That isn't a problem either. It is tautologically true that if corals experience a natural die-off, and then you look at it soon after, the species you mostly see will be the ones that grow the fastest. The other slower growing species will appear more later. The actual problem here is that reef scientists didn't predict the current levels of the GBR. They strongly predicted the opposite, saying that after the last bleaching in ~2020 it could take a decade to recover. Nor is ocean acidification a thing anymore. That theory was debunked years ago, by the founder of Greenpeace no less: https://www.climatedepot.com/2015/06/24/greenpeace-co-founder-dr-patrick-moore-why-coral-reefs-shellfish-will-not-die-from-ocean-acidification/ https://www.climatedepot.com/2015/06/24/greenpeace-co-founde... That's why you hardly hear about it anymore. Better understanding of corals made it clear there's no real problem there. The reefs are millions of years old. Academic study of them is only about 40 years old. They have no clue what they're talking about and this was just proven in the most dramatic way possible: a prediction with near 100% confidence that was proven utterly wrong within <2 years of it being made. You can see why they have been making such predictions when you look at a graph of their dataset: https://dailysceptic.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/coral.png https://dailysceptic.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/coral.pn... Up until about 2010 the level of coral cover was in slow decline. But 1980-2010 is a tiny slice of the history of the corals, and when growth suddenly reversed in 2015 and 2020, reaching record levels, they were taken entirely by surprise. This is what happens when academics extrapolate from tiny datasets in order to drum up funding. Allowing these people to screw with the Earth via geo-engineering, to solve problems that only exist in their minds, would take climate extremism to a whole other level and make the culture war surrounding it way, way hotter. It's just not worth it. They should leave the reefs to do their thing.
