GP is a straw man only in the part where it quotes David Attenborough because the quoted concerns weren't related to this accident. The rest of their argument is valid as far as I can tell - please correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, David Attenborough saying seabed mining is untested and has a largely unknown environmental impact is not a great argument either as it stands in the article. It would be helpful if Reuters provided more context or a direct quote.
- hluska 5y agoThis study made the rounds in 2020 - Attenborough wrote a forward and was heavily involved in the press: https://cms.fauna-flora.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/FFI_2020_The-risks-impacts-deep-seabed-mining_Report.pdf https://cms.fauna-flora.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/FFI_2...
- baryphonic 5y agoI was quoting from the article. I didn't realize the quote was out of context w/r/t this project. My apologies for perpetuating it.
