The beauty and wonder of the natural world is what keeps scientists like Dana Bergstrom fighting to protect it. She's one of many who say speaking out comes at a cost but not speaking up can take an even greater personal toll.
Surprise pikachu the country that sells coal to the world wants to suppress information about the ‘side effects’ of its key export product. Seriously though, Australia is only wealthy because of the abundance of resources within our country - that’s why we often refer to ourselves as the lucky country. I live in a state where the majority of the black coal is (the one that you burn for power rather than steel). We get mining royalties from the companies that extract the coal and sell it. When the price of coal went up a few years ago our state government raised mining royalties in line with this. The fossil fuel industry has been attacking our state government ever since. There have been attack ads playing on TV about this for almost 3 years now. These fuckers don’t play around and will fight tooth and nail to maintain their power.
