Heard it mentioned about a third of the great barrier reef was lost last year.

So none of he radiation from Fukushima has had any effect over the last 6 years? Then I suppose it is reasonable that the japs are wanting to dump all that radiated water they have stored in makeshift tanks, because they are rotting and they are out of space. Why not?

BTW, in the 70's the fear mongering was that the earth was cooling and there would not be enough sunlight to grow crops. Here is a catchy tune on the subject:

https://www.songlyrics.com/spirit/natures-way-lyrics/

It's nature's way of telling you
Something's wrong

It's nature's way of telling you, soon we'll freeze
It's nature's way of telling you, dying trees

It's nature's way of receiving you
It's nature's way of retrieving you
It's nature's way of telling you
Something's wrong

When I cough after a hit that had too many of the thicker components, that tune comes to mind every time.

Global warming doesn’t rhyme with trees.

I’ll listen to NASA. They may be wrong, but I’ll play the odds.
