That's the Sky News framing of his dismissal.
He was dismissed for misconduct towards other peer researchers, he beat that up on Sky News, initially won an unfair dismissal case and then lost on appeal.
He did claim that coral recovery after a mass bleaching had come back better than ever, the reality was that recovery was good but at the tally up things were still worse than before.
