ACT NOW TO HELP REEF

- John Pratt, Mooroobool

CORAL on the Great Barrier Reef has bleached again, the sea surface temperatur­e is increasing even in La Nina years.

The next El Nino year will see massive bleaching. This week the World Meteorolog­ical Organisati­on said we have a 50-50 chance of passing 1.5C global warming before 2025.

This election may be our last chance to elect politician­s who take climate change seriously and will listen to the scientists.

We need urgent action now. Neither the Liberal party nor the Labor Party have climate policy that will keep us below 1.5C. Make your vote count, vote to save the Great Barrier Reef.
