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…

Your regular reminder that the salmon companies currently undermining Tas world heritage status are entirely foreign owned, including by wildly corrupt Brazilian firm, and pay no tax. theaustralian.com.au/nation/uns-ple…

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

Tragically, we now have 7 bleaching maps for the Great Barrier Reef. In 2016, 30% of the corals died. 51% died in the northern region that year. In 2024, the extent and severity of bleaching is much greater, and mortality of corals on orange reefs has already exceeded 50%.

We share the anger that governments have failed to take action to reduce emissions rapidly, despite the warnings of the scientific community, and the extreme heat, floods and other events that the world has witnessed in the last few years. theguardian.com/environment/ar…

The Australian Government needs to open new gas basins because it can't possibly leave Japanese and Korean gas companies 'high and dry'. But it is completely comfortable with Pacific Island communities drowning under rising sea levels. afr.com/politics/feder… #auspol #climate

The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority continues to refuse to use the word "severe" in regard to the coral bleaching event this year - happy to use it in relation to flooding though. Yet scientists know it is the most severe bleaching event in the Reef's history.

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

With CO2 levels in the atmosphere now record high levels and knowledge the largest source of CO2 increase in the atmosphere over the last decade has been from fossil gas feels as though the Albanese government is giving us all the 🖕 https://www.the guardian.com/environment/ar…

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 Great Barrier Reef is seeing unprecedented coral bleaching. “Up to half may die” according to the Australian Institute of Marine Science. (Photo from Lizard Island in March). economist.com/science-and-te…

10 wks after mass coral bleaching began in February, more than 80% of this species of Isopora has been killed by record heat exposure on the reef flat at Heron Island. The dead skeletons have already been colonized by cyanobacteria and algae, fertilized by rotting coral tissues

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…

“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…
