Description
On today's show, Dr Peter Ridd discusses Off shore wind farms and environmental damage.
GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Billy Te Kahika Jr, is a New Zealand Māori, international blues guitarist, businessman and former political candidate. Te Kahika attracted national and international media coverage both as the leader of the New Zealand Public Party and for his stance on the New Zealand Government's lockdown restrictions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Harassed by the New Zealand Government & media for his views, he is a family man and pastor and civil liberties defender.
GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: Dr Peter Ridd is a geophysicist with over 100 publications and 35 years’ experience working on the Great Barrier Reef and developed a wide range of world-first optical and electronic instruments for measuring environmental conditions near corals and other ecosystems. He was head of Physics at James Cook University for over a decade before being fired, in 2018, for questioning the quality assurance systems used by reef science institutions. Some of the poor-quality work relates to the effect, or lack of effect, of climate change, and agriculture, on the reef. Dr Ridd now works, unpaid, with agricultural organisations, and the Institute of Public Affairs to improve quality assurance systems of “science” used by Australian governments to make environmental laws and regulations.
