I joined @pewtrusts’ "After the Fact" podcast to talk about the deep sea—and why so much is still unknown.
We explore what’s at stake as interest in #DeepSeaMining🪸⛏️ grows, and what we still need to understand before moving forward.

What lives miles below the ocean’s surface? We’re still learning the answer.
We talked with the filmmakers behind “How Deep Is Your Love” and Pew expert @Allatsea4 on why seabed mining could put ecosystems at risk.

* $1.5B notional worth of S&P500 (ES) futures are bought in a single clip.
* $192M notional of oil futures (CL) sold.
More than 4x-6x any other trade size during the market close.
Insiders profited from his lies in broad daylight!
