Thank you for another Chris McGrath Classic!!!

Very insightful 👍

Chinas had their own UNCLOS....

Stunning! Hello from a former student :)

Could you help sort something out for me? I am giving a presentation on the Kyoto protocol for school, and i thought your information on the the Australia Clause and the free loading that the prime minister at the time was able to get away with was really interesting, but I wanted to get a graph and data to cite for my presentation. But when I went to the Our World in data graphs and used their Annual CO₂ emissions including land-use change map, 1990 was one of the lowest emitting years, and by 1997 Australia was nearing a 200% increase, peaking at an over 300% increase in 2010, right in the middle of the deadline period. And according to the most recent data, Australia hasn't actually hit their Kyoto Protocol goal of reaching 108% of the 1990 emissions data. So I was curious where that discrepancy is? Is "land-use change" not the right data to look at? Or what? If you do take the time to answer my question thank you so much! If not I hope you have a lovely day!

@chrismcgrath5555 Thank you!! I am in W.A. and one of my current units is Environmental Policy and Law, I have to summarize the Protection of the Sea (Prevention of Pollution from Ships) Act 1983, I had no idea where to start until I watched this lecture! Thank you for being a guiding light and explaining the evolution of international environmental regulation.

And yet the Federal Govt forgot the powers of parliament when it came to Covid… it just shows how totally corrupt politicians and laws are in Australia as govt only really act in what is beneficial to themselves.

Thank you for great lesson on Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

Thnks dr chris mcGrath

Great explanation ! Thank you so much for sharing.

This explanation is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Been trying to grasp an understanding of the system for ages. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and communicating it in terms which I was able to follow, somewhat.

We must meet the challenge

Me: you can't make environmental law interesting. McGrath: hold my beer.

Adani is 👍🏻

Ur first comment is really true in today’s scinario as well

I really appreciate your hard efforts u have put for our benifits… thanks

I thought guys with glasses were supposed to be smart

Future of your career? What future is that? We are dead men walking. We are decades beyond the point of no return. Therefore no career either. Whoever this guy is, I've never heard of him, he is definitely an idiot.

So how many promises of billions of Yuan has China ever put in the hands of those leading the climate fear mongering?........(0) and they never will

17:35 I just watched youtube on youtube... anyways great presentation! very detailed.greetings from 🇵🇭

this production quality is absolutely next level

How the High Court of Australia did not See why that new 1983 Commonwealth Act Law was snuck in for is a Insult to States Rights Issues every where. Shame on them, the Judges who turned a Blind-Eye to that and Voted to Stop the Franklin Dam made a huge error in there Judgement it near borders on Corrupt.

Strange mixture of footage here, most of it is of Canberra and her crew but there is lots of shots of Westralia crew inspecting a ship with the customs guys and Wally was off escorting Lena when Canberra picked up Volga.

The High Court should of Rejected that 1983 Commonwealth ACT Law that the Commonwealth SNUCK-IN as they should of took in account why they did that. The Real Issue was States Rights Issues and that should of over ruled the Commonwealth every time. The High Court of Australia should hang it's Head in Shame with there Dumb Ass Decision that now has Effected the Whole of Australia's Power Needs.

The lecture is really helping me understanding about Planning Law/Planning scheme. Regards from Timor Leste

Thank you for the Lecture. Please upload more.

Perfect ..👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I agree with pretty much everything said here but now let’s see a lecture on the environmental damage caused by renewable industry wind and solar farms as well as biofuel sector - because they are enormously environmentally destructive as well.

The last time you'll teach this course??? Don't close down this channel, because this is a unique repository for experiences and insights. Hope you'll add fresh lectures when you the spirit moves you.

Hi Chris, you nailed it on the title screen for this lecture... where is the urgency we have shown on Covid 19 in regard to climate change? I hope your students have the insight and guts to stand up to this apathy in their careers.

Here's the article from The Conversation that Chris refers to in this lecture (~22 min): theconversation.com/sydney-harbours-toxic-legacy-shows-value-of-green-safety-net-11197

Thanks for uploading this prof, really helping with filling in a lot of the gaps in my environmental law course with the whole covid thing going on

Thank you so much for the amazing content!

I appreciate very much that you uploaded your entire course here Dr. McGrath. Very nice presentations! I'm a Biologist with a mention in Natural Resources Management and an MSc. in Aquaculture Technology and Management. I will be doing my second MSc. in Marine Systems and Policies and I found the videos at the perfect time. Once again thank you and greetings from Nicaragua.

lovely content

Are u a teacher??

Pretty sure most council regulations are based on brown paper bags.

i want a chocolate too...

Great lecture, Chris. Keep running your ‘marathon’. Australia needs more people like you!

Dissenter needs to chime in on this one!

Lol A DAY BEFORE MY test thank you .

Thanks... very clear and usefull

Those in Canberra, Namely Abbott claims we have a responsibility to allow People in India to have Electricity supply. What utter NONSENCE. People in India have an elected Government, the same as we have here. We have no responsibility for Electricity in any other Country but our own. And Liberal's have left us in tatters with that. This mine is in the middle of The Great Artesian Bore, our most important water supply on the East Coast. Liberals see no problem risking this vital water source because the Dollar is worth more than the environment. Morrison claims Australia is meeting it's target with the Paris Agreement, Doe that include the allowance of the Adani Super Mine?, I think not. Warnings about our Barrier Reef are falling on deaf ears with these Liberal's, every one else is wrong except them. Get them out of Government, for the sake of OUR environment alone.

Thank you so much!

Thank you very much, Dr McGrath from CQU.
