New Information Demonstrates Why Alarmist Scientists Can Not Be Trusted

 

“We’ve got him now!!!”

I’ve often stated, given enough time alarmists will talk themselves into a circle of fail.  They’ve done it again.  Yesterday, Latitude posted a couple of links.  One had this to say….. Ocean warming drives coral growth rates in Western Australia  This states,

Both rising ocean temperatures and ocean acidification pose serious long-term threats to coral reefs, but findings recently published in the prestigious scientific journal, Science, have helped clarify the relative impact of these two threats to date.

Then we have this…… Scientists say WA reef growth unsustainable  which states….

New research has found some coral reefs in the Indian Ocean are growing at an unsustainable rate due to warming water temperatures.  The Australian Institute of Marine Science says the most southerly reefs on the West Australian coast, have increased their growth rates by up to 23 per cent.  Principal research scientist, Janice Lough, says that’s not sustainable.  “Corals are already responding rapidly to the environmental changes that we’re imposing upon them.  “When you get unusually warm waters you can get coral bleaching events, that’s one threshold corals can reach if the water temperatures continue to warm.  “There will be a threshold beyond which the corals are not happy with and they’ll just slow their growth down.”

Ok, so warming waters causes the corals to grow at an unsustainable rate.  But, once the corals get too big, they’ll just slow their growth rate.  Here is the  abstract to the study behind the story.  So far, so good.  But, what about this coral bleaching?  It seems I recall something about that in some science journal or another…… Ahh, yes, here we see where warmer oceans leads to coral bleaching and creates massive die-offs.  Here for the Indian ocean, and here is a “World Climate Report” which explains,

The heat affects the tiny algae which live symbiotically inside the corals and supply them with food. The heat stress damages the algae and in consequence leads to coral death.

Okay, so warm temps lead to coral growth which is unsustainable.  But, it also kills our corals, even though it causes them to grow.  But, that’s not even all the story……  CO2 is going to cause ocean acidification which will kill our corals…… Ocean acidification is thought to occur because of the increase of atmospheric CO2.  The oceans absorb the CO2 which decreases its pH level.  Except, warmer ocean water out-gases, or releases CO2 to the atmosphere.  In fact, New Scientist says this is happening quicker than we thought!  So, as the oceans are outgassing CO2 it is becoming acidic because of their CO2 uptake…..   BTW, all of this talk of the oceans hotting up……. Here’s Hadley’s SST’s for both the NH and SH.

Sigh, the Southern Hemisphere’s SSTs haven’t trended different for over 15 years and the Northern hasn’t for over 10 years.

Every imbecilic uttering from the climate catastrophic sophists has been contradicted by themselves!  Their circular babbling doesn’t just indicate they are talking out of both sides of their mouth, but they are talking out of more than one orifice!  There is absolutely no compelling reason to listen to these maniacs any further.  They don’t know what they’re talking about and their simplistic views of Nature doesn’t allow for intellectual expansion.   

Change naturally occurs and change leads to more change.  This earth has never been in a static state.  Nor is the idealized static state preferred.  Humans, like all things of this earth, are part of the dynamic processes of this earth.  The babbling baboons, the climate catastrophists, much like the Keystone cops, comedic clowns of theater, have fallen into a heap from running around trying in vain to catch an imaginary villain.  With their eyes other than where they need to be, they run headlong into each other.
