There is no scientific proof using actual science that Mankind is mostly/solely responsible for the current warm period. In fact, CO2 is a minor greenhouse gas which trends up after temperatures go up. Regardless, Warmists will continue to attempt to scaremonger, even without evidence of what happened during previous warm periods, because this is what they do
Finding Nemo could be harder due to global warming
The clownfish, made world-famous by lovable Nemo, could be harder to find because of global warming, according to a new study published Tuesday.
While coral bleaching is a well-known result of unusually warm ocean water, it turns out that sea anemones can also be bleached, which in turn affects the clownfish that live in and around the anemones.
In fact, the fish show much higher stress levels and a dramatic decrease in offspring — as much as 73% less — when their home sea anemones are bleached in warmer waters, the study found.
“While no effects on adult anemone survival were observed, the effects of bleaching on reproduction and population demography were likely even greater than demonstrated here,” study lead author Suzanne Mills of the French university Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes told the Daily Mail.
She added that the finding is alarming, since man-made stressors and the rate of change in environmental conditions are expected to multiply in the coming decades, “with bleaching and habitat degradation becoming more frequent.”
Read that again. They are extrapolating, ah, hell, making prognostications of future doom with little evidence, along with assigning Blame, with little data and admitting there are no real effects. This is a political document, not a scientific one.
Using the natural El Niño warming phenomenon as a stand-in for what future man-made warming might bring, researchers visited 13 pairs of clownfish and their host anemones in the coral reefs near Moorea Island in French Polynesia from October 2015 to December 2016.
First, how do we know this did not happen throughout previous Holocene warm periods? Second, they are using what is a naturally occurring event to Blamestorm their Belief in what Mankind is doing. The bleaching of coral in Australia for a few years is mentioned. How’d that turn out? Nature is, let’s call it, un-bleaching the coral. This is all just typical Cult of Climastrology fearmongering, now using a kids’ favorite.

It’s a “political” document because you dislike the results.
The scientists found that the bleaching of sea anemones from ocean warming resulted in reduced reproduction in resident clownfish, which correlated with increased plasma cortisol (a stress glucocorticoid) and decreased sex steroids associated with the reproductive cycle.
Do you quibble with their sample size? The control group from an ocean region not warmed by ENSO? The conclusion that ocean warming will likely lead to further impacts on clownfish biology?
