The Australian government has quietly released the map of mass coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef this summer, confirming that the 5th event in just 8 years is the most severe & the most widespread ever.

This time, only the far north has escaped.

Is the #AMOC approaching a tipping point? Here's my take after researching this topic for over 30 years. Open access, peer-reviewed, in full colour & understandable for non-experts.

Across Southern Africa -the worst #drought on record. Global heating has turned these bread basket regions into areas that now require food aid to feed their populations. There's hardly a grain in the fields and the water resources have disappeared. Malnutrition is widespread

We live in the age of Orwellian Climate Policies
where 'the planetary future is hostage to myopic national self-interest'..

International agreements talk of limiting global warming to 1.5- 2 degrees but we are going far beyond

Every tiny-scale coral ‘restoration’ project on the Great Barrier Reef has been destroyed or severely damaged this summer due to anthropogenic heating.

Qantas is pulling your leg, so they can keep polluting while pretending to care about environmental damage.

The Australian Government expects to export MORE thermal coal over the next 5 years, not less.

Further evidence today that the Australian government has no intention of phasing out fossil fuels for as long as they are profitable.

In the meantime, the #GreatBarrierReef is experiencing its highest levels of heat stress on record.

The #GreatBarrierReef is experiencing its 5th coral die-off in 8 years.

But it’s really lovely to hear instead from Australian government agencies about an underwater loudspeaker that attracts fish larvae to concrete blocks.

Roger Hallam James Edward Hansen David Spratt Even if we get through this El Nino event, without it triggering a catastrophe, what about the next one, and the next one after that?

I just don't understand these optimists saying it will be back to normal after this El Nino event. There's something wrong with their judgement.
