Why the Adani Mine is a Really Bad Idea

The Queensland Government have declared Adani's Carmichael coal mine 'critical infrastructure'. It's an unprecedented decision to override the community's rights to challenge this dangerous project. Here's why that's a really bad idea.

This year, China cancelled the construction of 1, 000 coal fired power plants (about 85% of them).

After listening to a couple of minutes of this video I had to go to my garage and get a pair of gum boots because there was so much crap being spewed out. From the supportive comments below its obvious that Australia is being threatened by a stupidity epidemic

If the reef will be gone due to temperature increases how do coral reefs flourish along the equator where the temperatures are higher than along the QLD coast?

so glad that people like you are going to give up all the benefits of living in an industrialised society, with no mining or extractive industries..wait a minute, your using a computer, materials for which were mined, and your glasses, the building your in .the road you travel on, everything around you..so you are going to be the shining example to us all....naked, living in a mud hut and scrabbling for grubs great, cant wait to see you do that

Lost my families vote. Dumb politicians equate to dumb decisions.

It's all too good to sit in an Air conditioned room and talk about denying electricity to people who live without power for sometimes 22 hrs in a 24 hr day. The coal mine is a legitimate purchase by a business to help it's country's citizens. Bit rich to talk about what is good or not good for a developing country without having ever setting foot in the country or knowing how people live in the country.

All the top managers will be given comisson you wont be able to stop thats how it works

[coolhunknik]

so after some years we cannot able to see reef, we only read it in books. how can australian let this happen.

[betervet]

i thought it was run off of chemicals from cane farm that was destroying the reef

[jimmihotdog]

Maybe because Fed Liberal pushed the mine in the first place

[nakitagabatel]

Beautifully summed up. We gotta SPREAD THE WORD AND THE FACTS. A huge portion of Aus don't even know what saying 'Stop Adani' means

[karenthompson]

Put both ALP & LNP last on your state voting ballot paper - spread the word of people power. Thanks Adam, great youtube clip!

What we will have at the end of the tunnel will be the start of a black and filthy forest in which we will never be able to repair. Their choice of going for easy money today will be the demise of pristine lands and loss of aqua marine life tomorrow. If the politicians insist on making revenue the choice they should make is legalising cannabis for recreational use but they refuse to acknowledge this and persist in keeping Australians in old colonial laws and expectations for their own need. We feed our indigenous people alcohol then incarcerate them but we cause this from the start,  our white colonial ways will never change until we get a sensible Govt. in place who can see the logic and common sense of these barbaric laws and change them. Every day hundreds of people die from alcohol but this white mans poison is available in all sorts of colours and strength to make you sick and shorten your life but our blind and ignorant leaders repetitively turn their backs on reality and the truth. It would be a blessing to have a leader like Justin Trudeau to make this Country a lucky Country again, out with the old and in with the new.

What's your solution? Solar 😂 wind 💨
You're dreaming
I hope you filmed this under lights powered by solar. I'm sure you ride a bike as transportation too.
Jumping up and down and throwing a tantrum won't do anything for humanity. And the thousands of people protesting aren't willing to give up their lifestyle for the reef.

[melwin]

the coal used by Indians is of much lower calorific value than what exists in Queensland so if the regular locally found low cal value coal is used it causes much more pollution than what will happen if the ausi coal is used. pls try to understand tat at least this time adani is right and helps to save your reefs

American just was called out for this.... and by this i mean being the stupidest planet on earth sorry to offend some of you and this has nothing to do with this video.
