The Climate Cult has a lot of canaries in its coal mine. Rain, snow, no rain, no snow, glaciers (growing and melting), sea level (rising or not), and let’s not forget increased storms and the decline of coral reefs. To those last two points, the Cult has fresh trouble.
Despite rising CO2™ that likely has nothing to do with you, Cyclones in the Australian region have not been more frequent or severe—quite the opposite.
I added a not-mathematically-exact trend line to emphasize the conspicuous decline in cyclone energy in defiance of all the high sticking over atmospheric carbon dioxide and perennial exclamations about the hottest month or year ever.
The Coral Of The Story Is …
The end of ocean coral, like glaciers and snow, is another bugbear of the climate left, the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) being the mothership or posterchild for this hyperbolic venting. But the GBR has been rapidly growing new coral since at least 2012 (The hottest year ever!), and it has not stopped.
The Australian Institute of Marine Science recently published a piece titled, ‘Highest Coral Cover in Central Norther Reef in 36 years,’ which is almost as long a period in time as AlGore Global Warming. Imagine their chagrin – if there were even capable of it. Since their caterwauling began, there has been more CO2, heat (somewhere), and coral.
Dammit, Jim (Hansen), I’m a fat masseuse fondling politician, not a scientist.
Add it to the rising sea of predictions they got wrong.
Both linked pieces, by the by, are from organs of the Australian Government or pretend NGOs and rely on them for outrage funding, so you’ll find plenty of hedging from ‘scientists’ grown alongside the coral to think they are only grant-worthy if everything is couched in end-times Book of Revelations exhortations. This is doing the opposite of what we said, but over here, OMG! – the world is ending – we need more funding!
When can the Climate gods rapture them to the climate-controlled utopian progressive paradise? Not soon enough. And there are still trillions of other people’s hard-earned Australian dollars to launder on wasteful climate research doing business as science, and not just down under. It is money they need, not to do science but message control to silence those who dare to question their methods, motivations, and conclusions – you know, actual science.
Cyclones, I am “read” to believe, can do a lot of damage to coral reefs, but since cyclones show no connection to your rising CO2 climate paradigm, it looks disturbingly natural and not at all man-made.
By the way – the spleen-venting climate Pharisees that read the runes or bones or entrails have predicted a milder-than-usual Atlantic Hurricane season for 2023, so we should expect it to be one of the worst years on record (global warming!).
