The Great Barrier Reef will be destroyed by 2020 prediction didn’t seem to work out too well for the climate alarmists.

By “climate alarmists” do you mean scientists who actually study climate issues?  As opposed to “climate idiots” who aren’t professionals, don’t study climate issues and base their opinions about it on politics and the writings of other climate idiots.

Climate alarmists that predicted the end of the Great Barrier Reef.  That could include all of who you brought up.

I faintly remember a prediction that the GBR ( great barrier reef, not go big red) was in danger due to climate change. But I don’t recall that it would be gone by 2020. Do you have a link for that? It wasn’t mentioned in your other article.

Sorry It was 2022.   Now everyone is pushing it back to 2040 and 2050.   Prob enough time for the alarmists to die and not face the consequences of being wrong.

Yet a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that large portions of the GBR have been on a trajectory of decline for much of this period. Between 1986 and 2012, over half of the living coral has been lost. If current trends continue, over 90 percent or more of the living coral will be gone from the central and southern parts of the reef in just 10 years.

So, if they document that between those years, over half the coral is gone and they can calculate that "if the trends continue, over 90% of the living coral will be gone by 2022."  Isn't that just stating fact?  Isn't it a pretty simple calculation from what they have observed?

 

Now, obviously that trend changed.  What caused that change?  Was there anything environmentalists pushed through to make that change in the trend?

 

Just because a trend changes, doesn't mean the people telling you about the trend are "alarmists".  It's just stating fact.
