Snorkeling at Flynn Reef (The Great Barrier Reef)

Is the Great Barrier Reef really in danger? Professor Peter Ridd's Inaugural Professorial Lecture

If you believe what you read in both the popular and scientific literature, the Great Barrier Reef will be gone in a few decades. In this talk it is shown that the threats posed to the reef from agricultural runoff have been greatly exaggerated, and that global warming, if it continues, may also have minimal affect on the reef. It will be argued that Australia has far greater environmental issues to solve than threats to the reef.
