Great Barrier Reef in great health while climate change kills science

Despite record-high emissions of carbon dioxide and hottest ever temperatures, the Great Barrier Reef was again enjoying one of its best years yet. In the 40 years that AIMS has been studying it, the last four years have been great results.
Judging by the data, corals are coping fine with today’s heat and CO2. But the more money we spend finding a climate crisis, the worse our science institutions get. One-sided money and monopoly science can turn any institute into a tax-grabbing-machine, that serves the Blob, not the people. Thus is it so.
The AIMS annual reef survey for 2025 tells us that the Great Barrier Reef had suffered “a sharp decline after a record-breaking heatwave.” Worse, mass coral bleaching is becoming more frequent as the world warms, and the time between events is shrinking, giving corals less time to recover.
Peter Ridd took the same data and did the graph that AIMS, with $90 million in taxpayer dollars, couldn’t do — so we can all appreciate the full disaster. And here it is:
