Queensland’s economy is steadily being crippled by climate alarmists who believe things that simply aren’t based in reality.
For example, Oliver of Parramatta Park claims that “if the GBR wasn’t experiencing widespread coral bleaching as a result of higher water temperatures (CP, 8/4) then we wouldn’t be talking about climate change.”
Oliver is right that corals’ bleach due to changes in water temperature; it’s one of several reasons they bleach.
Bleaching is corals’ evolutionary superpower, it’s why they’re amongst the world’s most ancient species, and too many grant-dependent scientists refuse to explain that to people like Oliver.
Oliver is wrong in his implication that humans are responsible for increasing water temperatures.
Firstly, only the sun has the energy required to heat 1.3 billion cubic kilometres of seawater, and secondly, measurements taken by AIMS show the seas aren’t warming.
Here’s the measurements for Davies Reef - apps.aims.gov.au/ts-explorer/?source=63:Weather%20station&fromDate=1991-10-18T00:00:00&thruDate=2024-04-05T00:00:00 – see for yourself.
