But but but global warming was supposedly killing all the coral
Butt...butt....butt... what about glowball warming?
But But But Global Warming............
Lets see if I can spins this.
People dying from cones snails massively increases, caused by climate change.
Shark Attacks increase, caused by climate change. Increased corals means increased visitors means increased shark attacks.
My favorite "save the world" story is watching them release a baby seal that they had rescued. The seal had a monitor on so they could track it. Less than a minute after the release...you heard a "munch" and the monitor went silent. Probably cost the taxpayers 50 thou...
Nope, un-possible the boiling oceans killed all the coral.
See? If you tax people to death, the climate will be perfect and there will be rainbows every evening. We can all run around naked, stomp grapes and pick fruit from the trees that will grow everywhere.
Wondered why they stopped talking about the Great Barrier Reef , LOL
Another factor for the growth might be less ocean pollution. Although a decline from Chinese and other Asian industrial nations might not be occurring, ocean going shipping that previously discharged untreated waste directly to the ocean are required to have closed systems to enter US ports.
I dove there in ‘95.
I saw NO evidence of “Coral Bleaching” or unhealthy reefs.
That old codger David Attenborough who narrates all those nature documentaries always brings up “climate change” and how the GBR and polar bears are being decimated. No facts presented of course.
