Adani Carmichael Coal Mine and the Great Barrier Reef


Despite tremendous protest and uproar from environment activists, Queensland's Premier Anastasia Palaszczuk officially announced the go-ahead for Adani's mining operations in the Galilee Basin (Queensland, Australia). Environmentalists both in Australia and around the world fear that this might be the death knell for the Great Barrier Reef, that has barely managed to survive a mass bleaching episode.

The comic appears in my column with Mid-Day today.

Bleached Barrier Reef


In what the Australian media has aptly described as a "global tragedy", scientists have been reporting mass bleaching from the world's largest coral reef system. The event has been acknowledged as the reef's worst bleaching episode in history, that will have irreversible effects on marine life. 

The cartoon appears on my Gocomics page today. More on the news here.
