Unfortunately for our alarmist pals, that little issue is completely refuted here:
"Clearly, climate-alarmist claims of impending marine species extinctions due to increases in both temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentration are not only not supported by real-world evidence, they are actually refuted by it.....
...Atmospheric CO2 enrichment has been postulated to possess the potential to
harm coral reefs both directly and indirectly. With respect to marine life -- and
especially that of calcifying organisms such as corals and coccolithophores --
neither increases in temperature, nor increases in atmospheric CO2 concentration, nor increases in both of them together, have had any ill effects on the important processes of calcification and growth.
In fact, out in the real world of nature, these processes have actually responded positively to the supposedly unprecedented concomitant increases in these “twin evils” of the radical environmentalist movement.
If there is a lesson to be learned from the materials discussed in this review, it is that people should be paying much more attention to real-world observations than to theoretical predictions. Far too many predictions of CO2-induced catastrophes are treated as sure-to-occur, when real-world observations show them to be highly unlikely or even virtual impossibilities. The cases of CO2-induced coral bleaching and ocean acidification are no different.
We have got to realize that rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations are not the bane of the biosphere, but a boon to the planet’s many life forms."
I wonder what Plan C, Plan D, Plan E, ad absurdum, ad infinitum, will reveal to us in this progression of nonsense?
That's "climate crisis" now, Bubba.
