And it seems like every week, another credible source is debunking more and more of Al Gores "truth" - before too long - Gores "truth" will become a lie and the Nobel Committee will be asking for the Nobel Prize back -
This is how the rightwing convinces their flock. Make a scientific argument a political one, the sheep can understand this, they cannot understand science. In this way they can perpetuate a willful self delusion that completely ignores climate change and the consequences it poses to the entire planet and replaces it with an easy to understand political argument.
There's dozens of articles and journals out there about the negative effects of ocean acidification.
It's killing the Great Barrier Reef.
Quote:
The most significant threat to the Great Barrier Reef is climate change.[50][51] Mass coral bleaching events due to rising ocean temperatures occurred in the summers of 1998, 2002 and 2006,[52] and coral bleaching will likely become an annual occurrence.[53] Climate change has implications for other forms of life on the Great Barrier Reef as well - some fish's preferred temperature range lead them to seek new areas to live, thus causing chick mortality in seabirds that prey on the fish. Climate change will also affect the population and available habitat of sea turtles.[54]
Another key threat faced by the Great Barrier Reef is pollution and declining water quality. The rivers of north eastern Australia provide significant pollution of the Reef during tropical flood events with over 90% of this pollution being sourced from farms.[55] Farm run-off is polluted as a result of overgrazing and excessive fertiliser and pesticide use. Due to the range of human uses made of the water catchment area adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef, water quality has declined owing to the sediment and chemical runoff from farming, and to loss of coastal wetlands which are a natural filter.[56][57][58] It is thought that the mechanism behind poor water quality affecting the reefs is due to increased light and oxygen competition from algae.[59]
I'm a recent convert to denial. For a long time I accepted global warming because the data presented to me indicated it was so. I seriously doubted it was man made because the claims just didn't jive with history.
Now that it seems even the data indicating warming was falsified in an apparent wide-spread conspiracy, I can say my view at the moment is based on not the science but the fact that the folks presenting the data to me have been lying through their teeth and manipulating the peer-review system to support their agenda. Since their credibility is in serious question, at this time I find myself more inclined to believe the scientists who deny because their only source of discredit so far has come from a group of folks with a substantial amount of evidence indicating they are liars.
Normally I don't subscribe to the practice of shooting the messenger but if the messenger is a known liar.......
Wow. You really did drink the Kool Aid. One of Rush's storm troopers.

No different than the way Al Gore uses his scare tactics and dire predictions.
Al said seas would rise 20 ft. soon. Scientists said..no, 2.6 ft in 100 years.
Just do some research and you'll find the truth. The info is out there but not getting thru, just like the media ignoring the e-mails confirming the lie.
There's ALOT of money at stake for alot of people. Money is the root of all evil!!
Wow. Thank you for providing this first rate, rightwing climate change denier propaganda.
That would be interesting if it actually had an impact on temperatures.
