1. No, No! It must be completely gone by now. I mean, it’s been three years since Attenborough said it was mortally wounded.

   1. In 1995 The Great Barrier Reef was HALF DEAD!!! HALF !!! GONE !!!

      And the BBC is never wrong. And never biased

   2. Oh … and then SIR David Attenborough scolded that we must “curb excess capitalism” … if we are to save the planet

      Yes … what he meant to say is that all you little people need to eat bugs and live in the dirt.

   3. In Dr. Patrick Moore’s book is a good summary of what happened to Dr.Ridd! Dr. Ridd was perfectly correct that the reef was fine but his university James Cook University and the Federal Court of Australia took him to court “, For not Being Collegial”

2. It maybe why the Polar Bears became extinct in Canada?
   Got sucked down in the Bermuda Triangle?

   Pushing inaccurate stories still by the mainstream media and governments keep the population ill informed.
   Stop watching that crap it’s making you retarded.

   Do your own investigation not sponsored by our government agencies agenda… gotta keep the narrative going.

3. There are now two kinds of reefer madness ! Both wrong.

4. Dr. Peter Ridd heroically took on the GBR grifter industry and paid a the heavy price of loosing his position at James Cook U. Good to see that he is still in fighting form.

5. My first exposure to the “OMG the Barrier Reef is dying!!” came very early…Chickadee magazine if I’m not mistaken, those magazines handed out by teachers intent on scaring the living shit out of impressionable minds.
   Quickly followed by acid rain and the ever mysterious disappearing Ozone layer that no one talks about anymore.

   1. That’s because they drained all the Freon out of our AC units and made us purchase NEW appliances that could use the planet-saving substitute! Just like with compact fluorescent bulbs … the government has SAVED THE PLANET! … for now. But there’s SO MUCH MORE WORK TO DO!

6. Just checked the SDA archives, thought I had read an article about a post-surgery medical instrument sterilizer that converts oxygen into ozone to complete the sterilization.

   A fantastic idea and very inexpensive to run: up to 100x’s cheaper.

   I had heard these were killed by big pharma and the excuse was that it produced “evil ozone”.

   Does anyone in our medical community know if these machines are indeed still being used?

7. Reminds me of the time I invested in a company that used Ethylene Oxide in the sterilization process for hospital instruments. Showed promise but I should have known the EPA and the CDC would get involved.

8. I have been fortunate enough to dive the GBR and Coral Sea. It’s good to know others will be able to do so long into the future.

9. Speaking of the BBC. This is how the Indonesian government protects its coral reefs (with nickel).

   Not on anyone’s radar.

10. The coral triangle is near the equator. Coral prefers warm water.
