“The sea floors under Arctic waters are surreal, haunting — and increasingly dangerous. Bordering Russia, Norway, Finland, and Sweden, these northernmost seas are home to underwater kelp forests and coral reefs now littered with over 17,000 pieces of rusting radioactive debris. From spent fuel rods to old submarines laden with nuclear torpedoes, they’re corroding mementos of the Soviet Union, which used the Kara and Barents Seas as dumping grounds for thirty years.”

Thousands of radioactive objects — including spent fuel and corroding nuclear reactors — lie at the bottom of several Arctic seas”

Biden’s “Climate Power” facebook page is regurgitating conservative spin that will prove deadly to the nnorich:
Climate Power: “Because of the tax credits included in the Inflation Reduction Act, a new $150 million dollar battery factory was just announced in Arizona.”
Response: Tax credits don’t create demand for batteries. They only make it more profitable for the for profit entity involved. (who are these climate power Biden flunkies anyway?!) oh look it’s in Arizona hmmm the political benefits are boundless!!

“At the bottom of the Pacific ocean, there was once an ecosystem full of life. Then, in 1989, scientists tested a deep-sea mining simulation, and it wrecked the surrounding ecosystems beyond repair. The area remains lifeless more than 20 years later.
If we do not take action, deep-sea mining will move beyond testing in 2023 and cause irreversible destruction at a massive scale to untouched ecosystems.

“URGENT: What’s been disclosed so far about how the deep-sea mining process works is chilling.
Miners plan to use massive, robotic machines that operate like super-charged vacuum cleaners. Once lowered thousands of feet to the ocean floor, they begin sucking up precious minerals, as well as the top 5-30 centimeters of the seafloor and any marine life that gets in the way. The process has been likened to clearcutting a forest and then siphoning off all the nutrient-rich soil. Even worse, the thick layer of ocean floor that the mining machines would suck up and pump out would create a massive plume of debris, similar to an underwater sandstorm, that could harm life for hundreds of miles in every direction.

“Fresh in from Zack Labe (12/1/22), we are now at 1.7C over land. This means in most of the Northern Hemisphere the average is already above 2C. According to the ultra-conservative UN IPCC 2019 report, global wheat and corn yields will continue to fall rapidly. -
