The article says the corals are regrowing in the period between heat waves, not that the coral reefs will survive global warming - or that temperatures are improving.
Go ahead and tell Greta. Or tell the people who keep grasping by their fingernails for tiny instances where global warming isn’t as bad as it could be, they’re the ones who need it.
- nerdponx 7y agoUnfortunately this doesn't do anything for the people who believe that global warming is a geoengineered conspiracy, rather than the result of carbon emissions by industry.
- gmuslera 7y agoThey should learn about Hanlon's Razor. Anyway, the denialism movement could be described as a socialengineered conspiracy, and that part is pure malice.
- nerdponx 7y agoSadly it's the left-wing hippie version of the climate change denialism. Some choice quotes, in case you weren't aware of this weird and fascinating movement, which descended from Chemtrails-ism, demonstrating the truly bizarre cognitive dissonance involved: - "The earth is way too big for industry to affect the climate" - "The government has much more advanced technology than they will ever admit" - "There is no consensus among climate scientists that carbon can cause climate change" - "The media is lying to you, only a small vocal minority of climate scientists thinks that climate change is due to carbon emissions" - "This guy on Youtube is a climate scientist and he says HAARP can modify the weather! Why should I trust you and not a climate scientist? Why would this person lie?" The funny thing is that these people are typically hard-core environmentalists.
