Perfect rebuttal with zero emotion, just stating the facts and highlighting what a brainwashed little lemming he is. Well played sir. And well done on standing up to the thugs in the media and academia who are unethical and dishonest.

I always get my reef science from a comedian..great response..

Classy reply. Good job on keeping it respectful and focussing on the issue.

Was just going to comment the level of class in this video as simply stupendous.

We've been hearing the reef is doomed for decades now. By my calculations it should of been gone 3 times over by now.

Lord I do love Peter Ridd! A proper scientist to the back teeth.

100% Credits to you Dr Peter Ridd PhD. > "Seek not the favour of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them." -- Immanuel Kant

I bet he'll see this but will choose to ignore it.

Thanks for setting the record straight Peter, jordy got conned big time,he become a useful idiot for the corrupt, lining their own pockets pushing reef hysteria. He is totally oblivious to your knowledge and the good you’ve done for the reef and all Australians. Will he apologise for spewing lies about you ? Will he take up your offer to show him how healthy the reef is ? If he really is a genuine person it would be easy for him to accept your invitation and correct his error.

Is he a useful idiot? Or is that his listeners?

Perhaps Batman is actually the Boy Wonder in disguise.

Aww we love it when a paid lobbyist lies about the environment

Jordies is probably one of the better "journalists" in this country. That alone tells you everything wrong with Australia. Good video.

Well said Peter...... but you were way too polite to the upstart.

Shanks wouldn't know shit from clay.

Dr Ridd, love your work. and i will always watch eceleb call outs. :P

Because "comedian's" are every thinking person's reliable source for scientific information... 😂.

Take that Shanks

The Riddler Strikes. 😄

Jordy coming out talking about 500k year old coral is a laugh. I wonder how much he knows about sea level changes over the last 50k years, let alone 500k years.

Almost like he made that bit up. Yet he sees himself as the person to critique Ridd

It is really good news to hear that the reefs are in good shape. Your voice is very important for those of us who are waking up to the lies and fear mongering so prevalent in main steam media narratives. The real question here is, what are the motives of the people who are initiating the narratives and lies.

Peter Ridd explained that early in the video ...... money. Millions & millions in grants i.e. taxpayers money. After all the doomsaying from scientists on the gravy train at JCU that Ridd spoke out against Malcolm Turnbull made a Captains call & gave nearly $500 million without due diligence & scrutiny to the Great Barrier Reef Foundation .... a company set up by ex-corporate executives with no expertise on the GBR. That's just one example. Bought science is big business.

Money.

Weirdest opener ever. It's very "Look, I'm just like you!" and forced

Nice logical defence of your argument Dr Ridd .

LOL Jordy is a shock jock wannabe....... Peter keep up the good work all of us who live in and have grown up in the eastern parts of Nth Qld could easily educate a city living wannabe any time. I have a nephew who was told in school that the sugar industry was to blame for reef destruction. When he challenged and asked for proof well you know it was time to talk about home ec at that point....

Nice response Peter. Sounds like Jordy watches cartoons instead of researching.

Bing Bong

2017 I worked with a bloke that dives on the reef in his down time & also had a part-time gig diving for a Recovery mob. I asked him about this dieing Reef. His answer seems to align with this, areas die, & come back. He could take me to an area with dead coral, and another that had dead coral 10 years earlier, said the area with regrowth coral was indistinguishable from areas that had never had die back.

Did you have two cameras set up for this?

Brilliant video!

Funny? Wow, that is probably one of the worst takes I've ever heard you take... not that you all that many. Shanks is a bit of a labor fanboy, especially with the last name so close to one of his heros ... Kevin Rudd or the Dudd, the names write themselves it seems (or at least anyone can do it).

Great response! A link to the original video would've been nice though 🙂

Even I can debunk Old Mate Geordies version, would take him a second to do it himself.. who cares how things are funded. It matters whether it is true. Geordie seems to prefer politics

Bravo Riddler!

Poor Jordies

Jordan is not funny. He is a just rude . Not a great example for our country.

Jordies a Labor luvvie, clearly gets most things wrong.

Think he's a bit of labour after years of yelling they'll save us all. Rather enjoyed his videos until he hits the 'the solution is labor' part.. Now the 'solution' has arrived but the problems have only gotten worse he changed his tune a bit I believe

Don't get Jordie's humour ... its only using dumb voices to highlight his too obvious sarcasm. Its like at our primary school playground

Honestly, not sure why you would like his content. I don’t find racism to be very funny. Content he posted when he first created his channel was racist content mocking a Turkish student Yilmaz he went go school with. Then he hit the headlines with more racism, unsurprisingly. You only need to take one look at him to see that fetid sense of white entitlement. Gross.
