Thank you for posting this. I have to admit dw’s approach disapointed me, but it was a great opportunity to get a glipse at where they are heading with this topic.
In this video DW tries to present itself as they neutrally display facts but imo they are not. They present a story that is in favor of the deep sea mining industry. They have the advocates of the industry saying their profit-based arguments, but they go unchalenged, and in the same time don’t provide the full picture.
They are talking about the green energy “transition”, even tho the actuall problem is that we are going through a tripple plannetary crisis. Currently we need to learn more about the ocean in order to conserve it. Since only 0.001% of deep seafloor has been visually observed, it would literaly be impossible to do deep sea mining and protect the ocean in the same time, just because we don’t know enough about it. So the argument used by industrialists, that it is cleaner than land-mining is simply based on nothing.
Not only that, they never even mentioned that these nodules produce oxygen without photosynthesis [wiki, paper]. And of course this oxygen is extremly important for the ocean ecosystem as a whole.
