Purge the News, Kill the Messenger, Look the Other Way (Prevent Panic)

http://www.theguardian.com/environment/planet-oz/2016/may/30/australias-censorship-of-unesco-climate-report-is-like-a-shakespearean-tragedy


Shakespearean or Greek Tragedy?

Australia’s iconic Great Barrier Reef is clearly at risk from climate change, so why would Unesco agree to censor its own report?

... “Destinations at Risk: World Heritage and Tourism in a Changing Climate”, outlined how many world heritage sites around the world were being compromised by the impacts of climate change.


The Australian government doth protest, and Unesco obliges.

As Guardian Australia revealed... all mentions of Australia, the Great Barrier Reef, the Northern Territory’s glorious Kakadu national park and Tasmania’s forests were then removed from the Unesco climate impact report.

The coverup occurs as the reef’s worst recorded case of mass coral bleaching makes headlines around the world ...



Sophocles: "No one loves the messenger who brings bad news"... "No man delights in the bearer of bad news"

(Greek: στέργει γὰρ οὐδεὶς ἄγγελον κακῶν ἐπῶν)
