Great Barrier Reef to Become Dreging Dump Yard

Wow that is just dispicable! What are they thinking?
 
Yeah you would think that there would be another option for that kind of stuff. Doesnt seem right
 
Stupid humans.
 
it's not humans - it's corporations (and individuals behind them), namely the ones who rack in the billions and then move to another place where they can take a dump. In another order of ideas, if this was done by anybody else than a "traditional ally" of US, GB, etc governments UNESCO would have reacted, I immagine if this was done by Iran or the likes we would be talking of trade embargoes as punishment measures, like this, ....; dogs bark, water flows, ....

In economics this is fits the concept of "cost transferring" and "common goods", meaning you save some money and in the process you destroy a public good (environment) because you are well enough connected to be allowed to; then you pack your suitcase full of money and find a place where you and your offspring can live happily ever after, preferably one where NOBODY is allowed to take a dump on public property.
And I thought there is such a thing as CIVILIZED WORLD, ....
 
i was hoping to go there when i retire but it look like by that time the reefs would not be as what it is today......... so sad, the human stupidity is beyond comprehend
 
Not new when politicians, lobbyists and money involved.
For example, China has lost 80% (yes, 80%) of its coral reef in the last 30 years.

It is humans though....
 
In reality they are just doing what the US did years ago. The barrier reef has been in trouble for a long time. Just to name one issue the run off of fertilizer from farming has caused an explosion of crown of thorn on the reef. And if you think AEFW are bad Crown of thorns make AEFWs look like asternia stars in comparison

Sad but we have to honest about what our own country has done and how we have set the tone across the world.
 
Because we all know that making things illegal will stop people.

How about enforcing all the laws that are in the books already?
