How many tons of gasoline has this craft put into the see?
I suspect that the Trieste itself added little to the general mess.
In their minds, all human scientific progress should just stop dead if it makes a mess.
Did any of the activist bother to count?
No, seriously: What's the actual, measured impact on wildlife instead of "what if" scenarios cooked up by people who've never set foot in the area?
Did anyone compare the impact to hurricanes that regular hit that area?
The ecosystem there has had 200 million years, give or take, to adapt the seasonal storms. Hurricanes bring rain, which revitalizes wetlands and flushes out lagoons, removing waste and weeds. "Hurricane winds and waves move sediment from bays into marsh areas, revitalizing nutrient supplies. Fragile coral reefs can also receive benefit from hurricanes during the warm summer months, as the storms’ upwelling of cooler waters help to alleviate thermal stress. In addition, waves and tidal water movements scour some areas, removing macroalgae and exposing the solid limestone structure of the reef, which provides a firm foundation on which corals can settle and grow." <http://www.hurricanescience.org/society/impacts/environmenta...>
Everyone here is acting like they had set off a nuclear bomb, permanently rendering the area incompatible with biological life.
What I saw was some chunks of concrete — rocks basically — making a mess.
Your reactions and incredible -4 downvote does not in any way meet the reality of the situation on the ground.
What it does marry up with very neatly is unjustified, seething hatred for a certain singular person who can apparently do no good. All that he touches is nuclear wasteland and death, it seems.
Link one picture of one dead bird please.
Or were you the victim? A little birdie with broken wings who used to work at Twitter?
