Activists stage metal concert to sound of deep sea machinery outside London summit
CLIMATE activist group Ocean Rebellion staged a heavy metal concert outside the Deep Sea Mining Summit in London’s Canary Wharf on Wednesday.

Miners search for mineral chunks in the deep sea known as manganese nodules, which can be used for “green” battery technology among other things.
