Woodside Open Day at @wamuseum.bsky.social

Will it tell about mass coral bleaching & mortality at #NingalooReef in 2025❓
yungenchee.bsky.social Yung En Chee @yungenchee.bsky.social · Aug 8
#NingalooReef "annual surveys of the northern section of the reef in May found up to 90 per cent of coral had been bleached down to 20 metres depth", the "lowest cover of live coral" observed since 2007

"up to 50 per cent of the examined coral was dead in May" but "more would be dead now"
‘You realise your children are probably never going to see Ningaloo the way you saw it’
The west-coast reef has largely escaped the curse of coral bleaching that has blighted the Great Barrier Reef. This year, that’s changed.

Yet another head of a #science and #culture body showing their lack of understanding of #climate_science, and the lengths they will go to diminish and deflect the issue, and all the while patronising its staff.

2 minutes later my comment has gone.

The censorship at #TheClimateCouncil is a type of #Greenwashing. They literally won't feature comments that call out the #WAmuseum.

#TheClimateCouncil are calling out Woodside for greenwashing, but don't include #WAMuseum for greenwashing on their behalf to children.

Of course, my comment will be deleted from their page.
