    That’s great do they stop Russia invading the Antarctic and drilling for gas and oil to sell and burn.

    Cool science tech!
    I wish they didn’t add the somber climate change scare tactics…

    This is a great use for tech! These drones have everything except the kitchen sink. Way to go I look forward to unmanned vehicles to do other research.

    How do they keep the bottom of the Salildrones from being covered with barnacles and debris!

    Are they made from 100% recyclable materials? What’s the process of saving these drones if they become non-functional in the middle of the ocean?

      they did NOT find a way to get it “funded” or “PAID” by government and corporations!
      Its NOT about the tech is about the MONEY!

    The fight against climate change? I prefer the slow death by “climate change” over death by volcano. Don’t give up.

    It is so amazing all the million’s and million’s spent on 1,000’s of new gadget technology every year just to see how fast Earth is being destroyed by human’s. Human’s worship SMART people but when it comes to WISDOM and DISCERNMENT for prevention,,, they think of that after everything is DEAD and GONE. If we just should of,,,,,
