The World Wildlife Fund’s 2018 report on the Great Barrier Reef told us the shocking story of how run off from our farms, going into the rivers, is fuelling the breeding of the crown of thorns starfish, causing population explosions that will destroy the reef. Critical in minimising the damage from the Crown of Thorns starfish, the Report tells us, is improving the reef water quality by minimising the nutrient rich run-off from agriculture. The Report says that science has established a clear li...

In this programme, and over the next programmes, I’m going to be looking at the extreme danger that our Great Barrier Reef is in. Sir David Attenborough tells: Peter Ridd, a marine geophysicist, and lover of the Great Barrier Reef gives us this useful description of the Great Barrier Reef – something not easy to get your head around - in his book “ Reef Heresy ” he says what everyone says, I’ve never heard anyone express a different opinion, and explains what the Great Barrier Reef is: “ The Gre...

Did you know that if everyone ate a vegan diet, which excludes meat, eggs and dairy products, land-based carbon emissions could be cut by 70% by 2050 that’s the good news from the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). That good news was published in their 2019 report called “Food Security”. Did you also know that you could easily stop eating living things and be healthier because of it? These and other truths are going to be explored in this programme. And I’m going to share more tha...

I don’t scuba dive. So I don’t speak from personal experience, but I understand that diving off Costa Rica is really something. In the summer of 2015, then PhD student Christine Figgener, was out diving as part of her marine biology studies. She was in a boat, scraping parasites off a marine turtle’s back when she noticed something stuck up it’s nose. She could see that the turtle was in distress from it and she decided to pull it out. Luckily for posterity, she got out her video ready to record...

Everybody loves dinosaurs. Well they do! You name one person that doesn’t. So it was with great sadness that dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago. Or was it? Have you ever seen Jurassic Park – Lost World. A Tyranosaurus Rex ends up in the suburbs from Jurassic Park. A T-Rex going around your neighbourhood would not be a good look. Your dog’s chain hanging out of its mouth after it had been swallowed. Or what about that lawyer eaten by the T-Rex while he was on the toilet in the first Jura...

It was a grim call to action. Extinction Rebellion was going to be holding a rally at 180 The Strand, London, United Kingdom on 15 February 2020. The reason – to demand the end of London Fashion Week – so that life on earth could continue. The clothing industry alone, Extinction Rebellion said, accounts for 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions – that’s almost equal to the total emissions of the EU. The climate impact of the industry is predicted to increase by a shocking 49% by 2030. Fashion is...

In the spring of 2013 something absolutely incredible happened. A solar powered plane, called “Solar Impulse”, flew across the United States. “ Air & Space ” magazine was positively glowing at this accomplishment, which it said, was “ proving that unfuelled, clean flight is possible. Who needs fuel when the sun can keep you afloat. ” What seemed to be a technological triumph said pretty well everything that there is to say about solar energy. Solar suffers from chronic energy poverty. It can...

I quote: “ The battle to feed all of humanity is over. … hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. At this late date nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate. … no changes in behaviour or technology can save us unless we can achieve control over the size of the human population. The birth rate must be brought into balance with the death rate or mankind will breed itself into oblivion. ” From Paul Ehrlich’s “ Th...

The world was rivetted over 5 episodes of the 2019 HBO mini-series “Chernobyl” – about the nuclear plant disaster at Chernobyl in the Ukraine in April 1986. What you saw was pretty horrific stuff – here are some of the most dramatic grabs from the series. The nuclear accident at Chernobyl wasn’t the first time that there had been an accident at a nuclear plant. In 1979 America had the Three Mile Island accident. More recently, on 11 March 2011, after Japan was hit by a mighty Tsunami, a 15 metre...

Science tells us that for a child to have the best life that it can, it’s essential that it has both biological parents in its everyday life. If you’re a person who thinks you don’t matter, you’re wrong. To a child born with your egg or your sperm, inside the woman whose egg it is, then you’re one of the two human beings of the 8 billion people on this planet, that matter to that child more than any other human being possibly can. No matter how much wealth those other people have, no matter how ...

It turns out that the medical problems with getting a child through a surrogacy, begin with the petri dish when the lab is fertilising an egg for implantation into the surrogate’s womb, and the medical problems caused by this process may continue for the rest of the surrogate’s and child’s life. This, on top of all of the other problems that have been covered in earlier programmes. Let me tell you about the medical problems.

Using a third party surrogate means the child that is going to be implanted in that surrogate, is going to be robbed of one or both biological parents – if the process goes full term –resulting in a birth, that will be the beginning of a life, however long, which we know will be destructively damaging for that child in most cases. Then there are more complications if a third party surrogate’s being used, you’re hiring her womb. Then you’re entering into a situation where the embryo is the equiva...

How do the humans that have been made from eggs and/or sperm that have been bought and sold, planted inside the womb of a woman who has rented it for 91/2 months, while it gestates, feel about themselves?

It’s urgent for our governments to immediately ban the use of surrogate mothers in every situation – with one exception. Surrogacy inevitably results in terrible, life long, human suffering. If we are the caring society that we spend all of the time loudly announcing to anyone whether they’re willing to listen or not, then surrogacy has to be almost entirely abolished.

Scientific studies by pro-LGBT activist scientists characteristically take a very small, hand selected sample, of parents, and ask them what their children think about having homosexual parents. That is a joke of course. Depending on how the study is conducted, asking dependent children, living at home with, and entirely dependent on, their homosexual parents, also has problems in getting honest answers from the kids. Adult children of homosexual parents, who are no longer dependent on their par...

The homosexual family model has a core fatal flaw as they conclude when the say The problem with same-sex parenting, as previously noted, isn't the gay parent; it's the missing parent. In this century, for the first time in the history of humanity, homosexual marriage was made legal. More than that, rapidly the law gave two ad...

Is it just me or do you find this confusing too? One of the leading bodies fighting for the legalisation of homosexual marriage was the body called Australian Marriage Equality. One of the things that apparently kicked off the homosexual marriage campaign was the amendment of the Marriage Act by the Howard government, supported by the Latham Labor opposition, that specified that marriage was between one man and one woman, to the exclusion of all others. On 15 November 2017, Benedict Brook, at ne...

In my last programme I told you about the finding of Judge Vaughan Walker in Perry v. [I’ll be back] Schwarzennegger. He made this finding, but he couldn’t have been much wronger – my word, if he had tried: Children raised by gay or lesbian parents are as likely as children raised by heterosexual parents to be healthy, successful and well-adjusted. The research supporting this conclusion is accepted beyondserious debate in the field of developmental psychology. The truth was revealed by Australi...

In the last programme I looked at some of the research into whether children with homosexual parents were in a worse position than children with heterosexual partners. The answer was that the science that made findings that there was no difference, was deeply flawed and driven by the LGBTQI+ movement political agenda to find that there was no difference. In this programme I’m going to be looking at the issue from the other side of the fence, aided enormously by the thorough investigation into th...

The totally ignored constituency in the question of homosexual marriage is children. Should couples in homosexual marriages continue to have the right to adopt children, or get children through egg or sperm donation, or through surrogates. This has always assumed to be OK but is that what the scientific studies are showing. It hasn’t been something that has received any consideration by the government especially given how successful the LGBTIQ+ community has been at pushing their agenda and sile...

One of the most decisive factors on how well a child is going to do when they grow up, is what level of education they achieved. All the studies indicate that a child from a broken home has a severe handicap there. The studies also indicate that a child living in a home with its married biological parents has significant advantages over children living in other situations. I’m going to share how that works, because you might not believe me, in this programme. Coz you trust the science don’t you....
