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. elibrary.gbrmpa.gov.au/jspui/bitstrea…
@ProfTerryHughes @RobMax4 Met a German couple in Sanur last week who had recently been in Australia, paid big $$ for a GB reef 🪸 tour. They were so disappointed to see so much white coral ☹️
@ProfTerryHughes 2025 when duopoly's booted out we may get govt greenwashing & propaganda outlawed. The present system is not in the nation's interests, perhaps only the tourism resort owning sector?
@ProfTerryHughes But Australia needs more coal, Terry! FMD what happens to billionaires when all they can eat is themselves. You grow up being told not to put your hand in the fire because you’ll get burned then discover the people who warned you are demanding you put it in the fire!
@ProfTerryHughes @Weather_West As a SCUBA diver for 40 years, seeing areas marked with "no live coral" on the GBR is utterly heartbreaking.
