Just more evidence of how this man-made global warming, catastrophic climate change scam can only exist as long as people pretending to be scientists are allowed to lie, exaggerate, and mislead the public with their biased, agenda driven doom and gloom predictions
Not to worry though, the doom and gloom machine just keeps on churning out the doom and gloom. So keep those taxpayer funded green energy dollars flowing into the pockets of the political, cultural and political elites:
The growth in coral cover is driven by Acropora, a genus of coral that’s particularly susceptible to stressors including coral bleaching, wave damage, and predators.
And yes after being hit by multiple, widespread stressors between 2014 and 2020, 2021 was a relatively stressor-free year for the Great Barrier Reef, giving coral cover a chance to recover, according to an Australian Institute of Marine Science report. However, short-term recoveries in coral growth can be reversed quickly, and are not proof that the Great Barrier Reef as a whole is growing.
And when we make an effort to fix things --it seems to work.
Now if we could forge ahead and do even more to protect our planet.
Well, sensible people have been trying to get nuclear plants built, but environmentalists have been busy pushing toxic solar panels, bird-killing wind turbines, and coal-powered electric vehicles, instead...

So typical. What did humans do, did we physically plant new coral? Did we conduct a campaign to destroy all the starfish? Did we magically lower the water temps in the Coral Reef region? Did we blot out the sun?
Tell us, what precisely did we do, according to the above charts, which in 2010 and 2016 grew so much coral?? Besides people like you claiming we did something vague, and produced some as yet unidentified miracle.

I knew this was coming. So the coral growing is proof that humans were destroying it. So now all we have to do is keep making life miserable for humans and the corals are home free!
It reminds me how the term "global warming" replaced "global cooling" then the whole thing got changed to the irrefutable "climate change". Hard to argue with that phrase unless it doesn't change then we will switch to "climate stagnation". But I think "climate change" is a pretty safe term. As long as there is even one human left to utter that word, he/she/they will be the blame of course.
The Earth is ever changing and humans have little to do about about it and we certainly cannot change it.
Near me there has been shocking amounts of erosion over the last few years due to a barrier beach being breached during a big storm and now more storms send more devastating waves and wind to this area. Cliffs have collapsed a popular nature preserve hiking trail is now gone and everyone is blaming Global Warming. Well this might be the case but living on a spit of sand that sticks out into the Atlantic Ocean which was actually created by Glaciers during the Ice Age about 20,000 years ago means that the sand will move over time. The cliff might be gone from where we grew accustomed to it being but it is being redeposited further to the South. Given enough years we might be able to walk to Nantucket.
The same goes for the Barrier Reef. It is a living natural thing that expands and contracts with Nature.
The best thing we can do to protect it is to keep an oil spill or other man made calamities from hitting it.
