World's coral reefs succumbing to global warming

And that's why the left love it so. It means that all of us icky-poo conservative redneck bubba sinners will die painfully and leave them, who are the righteous social justice warriors and so much more deserving of all the goodies in life that somebody else paid for, in charge.


Careful.

Global warming = 100% bullshit

Something is causing those fires, too many humans sucking too much fresh water from nature, a "Stage 1" of human overpopulation.

The Amazon had a fire in the past few years. Why?

Take 100 latinos, watch them all have 10 kids for 10 generations. How many Latinos are there sucking water from the Amazon and hoarding to our border?

Muslims and Latinos are the ones doing 10 kids per couple. They are not "terrorists" but they are "the problem."
 
For those who have been claiming there have been no untoward effects.

Doesn't matter what the effects are. I don't need coral. Coral is being preserved. The Earth will do what the Earth will do. When will you get it through your thick skull that even if man is contributing in a small way, MAN IS PART OF THE PLAN OF NATURE!

99% of everything that ever was is extinct now, always being changed and replaced. Given appropriate time, technological advances may help, but to force it in the short run irregardless of the detriment and damage to human civilization is insanity.

The great Barrier reef is making a comeback.
 
They do to me and that’s all that matters.
Well said. Our beliefs and experiences are who we are, and the Left tries to shut it down, not let us speak. The problem with that is then people continue to think as they do, but nobody else knows ---- until a big upset, such as the surprise election of Trump. Or an unexpected revolution.

That's it! People don't have perspective. We've been here only a few thousand years, as a creature that builds towns and does agriculture. The amount of time all the other organisms have been here -- dinosaurs for millions of years -- is so great that I doubt "Earth" has noticed us yet. Many seem to view us as aliens, not part of the Earth: they talk about us and Nature as if we were separate.

They talk about "saving the Earth" as if anybody needs to: no matter what, Earth will go on spinning. And there will be life, as ever. It just won't be human life. Earth won't notice, or care.

I can't say that quite loudly enough. I have the greatest possible amount of disdain for those who refuse to see this. They are the ones who want to kill off >90% of the population of the planet, or their lackeys.
 
Man IS part of Nature...the left wants it not to be so. Get rid of most of us pesky human consumers and they have all the resources to themselves...and a lot of third world types who even as servants will live better than they would in their own third world shitholes countries. and they'll be so grateful too. Not like these pesky american ingrates who will not bow to leftist superiority.

Ocean warming threatens to wipe out corals, but scientists are trying to protect naturally resilient reefs and are nursing some others back to health.

Abstract​

Global change causes widespread decline of coral reefs. In order to counter the anticipated disappearance of coral reefs by the end of this century, many initiatives are emerging, including creation of marine protected areas (MPAs), reef restoration projects, and assisted evolution initiatives. Such efforts, although critically important, are locally constrained. We propose to build a “Noah's Ark” biological repository for corals that taps into the network of the world’s public aquaria and coral reef scientists. Public aquaria will serve not only as a reservoir for the purpose of conservation, restoration, and research of reef-building corals but also as a laboratory for the implementation of operations for the selection of stress-resilient and resistant genotypes. The proposed project will provide a global dimension to coral reef education and protection as a result of the involvement of a network of public and private aquaria.
 

Missing the Reef for the Corals: Unexpected Trends Between Coral Reef Condition and the Environment at the Ecosystem Scale​

It is incontrovertible that many coral reefs are in various stages of decline and may be unable to withstand the effects of global climate change, jeopardizing vital ecosystem goods and services to hundreds of millions of people around the world. An estimated 50% of the world's corals have already been lost, and those remaining may be lost by 2030 under the “business as usual” CO2 emissions scenario. However, the foundation of these predictions is a surprisingly sparse dataset, wherein ~0.01–0.1% of the world's reef area has been quantitatively surveyed. Further, the available data comprise observations at the 1–10 m scale, which are not evenly spaced across reefs, but often clustered in areas representing focused survey effort. This impedes modeling and predicting the impact of a changing environment at the ecosystem scale. Here we highlight deficiencies in our current understanding of the relationship between coral reefs and their environments. Specifically, we conduct a meta-analysis using estimates of coral cover from a variety of local surveys, quantitatively relating reef condition to a suite of biogeophysical forcing parameters. We find that readily available public data for coral cover exhibit unexpected trends (e.g., a positive correlation between coral cover and multi-year cumulative thermal stress), contrary to prevailing scientific expectations. We illustrate a significant gap in our current understanding, and thereby prediction, of coral reefs at the ecosystem scale that can only be remedied with uniform, high-density data across vast coral reef regions, such as that from remote sensing.

 
They survive the transition from winter to summer but an imaginary 1C increase over 100 years kills them?
 
For those who have been claiming there have been no untoward effects. Let's talk about what effects a large loss of the world's coral will have on marine life and those who depend on it for food and coastal shelter.


From the NY Times & the UK Guardian; sounds great. If someone else posted a fact check from the American Thinker and the National Review that it would prove to me that this side issue was controversial --along w/ sea levels rising and ice caps melting. My thinking is that your take would be we got the truth followed by falsehood.
 
Is no one here capable of following the links to the published study available in both articles?
 
"The largest analysis of coral reefs ever undertaken"? What does that tell you? It tells you that no other analysis of it's kind has ever been taken. The Global Warming "scientists" are like autistic kids who are focused on a single subject. They have an agenda and no other data gets in the way. It should be noted that WW2 dumped hundreds of millions of tons of haz-mat junk in the oceans that is just now percolating from rotting sunken ships. The U.S. alone exploded hundreds of atomic bombs in tests on coral reefs in the Pacific rendering islands uninhabitable to this day. Did global warming "scientists" take this stuff into consideration before they blamed mostly the U.S. in an ongoing extortion scheme that they call man Made Global Warming?
