Australia has a moral responsibility to stop approving new coalmines and gas fields, instead of exporting failed attempts to resuscitate overheating coral reefs. (So far, the number of hectares of reef successfully restored in Australia is approximately zero). theconversation.com/we-have-a-mo...

This week we will see Treasurer Chalmers factor in Cyclone Alfred into budget. Why are we paying for the damages? Why aren’t fossil fuel companies being charged a levy on every tonne of export coal and gas to provide disaster relief? Either we pay or those responsible for disaster do. #auspol

New study finds that citizen scientists are pretty good at analyzing photographs of corals. But the elephant in the room - unaddressed by this study - is whether the photographs themselves are hopelessly biased (because most people swim past dead corals before they photograph a live one).

Scott Morrison in the US still trying to steal from Australia. Most likely via the $368 billion AUKUS fraud scam. He should be in jail but Albanese did his dirty deal with Dutton to set up the fake National Anti-Corruption Commission so the likes of Morrison walk free

The Minister said "the (coal) projects had to comply with Australia’s commitment to reach net zero emissions" (relying on meaningless offsets, & ignoring exported emissions). Meanwhile, massive losses of corals on the Great Barrier Reef earlier in 2024 will be released... after the election?
