Fear mongering to promote a hidden agenda? Oh, sorry, We all know that never happens......

If only science was that simple.
Facts: Large areas of coral reefs have died off;; large areas are now again covered by coral.
Nearly everything beyond that is just some conclusion drawn from two data points. No investigation into why the coral died. Not investigation into what changed that the coral can now recover. No data on whether the coral that has recovered is substantially the same as what was lost.
A lightning strike causes a fire that destroys hundreds of acres of old-growth forest. Twenty years later the area is covered with healthy pines. Since the area is again covered with trees does that prove that lightning doesn't destroy forests? Can we say there were trees before and there are trees now so nothing really happened, the trees just changed their clothes?
Science just isn't that simple.
