| 15 February 2012 | NoeleneN | As long as we continue to treat the planet as though it were a supermarket that is open-all-hours for our needs and wants, we will have climate-related disasters, global warming, food insecurity, drought and more.
We are only mining the Pacific ocean now because we have already brought ourselves to the brink of ecological collapse by over-exploiting every other part of our planet. Its seriously time to stop. So for us it must not be a negotiation about 'how to do seabed mining safely' -WE'RE HERE TO STOP IT. | |
| 15 February 2012 | Elsa | As if they didn't have it bad enough... | |
| 15 February 2012 | Sarah Schmidt | For Pete's sake, haven't mining companies done enough damage on land - now you have to devastate the ocean bottom as well? | |
| 15 February 2012 | Kaius Mai | Have not seen any tangible benefits from decades of mining on land and our people have suffered a number of environmental disasters so what more can PNG rip from seabed mining, nothing but disiaster. Why experiment on small island nations. Have they not seen the effects of climate change affecting us? | |
| 15 February 2012 | Bret Leversha | You are destroying the environment for the sake a a few dollars. You people are a disgrace to humanity. Leave the area and go on a permanent holiday. | |
| 15 February 2012 | Jan Mitchell | If you soil your bed, you have no where to lie down. Our planet has been despoiled enough. It is time to stop the rape. | |
| 15 February 2012 | brian baillie | I am alarmed that sea-bed mining in the Pacific ( or anywhere) is under consideration. How much of our environment must be destroyed before authorities refuse rapacious expoitation corporations' demands for yet more of the world's environment??
To even contemplate experimental sea-bed mining would be madness, and a total abbrogation of the duty to conserve our marine ecosytems --or those that are left! | |
| 15 February 2012 | Lesley Branks | Please do not mine in the Pacific Ocean it would be catastrophic Mother Earth is slowly been destroyed she has put up with so much now to do mining will be the end of her.
If you have any compassion or heart you will put a stop to this at once. | |
| 15 February 2012 | Alumita Durutalo | We have more urgent environment issues to solve in the Pacific right now, for example, climate change and the rising sea level. We do not want to complicate our lives further through some "development" which will only exacerbate environmental degradation. |
