Resisting Climate Hysteria

I would certainly believe Andrew Bolt.

...on the subject of polyps...


You never struck me as someone that would want Billions upon Billions of migrants from the middle east up there in Nth QLD noco, But it appears that they are on their way.... you just keep up the work cooking that reef of yours.

There are some 400 different species of corals, some of which can withstand higher water temperatures than others.
In the attached link I could not read anything about man made Global Warming affecting our corals.....They did mention matters relating to coral bleaching such as cyclones, warmer waters, predators such as the crown of thorns star fish and believe it or not the use of UV sun creams by tourists...CO2 also received a mention.
But the recent bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef occurred north of Cooktown where very few tourist inhabit.

So you completly missed these statements in that particular link Noco ? Or did you think no one would bother actually checking it out ? Or doesn't it matter what was actually said because you and Andrew Bolt are saying it's just not true ?

Above-average sea water temperatures caused by global warming have been identified as a leading cause for coral bleaching worldwide.[2

Triggers

Coral bleaching is theorized to be a generalized stress response of corals that may be caused by a number of biotic and abiotic factors, including:

increased (most commonly due to global warming) or reduced water temperatures[7][8][9][10]

While most of these triggers may result in localized bleaching events (tens to hundreds of kilometers), mass coral bleaching events occur at a regional or global scale and are triggered by periods of elevated thermal stress resulting from increased sea surface temperatures.[25] The coral reefs that are more subject to continued bleaching threats are the ones located in warm and shallow water with low water flow.

Mass bleaching events
Bleached Acropora coral (foreground) and normal colony (background), Keppel Islands, Great Barrier Reef

Most evidence indicates that elevated temperature is the cause of mass bleaching events. Sixty major episodes of coral bleaching have occurred between 1979 and 1990,[28][29] with the associated coral mortality affecting reefs in every part of the world. In 2016, the longest coral bleaching event was recorded.[30]

Well, it did mention Global warming ....The article I refer to does not mention Man Made Global Warming and that is what I mentioned..

You seem to be in a muddle over it.

 

[basilio]

So Noco there is global warming taking place (which is killing coral reefs, melting the ice caps, creating record temperatures around the world... but it isn't manmade global warming.

Must be a computer glitch or an Act of God I suppose.

Priceless...

How many times must you be told it has to do with the Sun......Go back on previous post where I hope you will take note of the activities of the Sun and how it affects on Earth.

The Great Barrier Reef is very resilient and has handled many stresses over 500,000 years.....It always recovers.

I am still waiting for you to prove to me where Andrew Bolt has given misinformation.

Yes, made your point but the burning of coal and oil are very greatly exacerbating the problem.

There are so many clean alternatives being improved everyday.

Just one; an improved battery is coming on the market soon with double the current capacity for the same weight. Your mobile phone will go twice as long or your can reduce its weight. For cars too, twice the current travel distance.

So hang on!

You're implying climate change cannot happen without human influence?

Just.

On the major changes in the past, two happened quickly due meteors and volcanic eruptions, the other three took an average of 5,000 years.

The current is very different.

Like the one that took out the Mayans?

Agree, there have been many smaller patches as with the warming in Greenland as Noco mentioned 1000 years back. The Mayan drought was punctuated as well with cultural upheaval too.

However the alarming warming at the poles is displacing moisture and now creating increased weather havoc, extreme winds, storms and floods. And droughts also wiping out some areas concurrently. The science? its now observable to those with eyes open.

We humans might not be around to see this time though. Maybe a handful of us.

And where is this extreme weather occurring?....Where are the droughts that the Alarmists keep telling us about which is supposed to be caused by man made Global Warming?...Wasn't that cry from the Alarmist for years?...Now you Greenies have reverted to storms and floods......So which is it do you now prefer to use?......perpetual droughts of rain and floods.....Or do you want 2 bob each way?

They are certainly having some adverse weather in Antarctica ATM...So bad they cannot land planes at Casey Station......One of my sons was due to fly to Casey on Oct.24.....He has been holed up in Hobart for a week or more waiting for the weather to abate.

When he finally gets to Casey, I will ask him what caused these bad conditions and get back to you....I am sure the Climate scientists down there will be able to explain.

This post is what this thread is all about, hysteria !

It's not hysteria for the people who are not rich enough to afford brick houses with A/C and running water at a flick.

Know why nobody that matters gives any thought to the impact of CC? Because whatever happens, they're too rich to be affected.

There's the limos and the nice and comfortable houses; the A/C and the filtered air and the mansion by the water for summer and a nice lodge with proper floor heating for the winter and the skis.

So for the elite, what's a few degrees or a few hurricane.

For ordinary people, particularly those in the poor countries, it's literally a matter of life and death. And that's not some exaggeration and hyperbolic bs. It's reality.

If a drought hit and they cannot sell that season's crop, they'll go bankrupt and the nice shark lenders will pay them a visit or two.

if it's a few degrees too high, their tin shed and open living mean the old and the infant will get sick and die.

I know people whose houses are literally too hot to live in during summer; houses in areas where mosquitos are freaking everywhere inside and outside.

Anyway, big deal right? Why can't they just turn on the A/C and close the doors and flyscreens.
