This makes sense. But surely they understand that, even if Australia went carbon neutral tomorrow, it would not be enough to cool the reef waters?

Yeah sure, there is too much momentum in current climate changes for Australian policy to turn it around. But the argument that Australian emissions are tiny in comparison to US, India or China so we don't need to be a part of the global solution falls flat for me. If we can punch above our weight in trade or diplomatic spheres, surely we can do the same in climate-mitigation areas.

Where do you see resistance to these mitigation attempts like cloud brightening?
