Graham Readfearn has resigned as an environmental reporter at the Courier Mail. Graham has run a number of stories and editorials about climate change, such as this great post where he gives The Australian a spanking over their continued dodgy coverage of climate change science (which ill include in full below).
He also recently [...]
Check out this new video about the hideous effects of plastics on the oceans and sea birds by Clare Fieseler. Clare is an MEM student at Duke University’s Nicholas School for the Environment and is a quasi-Bruno lab member. She is doing her thesis project with my lab on the efficacy of MPAs in Belize.

The BBC posted a pretty neat video about a rare giant deep sea fish called an ‘oarfish’ in the Gulf of Mexico. The footage is pretty neat as it’s one of the first times an oarfish has been filmed in the deep – most tend to wash up half dead or dying on [...]
Editorial writer, AKA “journalist” for The Australian Jamie Walker has responded to reports (e.g., see the coverage by Media Watch here) of inaccuracies in his piece last week on the GBR and climate change. We noted many of these problems and the broader media is now taking a second look at Jamie’s work [...]
It seems that we were not the only ones to be alarmed by the serious errors on the front page of The Australian last week. ABC Media Watch explores journalist Jamie Walker’s illogical and fact-free rampage, identifying severe shortcomings in his story and any support for the conclusion that, “Report undercuts PM’s [...]
As part of his $100,000 tour around our great brown land, Christopher Monckton has claimed a great knowledge about the Great Barrier Reef. In an interview with Jon Faine of ABC Radio 774, Monckton claimed that he had a chart which showed that the temperature on the Great Barrier Reef have not changed for [...]
I wanted to add a little to Ove’s continued defence against ‘The Australian’ on going war against science. Whilst most people see the Great Barrier Reef as being one large coral reef, it also contains an array of other habitats including seagrass meadows that are critical to the overall ecosystem. Seagrasses, amongst there [...]
No really, i’m not kidding. Remember that CO2 satellite NASA lost after a launch failure last October? (click here for the video). Well, according to Lord Monckton, the crash was “extremely dissapointing” for other more nefarious reasons:
”Not greatly to my surprise – indeed I predicted it – the satellite crashed [...]
Mining billionaire Clive Palmer has just been awarded the deal of the century. Under an arrangement financed by China (from where he borrowed the money), Clive Palmer will export $69 billion worth of thermal coal from new coal mines in central Queensland. This deal, which still requires government approval, pits coal [...]
I stumbled across today over at Sea Fever blog, and thought was worth re-posting here. First, a bit of background from the Australian Institute of Marine Science on exactly how they managed to get a tiger shark to eat their camera:
Baited Remote Underwater Video Stations (BRUVS) have been [...]
