USING STEVE IRWIN'S DEATH
David Helvarg, president of the Blue Frontier Campaign, takes the opportunity of Steve Irwin's death to make some dubious points about the need to conserve the oceans. Along the way he says some pretty dumb stuff:
The oceans are a rougher and more difficult wilderness for humans to function in than any encountered by terrestrial or space explorers. The sea pummels us with an unbreathable and corrosive liquid medium...The oceans are more hostile than outer space? Sea water is corrosive? Opportunistic dumbarse.

Yeah, sea water (and indeed water in general) is highly corrosive. You don't usually realise how nasty a solvent it is, because the stuff is everywhere, so anything that could be dissolved generally already has been.
