I'm a dual national, I was at the Great Barrier Reef around 18 months ago - it's not in 'great shape'. 1/5th of the worlds coral reefs have been destroyed since 2015, what do you not understand? There is no coming back from bleeching, it takes hundreds of thousands of years.
Go and speak to anyone who is an expert and or studies coral around the world and they paint a vastly different picture, from the bullshit the Australian government has fed to you via the media.
I will tell my kids (should I choose to have them), that the previous generations fucked up and it's going to be up to me and them to improve things. I will show them the value of nature and why it must be preserved and why empathy towards animals is critical.
Whatever, I'm typing and made a couple of typos.
I am not getting my info from the government Bazz I have seen it recently for myself and I know some of the reef experts that actually look at the health or the reef and make a considered and factual assessment.
The bleaching which is a natural occurrence is due to algae expulsion and the coral in the great barrier reef can and does survive this event.
You would be surprised how much white living coral was around when one of your greatest navigators Captain James Cook chartered the waters.
I suggest you look at the weather patterns and solar cycles that have been around since Adam was a boy Bazz.
El Nino and La Nina would be a good start.
the IPCC reports talks about longer lives , greener planet better food production due to a warmer climate.
What are in fact the difference between models and the observations I wonder?
Look up Prof John Christy.
is that a death knell on us Bazz.
how did rising seas cut off Australia from New Guinea Bazz?
Surely you would not put that in the man made CO2 basket albeit we could solve co2 emissions quickly as far as man is concerned by stopping to exhale.
The latest reports on droughts , fires , wind intensity , tornadoes , cyclones by number by the IPPC and mans influence on them might surprise you.
More heat waves suggests fewer shorter cold snaps and its well known that in the US cold weather kills more people than hot weather.
Climate change is not a death sentence for humanity.
