@GreenScreen3r @ProfTerryHughes 1/11》Prof. Hughes has to await the next El Niño, for that, GSoD. With no El Niño for so long, poor Prof. Hughes @ProfTerryHughes is having to use photos from the 2016 "Super El Niño" to flog GBR FUD.

@GreenScreen3r @ProfTerryHughes 2/11》El Niños cause the Pacific to "slosh east," lowering water levels on the GBR & exposing coral to air. That causes temporary bleaching events — which Prof. Hughes will blame on "climate change."
@GreenScreen3r @ProfTerryHughes 3/11》When the next El Niño comes along, the Pacific will "slosh east," lowering lower water levels on the Great Barrier Reef, causing temporary coral bleaching events — which Prof. Terry Hughes will blame on "climate change."

@GreenScreen3r @ProfTerryHughes 4/11》Prof. Hughes' "fly-by" reef evaluations are activism, not science. The go-to experts on the GBR, with hands-on experience, are Australian Drs. Jennifer Marohasy, Peter Ridd, and Walter Starck.

@GreenScreen3r @ProfTerryHughes 5/11》You can't assess coral reef health by flying over them in an airplane during an El Niño, like Prof. Hughes did. You have to get your feet wet. You have to dive on the reefs.

@GreenScreen3r @ProfTerryHughes 6/11》Global warming is no threat to coral reefs. Most coral thrive best in warmest water. Even the very warm southern Red Sea is dotted with healthy coral reefs (unlike the cooler Mediterranean). Reef locations are mostly clustered around the warm equator

@GreenScreen3r @ProfTerryHughes 7/11》At 7:20 in this BBC video you can hear how wonderfully healthy the coral are in warmest part of the very warm southern Red Sea, off Eritrea:

That water is MUCH warmer than the GBR.

That water is MUCH warmer than the GBR.
@GreenScreen3r @ProfTerryHughes 8/11》Nor is so-called (but misnamed) "ocean acidification" a threat. Corals thrive even in waters where pH levels vary with "intense sudden changes down to pH 6.8 and up to 8.1" within hours. Here's a paper:

@GreenScreen3r @ProfTerryHughes 9/11》Australia's Great Barrier Reef is about 20 million years old. It has withstood CO2 levels both higher & much lower than present, temperatures both substantially warmer & much colder, and water levels both higher & much lower, than present.

@GreenScreen3r @ProfTerryHughes 10/11》The scientific evidence is compelling that manmade #ClimateChange is modest & benign, and CO2 emissions are beneficial rather than harmful.
@GreenScreen3r @ProfTerryHughes 11/11》The best peer-reviewed science shows that CO2 emissions are beneficial and the "social cost of carbon" is negative.
