    The impacts of the environmental damage are not necessarily worse than the environmental damage from not sinking superyachts in the long term, if it becomes a common enough threat that rich people no longer feel secure in owning them.

    The concern with anything too destructive is with the property and safety of workers on board imo, not the ships themselves.

    I’d recommend Andreas Malm’s book How to Blow Up a Pipeline if you want to hear more about the reasoning for this sort of thing.

      I’ve heard about this book before but I haven’t had the chance to read it yet.

      Definitely a reading I must add to my list, I’ll try to find a copy of it to correct this lack of information.

      Thanks a lot for the suggestion!!
