Just Have a Think - Humans reach a new low. Literally 09072023

Our modern way of life is largely dependent on land-based mining to extract minerals & other raw materials required for construction & for components in many technologies. Some suggest we may not have enough of these materials to see us through the transition away from fossil fuels & that we now need to go down to the deep ocean to extract even more. Others argue that as we have only discovered < 0.001% of the biodiversity at those depths, mining down there might not be such a smart idea
