Officials are warning the Great Barrier Reef will collapse if the Earth's temperature increases by 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports scientists believe coal-fired power will need to be phased out globally by 2050 in order to maintain the reef. The world has already warmed by one degree, and climate change has devastated much of the world heritage site after two consecutive years of mass coral bleaching. Image: News Corp Australia
Does this warning also apply to the 5000 kilometre Ningaloo reef. “Crickets”
The timing seems a bit weird right before the election, makes me think this is the greens inspired Fake news
Look what happened to the dinosaurs. Pesky climate change, or was it an asteroid?
Scam - after your $$$$$$$ Keep your hands out of my pocket.
2/2 Excerpt The Spectator March 2019 Yes, coral bleaching has occurred, but that is not a new phenomenon. In fact, the white colourisation that creates the ‘bleached’ look is a natural response that enables the coral to adjust to warmer temperatures and, over time, thrive.
1/2 Except The Spectator March 2019. Peter Ridd’s contribution to the Institute of Public Affairs’ Climate Change: The Facts 2017, in which he dispels the myths about the Great Barrier Reef repeated ad nauseam by climate evangelists. Yes, ....
That may be true - but tell that to the Government about Adani. By allowing them to export our coal, will this country also be responsible for the increase in temperature incurred by another country using our coal? auspol ScottMorrisonMP billshortenmp PaulineHansonOz
Crankie58 The earth's average temperature has already reached 1.0 degrees C above its pre-industrial levels. Funny how you report this, but Murdoch's Sky News includes one of the worst bunch of climatechange deniers in the media. A reckoning is coming. auspol
Fake news
What a load of rubbish!
Peter Rid doesn’t agree‼️
This old beatup again. Must be time to bring this back to a different generation of people who weren't born when this was run before. The climate change scare tactic, that the world is going to end.
Won’t happen! JoshFrydenberg and TurnbullMalcolm gave some tinpot outfit up that way $500 mill to ensure that couldn’t ever occur. Oh yes, I see your point. Vote buying narcissists.
If the earths temperature does rise() 1.5 degrees legitimately it wont have anything to do with coal and we wont be able to do a damn thing about it!!
Bullshit story sponsored by global communists
belungerer Yeah but ADANI... will give 5 jobs!
Why do corals do well in waters which are 1.5 degrees warmer? Won’t it just migrate south so we will have corals off the Gold Coast. Awesome! Maybe if if you frame it that irucandji jellyfish are coming south ppl may care.
Why keep blaming coal. Deforestation of 50% of the earth's forests, is the sole reason the atmosphere is breaking down. But let's keep ignoring the facts shall we. Too hard to fix that one.
Corals have been around for half a billion years, and survived the Jurassic, Cretaceous and Paleo-Eocene Thermal Maximum (+8 degrees Celsius above current temps). The great barrier reef is only 20,000 years old, and was mostly dry land B4. This is blatant fear mongering idiocy.
news_australian Either it wont collapse, or it collapse naturally every interglacial warming cycle:
BULLSHIT....Just want to enforce a climate tax to rip people off , I'm off to buy a V12 motor car (diesel)
Relax, we're cooling again.
Mmmm looks like the inmates are trying to run the asylum still 😂
What officials? What agenda do they have - the UN approach? Natural structures have been and gone through history for a whole range of reasons.
“Officials”? Well there is the first lie.. Who we talking about? The UN? lol
Coal is king, AGW is bullshit, GSM is coming
“Officials”. That is a most bereft of qualification story even for our lazy journo’s. At some stage you have to stop just being a talking head and question the spin rolling across your teleprompter.
What a load of crap
More bullshit than an ALP picnic....
More scaremongering. The same corals live in PNG and Indonesia with even warmer water temperatures! This is BS!
That dolt Roman Dean will dismiss this. What a clown
Tell that to the climate change denying after dark nut jobs then.
Don't believe it
I think Peter Ridd would dismiss that as bullshit.
They can use the ½ b$ to fix it.
