Sounds negligible to me, but I'm not a marine biologist. Would be interested to hear a specialist weigh in.
- xg15 10y agoI'm not an expert either, but one should keep in mind that this was an experiment with a single vessel. Even the shiny PR images in the articles show clusters of hundreds of vessels for actual operation. So it's more "few thousandths of a degree times X" and that seems less harmless to me. A single coal power plant is negligible to the environment too. Half the world powered by coal isn't.
