More fibs have been told about the GBR than even in the global warming hoax.
As early as the 1960s, the Time Life book on The Sea asserted the crown of thorns starfish would destroy the entire GBR by 1970.
Reality? Pollution killed the coral; the starfish was eating decaying coral. This came out twenty years later.
The GBR was allegedly being threatened again, not by pollution this time, so the starfish script could not be recycled. Instead, the political hoax previously known as "global warming" was used as #greenwashing this time.
The obvious contradiction here is that the Australian government just announced $2 billion in funding to remediate pollution on the GBR. I know folks who do this now.
The myth of deep sea heat was floated in 2012 to explain why it hadn’t warmed since 2000. They tried the idea that "maybe all the heat went to the frozen depths of the sea," but NASA said, "on it; checked; no dice."
In addition, Stanford researchers found that coral has genes that turn on if it gets warmed. Coral evolved as one of the very first animals on Earth at a time when CO2 was 20 times higher than now and temperatures were at least 10 degrees warmer than today.
What kills coral is Vibrio, described as "coral AIDS," in that they have an immune breakdown and die from things they don’t usually die from.
Coral only lives four feet from the water surface; below that, few and rare (i.e., precious) corals grow. The photo is of a Pacific variety, common in Hawaii. I have a piece of that in my bathroom. I hope nobody thinks that’s what it looks like 300 feet down, as that’s impossible; coral obviously cannot grow in the dark.
That coral is dead, killed either by Vibrio or pollution dumped so near it caught enough and succumbed.
Notice also those "bleached" areas attributed to heat were in fact pollution dumps, and please notice they all grew back. If it’s too hot there, why are they okay now? Is it cooling?
The most potent killer of coral is fungicides; it removes the fungal kingdom from the ecosystem, and the things that does are vital to human survival because some of the byproducts are chemicals that are precursors to the mechanism the human body uses to destroy cancer cells. You will learn of this soon.
Fungicides are also what’s killing the bees, bats, all amphibians, and rodents.
