Brisbane was the most interesting presentation. A prominent consumer of grant money for coral reef “research” waited patiently through our presentations and then was one of the first to ask a question while being photographed by an acolyte he had brought along for that purpose. I amused the audience by using a question about Henry’s Law to make the observation, paraphrasing Samuel Johnson, that ocean acidification is the last refuge of the global warming scoundrel. We had two lots of protestors that night picketing the entrance. We got a standing ovation in Emerald. In Adelaide, one of the audience had driven eleven hours across South Australia, from west of Ceduna, to attend.
