As word of the recovery of the Great Barrier Reef spreads, the inevitable rationalization from alarmists appears. In response to a tweet thread by Bjorn Lomborg, we have the following:

Sigh. Internet law of bullshit asserts itself. You know this is going to be bullshit, but proving it is going to be a real chore.
So, coral cover did hit a high point, in the context of four mass bleaching events in the last seven years:

It was mostly a fast-growing, frail variety of coral. So perhaps what we’re looking at here is the bleaching events having killed off some of the more sturdy, long-lived corals and this fast-growing stuff is flourishing like scrub bushes after a wildfire.
There is no truth to his suggestion scientists are trying to downplay or conceal these numbers. I found stories about them everywhere: Axios, the Guardian, the Washington Post, etc., etc.

I did my part of the social media dance.

It’s so embarrassingly obvious to everybody that it’s their ideology they worship, not nature.
2022: Climate alarmists: it’s the wrong kind of people ..
Every coral is the wrong kind. The last time these evil entities were left to breed unchecked they built the corruption and depravity we now call Florida. They must be stopped, I tells ya!
Even worse they started to recolonise Bikini atoll some 10 years after the US finished trying to nuke it to death and by 2008 scientists found that 70% of the atoll’s previous species had resettled the lagoon. Pesky coral!
Cue Malcolm Turnbull claiming his shonky $400m ‘donation’ of taxpayer money saved the reef!!!
Coral which has undergone “coral bleaching” is not dead coral!
That seems to be the mistake the alarmists are making.
BS assertions with no links to where this can actually be found.
I keep a close eye on Guardian every day and they have NOT been reporting an increase in coral. They are still screaming about its demise/

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
There is always a clue that things are not playing out for the ecofascist alarmist scum when they stop reporting.
If this was expected it would have been reported when the coral was bleached. The reports would have said that the fastest growing corals will replenish the reef in half a decade or so.
The reports did not mention what has happened. Instead they talked about the end of the Great Barrier Reef.
So the reports were either made by experts who do not actually have any expertise.
Or the reports were made by experts who deliberately misled the media.
Obviously, the experts need to manage this story very closely. It is potentially very damaging to their revenue streams.
If some people are so worried about corals in the ocean, maybe someone should go talk to china about their program in the south china sea, dynamiting and dredge endless reefs to create airfields and military installations all over that area?
Its like with CO2, the climate/insane aren’t pursuing the right people. If the GBR fluctuates up 5%, that is far outweighed by how much china destroys?
Its always china, which is what they want, really.
Weren’t the coral losses Of ‘12 and ‘16 due to low water levels associated with the El Niño events ?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought that bleaching didn’t kill coral, it just lost its algae.
The correct species is “greenas democratus”.
The coral which wrecks the reef is “genus conservatorus”.
To know these things, you have to be up to speed with Latin – like me.
old and busted: coral is going extinct!
new hotness: too much coral!
