Apparently, the Doomsday Cult of Climastrology is back to pimping doom for all corals, because their apocalyptic ideas are never shelved for long
Climate change could kill all of Earth’s coral reefs by 2100, scientists warn
Climate change could destroy almost all of Earth’s coral reef habitats by 2100, according to new research.
About 70-90% of all existing coral reefs are expected to disappear in the next 20 years due to warming oceans, acidic water and pollution, said scientists from the University of Hawaii Manoa, who presented their findings Monday at an ocean sciences conference.
“By 2100, it’s looking quite grim,” said Renee Setter, one of the University of Hawaii Manoa researchers, in a press release. (snip)
After examining the world’s oceans, they reached a somber conclusion: “By 2100, few to zero suitable coral habitats will remain.”
Most parts of the ocean where coral reefs live today won’t be suitable by 2045 — and the health and condition of these environments are only likely to get worse by 2100, according to the team’s simulations.
There’s plenty more doom in the screed, but, hey, we can fix this all with a tax and government controlling your life, right?
Obviously, I’m no scientist, but, I can read, and, perhaps these scientists and those writing the doomsday articles can explain why corals, which developed when seas where much warmer and the levels much higher. And that corals like warm water. And that this is all based on computer models and apocalyptic thinking, which is what the CoC is best at.
“Trying to clean up the beaches is great and trying to combat pollution is fantastic. We need to continue those efforts,” Setter said in the release. “But at the end of the day, fighting climate change is really what we need to be advocating for in order to protect corals and avoid compounded stressors.”
Yup, that’s the talk of a cult.
We’ve heard this all before. We’ve even heard that some coral reefs were already dead and to never recover, only to be thriving and growing a few scant years later.
These reefs and the corals have survived millions of years, through much hotter temps, through much higher CO2 levels and yet still survive and thrive. All without the help of humans with delusions of grandeur.
