Pure Al Gore type BS.

The little presentation defeats its own argument. How? It uses today as a
baseline of how different things were in past years than they are today. It
assumes that today's baseline is abnormal and yesterday's is normal.
Further, it selects images from today vs. images of yesterday selected
specifically to show great differences. Photos of large game fish vs. photos
of smaller fish. Sparse reefs vs. teaming reefs. Were there no pictures of
people holding up smaller fish in years past? No pictures of sparse reefs?
Certainly there were so why didn't they select those photos? It's because
those photos would not further their agenda. It's all about agenda and any
intelligent person should realize that. Pictures lie!

Things change. That's the only true baseline. This is also where human
caused global warming can be shown to be such a sham. It assumes today's
baseline is abnormal because it differs from some pre-selected past
baseline. Duh!
