So you know better than Charlie Vernon, a scientist who has spent 50 years studying coral? Posted by ant, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 10:44:38 AM

Come on Ant.
I know people who have spent 50 years studying their navel, & they have learnt stuff all too. Posted by Hasbeen, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 11:31:08 AM

Hasbean,
Here is one link, there is a link within it to the scientific paper http://www.laserfocusworld.com/articles/2017/12/laser-initiated-hydrogen-boron-fusion-now-leading-contender-for-energy-source.html Geoff Posted by Geoff of Perth, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 12:13:53 PM

"So you know better than Charlie Vernon,"
Well I'm not sure. If he's saying that higher temperatures in 2020 will wipe out corals which survived similar or higher temperatures over the past 12000 years, well yes I do know more. More about logic and deduction. But from the article you linked, he's not saying that, so we don't know what he thinks. But he is of the standard we're-all-gunna-die crowd, which is why the Age praised him and why you uncritically accept his fact devoid assertions.

Thanks for that Geoff, I must start paying attention.

"Anyone is perfectly free to use Google to see what NASA not only said, but their most recent article, accompanied by Photographic evidence! "
Translation: there is no evidence for what AlanB said. He just made it up and/or significantly misunderstood something he'd read.
A better man would either offer up the evidence to prove his claim or admit to error.
A lesser man would....well would do exactly as Alan B has done.

ant,
Yes, the fact that it was previously warm doesn't mean that the current warm isn't man-made. But that's entirely beside the point in this regard.
I was simply pointing out that coral survived non-man-made warming in the past, and will survive current warming, whether natural or man-made.
I know you struggle to follow a logical thread, but give it some thought and it might come to you.
