Could digging up the ocean floor help save the planet? – BBC News
Scientists are looking at what would happen if we were to dig up the ocean floor for metals.
They’re particularly interested in cobalt, which is a prime ingredient of the rechargeable batteries found in phones and electric cars.
As more and more of us choose to move away from fossil fuels, the demand for cobalt is even greater.
But what damage could mining the seabed do to marine life?

Much of western Europe is under the most extreme red heat alerts – meaning there’s a potential risk to life.
France, Spain and Italy have been hardest hit by the heatwave so far.
But why is it so hot? What can you do to stay safe? And is El Nino to blame?
We answer some of your most asked questions about the heatwave sweeping Europe with our climate and health correspondents.
We’re also joined by our teams in Paris, Madrid and the south of France.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

Wow, 'MORE' cobalt will be needed for batteries for Electric Vehicles. This is one of the biggest fallacies. It is gut wrenching to see this statement being bounced around. Cobalt is used to refine oil into petrol/gasoline in such vast quantities that if all cars had to switch to electric we will actually decrease the mining of Cobalt. Cobalt is used once per EV car battery and can be recycled into a new battery once the battery is exhausted. In petrol/gasoline manufacture it is burnt into the air.

Take a look at the alternatives. Robert Murray-Smith's channel for example shows the development of a hemp-based battery that he has shown outperforms lithium! Sounds crazy but he shows exactly how he has achieved it over the years. His company has just partnered with eestor with a view to industrialising the process. (I have no link to either company.)

"Save the planet" are people still believing this nonsense. It was here Billions of years before us and will remain when we're long gone. Also CO2 makes up 0.0391% of the earth's atmosphere……but 97% of Agenda pushers want you to think we are the problem.

I find it ironic that people express outrage at this through their mobile devices the batteries of which require the metals that they are seeking to mine from the seabed. If you're so unhappy perhaps consider not adding to the demand for these products by buying them. You're all hypocrites.

So if everyone is using electric cars, where do we get all the electricity? Wind turbines kill shit tons of birds and solar panels only have a 30 year life span.

Of Course… if you dig out the ocean floors deep enough… we wouldn't all need swimming lessons in twenty five years. Hmmmm… (SPOILER ALERT: We're fucked)

The fatal flaw in Human thinking is the timescale it can process. We think in terms of the immediate; but one day, whatever else we manage to fuck up, this planet will, with 100% certainty be destroyed – even if mankind survives itself, a big rock will slap us or Yellowstone goes off or – even if we make it Billions of years, the Sun goes Nova and flash-fries the Earth anyway. So, the only logical move we have is to use the limited resources we have WISELY. And it's not building more cars. We need to get off this rock before the next one comes along – and the resources we need to do that? We are PISSING them up the collective wall.

Seriously??? That just made me so angry! I’m getting to the stage where the only solution I see for the planet is us lit becoming extinct! The planet will be a whole lot better off without us. If they seriously consider that a potential solution to a massive issue that is so out of control that it’s almost beyond us… I say beam me up Scotty I need to escape from these bloody humans!

The heading "Could digging up the ocean floor help save the planet? – BBC News
" makes no sense for this video. What's the link between this and saving the planet?

" Scientists" are looking at what would happen if "we" were to dig up the ocean floor for metals.
"They're particularly interested in cobalt", which is a prime ingredient of the rechargeable batteries found in phones and electric cars.
i wonder how the title itself will going to save them (scientists ) because it is we who are digging and not them a cording this title their work here is to predict what could happen
