Poor Bob. Looks like no-one is taking him seriously these days, according to a recent post over at Jennifer Marohasy’s blog:
“PROMINENT scientists with long publications records, such as Bob Carter, are routinely described by the media as not being climate scientists and really not reputable scientists at all if they aren’t on [...]
Since the release of Professor Ian Plimer‘s book titled ‘Heaven and Earth‘ was published, a number of reputable scientists and authors including Tim Lambert, Ian Enting, Barry Brook, Michael Ashley, David Karoly, Kurt Lambeck and Charlie Veron have taken the book to [...]
Ove is too shy and modest to say so, but he just published a critical response to a provocative article by Maynard et al. (2009). He also blogged about this episode here and here. Ill paste the abstract below and also an excerpt. The full article is hidden behind Springer’s Corporate Wall of Greed. [...]
Leading Australian scientists today released the following call for action to save the world’s coral reefs, at a scientific symposium in Brisbane:
Coral reefs are irreplaceable and far too valuable for human societies to allow their continued destruction. It is a moral imperative that coral reefs are not simply abandoned as [...]
Dr Bernie Degnan and his team have been sequencing the genome of the simple sea sponge here at the University of Queensland and have made some pretty astonishing findings in regards to humans and stem cells:
CARLY LAIRD: For anyone who thought the cartoon character, SpongeBob SquarePants, was a bit far fetched, think again. Bernie Degnan is a professor of marine biology at the University of Queensland. He says although sea sponges certainly can’t talk and don’t have their own apartments under the sea, they are indeed clever marine animals.
BERNIE DEGNAN: Sponges just by their natural biology do things that we only wish we can engineer in a biomedical laboratory.
John Bruno mentioned this in passing at the bottom of his last post (Climate Literacy), but I thought this deserved a post of it’s own. Check out JB’s blog over at his lab website, bought to you live from the Galapagos Islands – shark surveys, coral monitoring, marine iguanas, seals on [...]
Good to see the honorable Kevin Rudd has “…decided to kick off my blogging career with a focus on climate change“:
The latest scientific research on climate change confirms our worst fears. Climate change is happening faster than we previously thought, creating a more serious threat to our economy, [...]
The 7000-year-old coral communities of Moreton Bay are telling a curious tale, expanding when sea-levels rise or water quality improves, then declining when current circulation becomes more restricted.
Intriguing new insights into the behaviour of corals and fish under changing climatic conditions will be presented by leading marine researchers at a public forum in [...]
There is a great article on the Earth Forum about Climate Literacy. The permanant link is here and an expanded version of the article (titled the Climate Literacy Handook) is here (in the Encyclopedia of Earth). Ill exerpt some of the short version below. Also check our the Coral Reefs collection [...]
Fifteen of Australia’s top climate experts explain how we know humans are altering the atmosphere and why we must act now.
The global average temperature has increased by about 0.8 degrees since 1850, with most of the increase occurring since 1950. The warming varies among decades because of natural fluctuations but the overall [...]
