Global Warming, er Climate Change is a National Security Threat

Quote:Lol, you're killing me, Malabar! The bleaching of the Great Barrier reef has more to do with farm runoff than rising temperatures. Temperatures do affect this, and it has been warmer than usual because of El Nino, but the temperatures are not records. According to my Google search, the water temperature in Hawaii during the bleaching there was 80F. I've snorkeled in much warmer waters with unbleached corals many times. Maybe the corals around Hawaii are of a species that is particularly sensitive to temperature. Or maybe warming was not the cause there either. The measured warming is higher in the Arctic, and in the Northern Hemisphere. In the tropics it's negligible. We're talking about a global average of less than 1 degree, and Siberia accounts for most of that. How many of your friends die when the temperature goes from 79 to 80? Even using NOAA's highly exaggerated warming you can see that the area of the Great Barrier reef is in the lowest warming color. http://www.arctic.noaa.gov/detect/global-temps.shtml Don't believe me. But don't believe people who profit from spreading alarm. Look at the data yourself. "Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?" |
