The annual data on coral cover for the Great Barrier Reef, produced by the Australian Institute of Marine Science, was released on Monday showing the amount of coral on the reef is at record high levels.
Record high, despite all the doom stories by our reef science and management institutions.
Like all other data on the reef, this shows it is in robust health. For example, coral growth rates have, if anything, increased over the past 100 years, and measurements of farm pesticides reaching the reef show levels so low that they cannot be detected with the most ultra-sensitive equipment.
This data is good news. It could hardly be better. But somehow, our science organizations have convinced the world that the reef is on its last legs. How has this happened?
One reason is that occasionally colossal amounts of coral are killed, mostly by cyclones, but also by the crown of thorns starfish and bleaching.
So the media, with its predilection for bad news, can be fed a regular diet of doom
Our scientists are always happy to oblige. The quiet recovery is generally downplayed or ignored.

Record coral cover means there was no disaster on the reef. The only disaster is the quality assurance at the science organizations.
The only problem with climate alarmists is absolutely none of their predications come true.
Peter Ridd is the Australian scientist who has lived in reef country his whole life, and knows the GBR better than anyone else. He was recently fired from his academic appointment because he wrote the truth instead of the narrative. Case is pending I believe, but shows how severely twisted “science” is today.
Another fake crisis that can only be solved with more communism.
Un-possible, we’re told daily the reefs are dying from climate change and our sunscreen.
Does oceanic CO2 promote Coral?
🥳
The headline is silly. Climate warriors have no shame.
Yes, but you see, those climate alarmists were the backward troglodyte climate alarmist buffoons of yesteryear. Today's climate alarmists are so impeccably brilliant, there's no way they could ever be wrong!

For the lefties, they panic if anything is changing. Up means disaster and death. Down means disaster and death. They are ill-equipped to deal with the curveballs life serves up daily.
DOH!
Record high corals? That could be a problem. /s
This is how they spin these sorts of things somehow.
I’ve dove a number of places around the world.
The Coral Sea near Australia was by far the best and I saw zero damage anywhere.
Visibility was 200ft and conditions were perfect.
So maybe can we move back the end-of-the-world date by 5 or 6 more years?
I think the theory was an atmospheric deficit of carbon dioxide was being absorbed into the ocean, acidifying it and destroying the coral. Could it be that the deficit was due absorption by aquatic plants and plankton?
There is a youtube series about a young couple that explored the remote NE coast of Oz living from a 17’ open fishing boat for 4 months during covid. Most of the time they lived off of what they could catch from the water and drank coconut milk.
They visited the Reef many times and never once mentioned dying corals The videos of their dives are spectacular.
There is a huge problem with plastics washing up on the beaches of the most remote areas.
It’s worth a watch. And the woman is an Italian babe which makes them even better.
Here is vid of them on the Barrier Reef. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ohfs9jipSY&t=1s&ab_channel=Back2BasicsAdventures

I still laugh when I remember there were supposed to be GLACIERS IN LOS ANGELES!!!!
I lived at 6500 foot elevation back then, where it did get cold in the winter, couldn’t believe all those “DOWN THE HILL” losers spending thousands of dollars on cold weather survival equipment and clothing.
LAUGHING RIGHT NOW!!! :)
Try to go snorkeling at least once in your life. Those colors you see in that picture are nothing compared to what you see in real life.
True. Remember how they were going on about the rain forests at one time?
“The lings of the planet are dying! “We’re all going to die!’’.
