder or seek blocking privileges.
So you object to name-calling? Interesting.
I’m going to suggest that Mr Teach make you a co-contributor to the site since you add so much unique content via comments. It’s as much your blog as Mr Teach’s.
Pups,
Got my vote. I think the guy is crazy. I can not think of a single time he provided relevant information and mostly makes things up and calls everyone names. I could relate some other things that are illegal.
david,
You accused me of trying to access your name in a federal database of physicians that records their malpractice events. I didn’t you nasty old liar. But it sounds as if you’ve admitted you have plenty to hide.
Please relate some other things that are illegal you pathetic old liar.
