Why Is Greenpeace Caught in a Row Over Deep-Sea Mining?
18th March 2024
Because they’re arrogant entitled assholes?
Greenpeace could be thrown out of the UN body overseeing controversial plans to begin deep-sea mining.
One mining company claims the campaign group disrupted a research expedition in the remote Pacific.
Member states of the UN’s International Seabed Association could choose to strip Greenpeace of its observer status within the group.
Greenpeace says the incident in question was a peaceful protest aimed at protecting a pristine ecosystem.
