I am speechless about this. Our PM celebrating 1,000 shipments of a fossil fuel across the Great Barrier Reef when the Reef is experiencing its worst coral bleaching and mortality event on record. Anthony Albanese UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 Fanny Douvere
The first global bleaching event was in 1998 and the fourth is now under way. Australian Institute of Marine Science researchers write that until we curb the emissions driving global warming, the pressure on coral reefs will continue to increase. theconversation.com/global-coral-b…
A really important article #auspol in The Monthly by Richard Flanagan. Labor’s first extinction “… a parable of what we do when we do nothing, of what happens when we let corporate greed and political cowardice define our world as a lie.” themonthly.com.au/issue/2024/may…
The Great Barrier Reef today, says Terry Hughes, is a different system to the reef Australians agreed to protect in the 1970s. “Increasingly, it is a checkerboard of individual reefs with different recent histories of recurrent bleaching.” satpa.pe/ie5aVA6
Profoundly disappointing. And this after a severe coral bleaching and mortality event on the #GreatBarrierReef. More gas development spells disaster for coral reefs. The Albanese Government knows this, yet continues down this path. UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 Fanny Douvere
Disappointing on so many levels. There is still a massive chasm between what is needed to deliver the commitments made by the Anthony Albanese Government to end extinctions and be nature-positive and the peanuts in the budget. 🥜🥜🥜
The federal budget has shown that the government's "#naturepositive" commitment is largely #greenwash We explain why, and what needs to be done instead, in The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand 🧵👇 Brendan Wintle Hugh Possingham Biodiversity Council theconversation.com/threatened-spe…
The Humbolt glacier, Venezuela's last, is gone. Named after the father of global sustainability, Alexander von Humbolt, who at Lake Valencia in Venezuela yr 1800, seeing the drought due to deforestation, launched the idea of human-induced climate change. indianexpress.com/article/explai…
“Australians should be clear that the “Future Gas Strategy” released last week is not in the national interest. It represents the greatest capitulation of any Australian government to…the fossil fuel industry.” “It is the latest form of climate denial…” johnmenadue.com/labors-future-…
Global surface temperatures from Berkeley Earth are now out for June. It was the warmest June on record for land, oceans, and the globe as a whole by a sizable margin (~0.14C), and came in at 1.6C above preindustrial levels.berkeleyearth.org/june-2024-temp…
