For some,the Reef is but a coathanger for their politicized agendas. For most Australians, it is a source of wonder, joy, and beauty.
Some news articles prompted me to post again.
The papers can present some facts that federal politicians and others would rather avoid. I've also posted a link to the Snapshot referred to if anyone wants to dig deeper.

Seems to be a case of bad news gets lots of publicity, but good news is ignored.
Another laughable misconception and distortion.Never forget that most "scientists" or government paid..>>>Dan
Another laughable misconception and distortion.
Most scientists, like most people, are employed by private companies or self-employed.
Most ignoramuses post nonsense on forums.
Aha, 2 reports. Brian, I appreciate your postings. I wouldn`t usually associate "fair" and "ABC".Well, to be fair the ABC was covering a different report than the one I posted about in post #29. As detailed localised research continues overall understanding improves.
My agenda here is to regularly update results from the long term monitoring programs that are taxpayer funded. They are carried out by career scientists who are obliged to report the data collected objectively. I think they are worth a quick look even if folks don't have the inclination to read them fully.
Knotyet,
Yup, you gotta dance with the one who brung you.
If you want your Govt funding to continue, you gotta agree with the Govt. Many current ‘papers’ quote other ‘papers’. ‘Papers’ that are poorly planed and executed and incorrect conclusions. The hell with science.
Want an example? “We have more growing trees than we did have 30 years ago.” That is most definitely true BUT, they are so small they are not yet marketable size. Even the growing conditions are perfect these planted or naturally occuring trees may not be ready to harvest until anywhere between 30 and 1000 years, depending on temp.
Meanwhile Alberta Canada has burned up in excess a half million acres of tree this year and no end in sight.
