  6. New analysis at Murujuga finds the rain isn’t acidic and rock surface pH tracks rainfall, not emissions. The damage signal sits in the weathered rind, and points to sulfur peaks from the 1970s. #RockArt #Murujuga #Archaeology anthropology.net/p/murujugas-r

  7. The Guardian: Trump’s border wall construction threatens rock art as old as the pyramids: ‘The ancestors are still here’. “The impending construction also threatens to mar or destroy an untold number of these millennia-old rock art murals that stand in the coming wall’s path. The slated construction includes 165 miles (266km) of four-to-six-foot-tall vehicle barriers and patrol roads […]

  9. What climate pollution?
    The UN to ensure Australian compliance with international law
    The right to a healthy environment as mandated by international law

    "A UN special rapporteur has intervened in Australia's decision to extend Woodside's North West Shelf gas project by another 40 years. Australia did not adequately consider the climate impacts of extending its largest gas project, an independent United Nations expert has told the Federal Court."

    "We are living a triple planetary crisis, not only climate change, but also biodiversity loss and toxic pollution...The project's emissions — the third-highest in Australia — were likely causing irreversible damage to the World Heritage site, Murujuga, home to some of the world's oldest known rock carvings."

    "As recently as last month, Australia was one of 141 countries to endorse a landmark resolution by the International Court of Justice, which found that states had a legal imperative to consider climate in their environmental impact assessments." >>

  11. Murujuga petroglyphs - putting a "very rosy spin" on the scientific findings

    "Federal Environment Minister Murray Watt was advised emissions from Woodside's Karratha Gas Plant may be having an adverse effect on the rock art, before he granted the company an extension to keep operating there for another 40 years."

    "A top statistician says he quit a landmark study into whether heavy industry is damaging ancient rock art in Western Australia's north after the government misrepresented his team's key finding. Misstating the results of an expensive scientific investigation is unacceptable and I think that's what's happened."
