That's the key phrase here. Obviously, if you dump it back into the ocean such that it actually does not impact local salinity levels, its fine. But that's also true for essentially anything dumped into the ocean - if you can manage the dumping of a toxic chemical such that it has no impact, wouldn't it also be fine?
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoNo. If I take saltwater from the ocean, and desalinate it, and put the salt back in the ocean, the salt was already there before I started. If I dump a toxic chemical in the ocean, the toxic chemical was not there before I started. Those are not equivalent.
