Dear JF Aus,
I wouldn't rely on the media to effect change. These sorts of issues have already been brought to public attention by the scientific community for a long time. Especially the destruction of phytoplankton that would result from an ongoing depletion of the ozone layer. If the phytoplankton go then it's goodbye human race. That's why the big global corporations and governments came on board in the late 1980s in a concerted effort to eradicate the CFCs that break down the ozone layer. No phytoplankton. no oxygen for us homo sapiens! Posted by Mr Opinion, Sunday, 28 July 2019 1:51:28 PM

By 'media' you mean mainstream media? If so, they might not have gagged information; they just haven't written about it because they don't know about, or if they do know abiut it, they don't consider reporting it will help sell their product, and/or their customers would not be interested.
You have found the information in what is obviously a branch of the media, so it's no big secret. As the MSM are in the business of scare-mongering, and they have not used this information, they obviously don't think much of it, and neither would their customers, by their reckoning.

Dear ttbn,
After reading your post above and your comments on mainstream media it is now easy to see why you, Hasbeen, individual, Loudmouth and mhaze are all suffering from paranoid delusion. You're even starting make me think we might be under attack from Martians! Posted by Mr Opinion, Sunday, 28 July 2019 3:51:42 PM

Look closely at mainstream media response to damage to our coastal waters that are supposed to be supplying adequate food to fish and animals of the Pacific Ocean. Google: mutton bird starvation. Google: starving whales.
The Australian ABC is funded to communicate, including to communicate national disasters and economic opportunities from solutions to serious problems. For example, reporting evidence of sewage nutrient pollution causing eutrophication and damage to GBR coral should lead to action and solutions. But no, there is silence and no public and political awareness, and therefore no appropriate resources for solutions. Are Australian voters aware of need for resources for science to develop technology to reduce sewage nutrient in sewage wastewater instead of dumping it in the ocean? Are voters aware of the northerly flowing longshore current driving the east coast of Australia sediment dispersal system that transports nutrient through GBR waters to Cape York and beyond? Are politicians and the public aware of eutrophication in GBR waters and that acidification may not be the cause of coral bleaching? Are voters aware the same sediment system current is transporting nutrient pollution into estuaries where it's feeding algae killing seagrass small fish nurseries that are supposed to be feeding Pacific Ocean tuna? Can anybody show an example of where the GBR - longshore current - sediment dispersal and the sewage nutrient and eutrophication scenario, has already been brought to public attention by MSM? I think not. Absolutely not. As for the public not thinking much of ocean ecosystem devastation, ask coastal communities if they are interested in solutions to why their amateur fishing tourism and local fresh seafood supply have collapsed. ask anyone if they are interested in solutions to fresh local fish costing a fortune, unaffordable to most families. Fish, that not long ago was low-cost food for the poor. Ask is anyone is interested in solutions to prevent whales and seabirds from starving to death. Where has all this been reported? Its being gagged and suppressed. MSM reporters show keen interest but editors put a stop to that. Why is that so? f.y.i. http://www.jcronline.org/doi/abs/10.2112/08-1120.1?code=cerf-site http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3946114/ Posted by JF Aus, Sunday, 28 July 2019 4:57:39 PM

Dear JF Aus,
I'm interested in all the things you are raising. (I think you will find that coral bleaching is caused by rising water temperature due to global warming, not acidification.) Actually my particular area of interest and personal research in environmental sociology is Water. And I can honestly tell you that we are in big trouble. The oceans hold 40% of CO2 and as the water heats up due to global warming it loses its capacity to hold it, releasing it back into the atmosphere where it acts as a trigger for a increased greenhouse effect making the planet hotter. Think of the ocean as a can of cold soft drink just opened; initially it is fizzy but left to stand it gets warm losing its ability to hold its CO2 and hence losing its fizz. Same with the oceans as they heat up. It's the warm water that kills the living part of coral thus losing its colour colour and going white. Posted by Mr Opinion, Sunday, 28 July 2019 5:25:26 PM

Since at least 2008 I have been stating there is more algae in the ocean, due to sewage nutrient pollution.
ALGAE is phytoplankton.
Not long after making my statements the mainstream media reported less phytoplankton, that plankton was decreasing.
Now however the link attached here forms evidence the media was wrong.
Especially note the last paragraph, just before the Bibliography.
The problem is solutions have not been put in place and so critically serious damage and impact and consequences are continuing, including starvation of whales and seabirds and increase in cost of fish and food world wide. Is Climate Change the only problem?
Why is mainstream media gagging and suppressing evidence indicating the devastated state of the world ocean and waterways?
Why?
