Good news ping!
We are going to live!!!!
Just like those spotted owls.
When I was in the Keys last year, the reefs had not only “recovered” but were spawning.
Next thing yer gonn'a try to cram down our throats is that oil is not dead dinosaurs but ... a product unto itself produced from within earth's molten core ... yeah ... right.
FCR!
There are more important things in this world than Coral Reefs for mankind to survive.
FRC!
Bad science grows like weeds. Pull one up, ten more grow. And there is always someone like Ove Hoegh-Guldberg around to lead the charge.
Good Reef, Charlie Brown!
In otherwords, the reef grew faster than expected for ten years in a row from a severe metrological event. If, as the climate change trend suggests, we start to see coral bleaching...
Uh, the trend was one event and ten years of spontainous rapid growth. The "trend" was NON-Bleaching!
By preventing illegal fishing...
Obviously these idiots never spent any time diving, as fish EAT Coral. I really have come to believe that those who refuse reality and make up make believe worlds to excuse making laws against people are passive Psycopaths. They may not pick up an axe to murder people, but they spend their lives picking up pens to do the same thing.
Good news indeed!
Wifey wants to do another Caribbean cruise, I enjoy snorkeling.. St maarten, St Thomas’s St john, caaymans and Cancun and Hawaii ,, damn near drown and got sick as a dog one time,, ear plugs might have helped. :-)
I had a talk with a friend down in Key West regarding coral reefs. Mel was extracting wrecked Spanish galeons and found some of the ship parts were under three feet of coral, solid coral.
So, did the ship hit the reef so hard that it came to rest three feet deep beneath solid coral? Or did the coral grow over it? Remember, all you lurking Libtards, that coral IS harder than wood.
Time’s up! All who guessed the coral grew over the ships guessed right.
Now, consider that coral can lay down a foot of solid reef in 100 years. The Plate Fleet, and others like it, was lost about 300 years ago - and have proportionate amounts of coral over parts of them.
Bleaching is a naturally occurring and recurring event. If corals were any slight bit as fragile as enviro-commies claim, they would have gone extinct long ago.
