Stupid scientists! Apparently they aren't listening to the people that
really know and understand this stuff, conservative politicians and
Rush! If they did, they'd know that despite evidence, this isn't happeneing:

Pesky little facts - they just keep getting in the way don't they?

"The five-yearly reef outlook report, aimed at benchmarking the health
of the reef, found climate change, declining water quality from
coastal runoff, development and illegal fishing were the biggest
dangers to the reef."

Let's dissect that paragraph:

1 - Climate Change - check.

2 - Polluted water runoff - check.

3 - Development - check.

4 - Illegal fishing - check.

One out of four - that's 25% of the total problem. If I were looking
at this, I might think that there are a lot more problems with the
reef than just climate change.

Why one could almost believe that if the other 75% of the problems
were solved, then maybe the reef might survive.

Here's an interesting little blurb:

"The report, prepared by Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority
scientists, says damage will occur from issues such as climate change,
nutrient overload and over-fishing but, if well managed, the ecosystem
should survive better than most other reefs."

Hmmm - nutrient overload and over-fishing. 2/3rds of the problem.
Wonder how that would affect the health of the reef if those were
solved?

But wait - there's more!!!

Read the non-global warming parts - very interesting. In particular
the part about shipping: groundings, ballast discharge, oil spills,
litter and sewage discharge.

It would appear that "global warming" plays a very minor role in the
problems facing the Great Barrier Reef.

But wait - there's more!!!

Pesky little critter huh?

Ah science - gotta love it.
Boy, great post and I bet it took a lot more work than just spewing
bumper sticker ads saying "most scientists, settled science, etc...".

OH, I get it!!! You think that because the Great Barrier Reef is having
other problems, that it couldn't POSSIBLY be suffering because of global
warming...right??
You need to get up to speed... It's not Global warming anymore, it's
climate change.. Since the world is getting cooler for the last ten
years or so...

Could you answer my question?
Sure... The earth is going through it's normal cycle. So is the reef...

And you're sure of this how? And this is the only reason and your sure
of that how? Now, my question, which you've failed to answer is this:
You think that because the Great Barrier Reef is having
other problems, that it couldn't POSSIBLY be suffering because of global
warming...right??

Right... It is just as certain it is moon beams doing it... snerk
Think cycles, remember, the earths temp moves up and down all the time.
The fact that Al Gore and many others have to use made up science in
their propaganda films should tell you something...

Maybe you're special interests just got a little more interesting.....

Seems as though Exxon needs to pay scientists to say global warming
isn't man made.....

Why not when you've got the liberals funding the other side of the
issue? To whom do you think Soros is giving money, both sides?
