Update on Coral bleaching on Great Barrier Reef

No. I believe Ridd takes bribes

How much do you get paid for these posts?

He has the D-K effect. Thinks he knows more than he does. He couldn't possible "know" what he thinks he knows.

​

In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their competence or incompetence. ​

Relax Frasier....have a beer. Lol

 

[vegas giants]

I take it you have proof of that?

If not.... You are committing slander.

Sue me.

 

[vegas giants]

Nobody has to like the evidence. But it's pretty strong that the only guy they can find to speak out against AGW is paid by people who benefit from.that position


Ridd’s speaking tour has been hosted by regional branches of the sugarcane growers peak body, Canegrowers, and the Australian Environment Foundation, a charity set up by the rightwing thinktank the Institute of Public Affairs, with strong links to the agriculture and fossil fuel industries.

Well, there are good examples of that.

Barack Obama... Bill Clinton... etc.

Just how much do they make being paid speakers at events?

Former Presidents command large fees. Simple as that.

Half the Reef destroyed but they won’t release the data
The future of the entire 350,000 km2 Great Barrier Reef hangs in the balance — as the coralapocalypse has wiped out 50% of the coral in just 25 years. Lordy! If only we’d built some off-shore wind farms on the reef to protect it! We could cover whole islands with solar panels? What are we thinking!
But as Peter Ridd points out, AIMS (The Australian Institute of Marine Science) surveys around 100 reefs every year — and for the last 35 years — and they find things are roughly the same. See the graph below.

Don’t look now, but corals are doing fine. From Jennifer Marohasy and Peter Ridd.
Somehow Terry Hughes — and the Centre of Excellence for Integrated Coral Reef Studies — gets up to $4 million each year to report on the reef but won’t release the data behind the mass media campaign.
The ABC — which gets nearly $3 million dollars every single day — can’t even pick up the phone to interview AIMS or Peter Ridd and ask one hard question of Terry Hughes’ “Excellent” centre. (We all know why they had to put the word “excellence” in the title, it was the only way the word would ever be used to describe an activist group pretending to be scientists.)
And we all know that if anyone at James Cook University (JCU) has any doubts about the quality of the output from the “Excellent” centre they won’t be saying a word or they’ll get sacked like Peter Ridd did.
JCU — still supporting junk science and ignoring that other case of potential fraud?
Has James Cook Uni starting investigating the possible scientific fraud by Oona Lonnsteadt, or are they too busy getting their High Court Case ready to defend their right to sack Peter Ridd for using satire in emails and being “un collegial”?
Who cares about the damn corals eh? JCU are more interested in being a Labor Party marketing machine and giving free advertising to Banker carbon schemes and the Renewables Industry. The Morrison Government could solve this in five minutes but continues to support junk universities by feeding them money without even the minimum requirement that they enshrine free speech in all their employment contacts.
Likewise the Bureau of Met neglect the temperature sites near the reef and generate fake warming by ignoring site changes.

Coral Cover on the Great Barrier Reef stays about the same Source AIMS
If Dietzel et al were really worried about the reef they wouldn’t be hiding the data.
From Peter Ridd at GWPF:
Moreover, Professor Hughes has refused to make public the raw data upon which he made this claim, despite repeated requests.

This latest work by Prof Hughes needs a thorough quality-audit to test its veracity”, says Ridd. “Prime-facie, there are excellent grounds to treat it with great scepticism.”

If only someone somewhere was concerned about coral, they wouldn’t let the reef be abused and misused as a marketing tool. (Thankfully Jennifer Marohasy and Peter Ridd shoot video’s on the health of the reef).

Yes, you are.

Thank you for your major contribution to the thread

How does climate change affect coral reefs?

Natural disasters such as hurricanes, tropical storms, tsunamis, and landslides have the potential to be the source of a tremendous amount of marine debris. High winds, heavy rain, storm surge, and flooding associated with these disasters can pull large structures, household products, and...

LOL...

As if you contribute anything of fact, rather than fiction.

LOL...

At least I understand what I speak of. You just regurgitate propaganda.

HAHAHAHAHA

Yes, yes, yes.

You believe the propaganda instead of actually understanding the science.

Did you know that the pH of the ocean is also cyclical, and all the CO2 we put in the air has not put the ocean pH outside of normal?

Post your evidence. I don't believe a thing you deniers post

 

[Lord of Planar]

Post your evidence. I don't believe a thing you deniers post

I have, several times.

You deny the facts of science. You fall prey to the lies of the charlatans. Why should I post the same thing over and over when you deny it over and over?

Yes, AGW is real. CO2 just isn't the threat so many believe. Land use changes and pollution are the largest issues we face regarding the changes we make on our environment. Try focusing there please. Until you do, you are just letting others use you for their lies.

 

[Lord of Planar]

I've supplied data before. This one is different, but I don't know where to find the actual paper I did years back.

Modern pH spikes are still higher than it was around 1920 and around 1960

Ocean pH Time Series - MW&A

Here is a global ocean pH time series chart that includes tabulation of the 1,567,902 pH values for the ‘pelagic’ zone, taken from the WOD database. To approximate the pelagic zone, I limited data... Continue Reading

That means nothing

Dismissed

Yep.

Just like you will deny the post I made after that with evidence.

Hmmm... a non-peer-reviewed blog post with no easily verifiable references.

Lazy denial.

Lazy denial.

Says a guy who is known for cutting and pasting other people's denialist lies and misinformation without even reading it first or adding any comments of his own. And then when he is called out for pushing BS can't legitimately defend any of it.

Jack, you are the epitome of lazy denial.

Hogwash.

You cut and paste denialist lies and misinformation without really understanding most of it. I then use facts and data to refute your BS... over and over again. I have done this literally hundreds of times.

Your intellectual dishonesty is getting really old.

I just showed it's out there. It was a few years back I found the good supporting evidence.

pH is cyclical. Deny that all you want.
