"In the northern and central stretches of the Great Barrier Reef, scientists have recorded the most extensive coral cover seen in 36 years of study, according to a new report from the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS).

Researchers tracked hard coral across 87 reefs along the coast of Queensland from August 2021 to May 2022, finding that coral cover reached 36 percent in the northern third of the reef and 33 percent in the central third, up from 27 percent and 26 percent, respectively, the prior year."

Meanwhile, you and lots of other MAGAs are sitting on your fat asses in your house running up your air conditioning bills because summers are increasingly hot and stretches of triple digit temperatures are becoming the norm

The U.S.? ... that's called "weather". :palm:

And comparing satellite data to proxy data is totally unscientific. Which is what you Algorians do. :palm:

Furthermore, for 10,000 years, sea level NATURALLY rose at the rate of 4 ft. per century. By comparison, the Holocene epoch warming is a drop in the bucket. You should educate yourself instead of parroting talking heads like Thunberg and Gore, birdbrain.

When temps start hitting 100F in June through September across the lower tier of the USA, they'll just blame the Democrats. :thup:

FWIW, I blame Al Gore for the Information Highway which allowed any fucking moron with a computer to log onto the Internet and post opinions pulled out of their asses.

Examples of why I support people having to pass an annual exam and a license to have unlimited access to the Internet:
We get lied to constantly now, but we need to start with the current alleged situation compared to the historical....in detail.

You've been denying global warming since the 1990s, and it's only your massive ego that prevents you from confessing you were wrong

The hard core deniers will never admit they were wrong about global warming.

Notice that Trumpers never, ever admit error nor take responsibility for their actions. They are truly complete fucking morons without no honor much less common sense.

Really? ... Trillions spent, ... and by how many degrees have you climate changers reduced current or future temperatures? :dunno:

Florida’s coral reefs are facing what could be an unprecedented threat from a marine heat wave that is warming the Gulf of Mexico, pushing water temperatures into the 90s.

The biggest concern for coral isn’t just the current sea surface temperatures in the Florida Keys, even though they are the hottest on record. The daily average surface temperature off the Keys on Monday was just over 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32.4 Celsius), according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The real worry, scientists say, is that it’s only July. Corals typically experience the most heat stress in August and September.

We’re entering uncharted territories,” said Derek Manzello, an ecologist and the coordinator of NOAA’s Coral Reef Watch program.

Coral reefs are natural wonders that support myriad species and blunt damage from storms. In the United States, reefs generate economic benefits to the tune of $3.4 billion annually for fisheries, tourism and coastal protection, according to NOAA.


Marine heat isn’t just affecting the Gulf of Mexico. Globally, about 40% of the planet is experiencing a marine heat wave, according to Dillon Amaya, a physical scientist at NOAA who studies them.

“Florida is one patch in a terrible quilt right now,” Amaya said.

In Key West, beachgoers expressed surprise at the warmth of the ocean, comparing it to bath water.

And warm water fuels hurricanes. But keep denying global warming.

The warnings are echoing through the drenched mountains of Vermont, where two months of rain just fell in only two days. India and Japan were deluged by extreme flooding.


They’re shrilling from the scorching streets of Texas, Florida, Spain and China, with a severe heat wave also building in Phoenix and the Southwest in coming days.

They’re burbling up from the oceans, where temperatures have surged to levels considered “beyond extreme.”

And they’re showing up in unprecedented, still-burning wildfires in Canada that have sent plumes of dangerous smoke into the United States.

I’m sitting here in my nice, air conditioned office in South Florida. It’s 95 degrees outside and a torrential thunderstorm is raging. The SST is 87.3 degrees (1.5-2.0 degrees above average for July). Since you leftards have started your annual Aestophobia hissy fit, I have been keeping a casual count of the number of electric vehicles I see during my 45 mile commute to and from work.

The average was about 14 teslas, 1 electric Jeep, and 2 “mustang” Mach E’s (which, as a 2 time Mustang GT owner, makes me physically ill). And still, when I got home yesterday, the power was off in my community! Why! According to you morons, this kind of shit wasn’t supposed to happen with all this new electric crap. Hell, it should be a balmy 80 degrees without a cloud in the sky. Save your fucking electric cars and shit for the winter and get yourselves a damn moped for the summer. Otherwise, live with it.

And if it is to be, when you’re living underground with your grandchildren and they ask you why the seas are on fire, you can blame Trump and the GOP. But you better have a good answer when they ask what you did to stop them. I doubt that “we bitched and moaned and protested, and even threw trillions of dollars at it” is going to satisfy them.
