In case you have
missed it there is an ebb and flow in nature. There are years of bumper crops
and years of lean. There is sickness and disease that strikes all segments of
life, and there are times of recovery. Every so many years rabbits produce like
crazy, or crickets, or mice, or even coral and then their predators rise and
feed off of them cutting their numbers back, and so the cycles that God has
ordained from the beginning continue.
A few years ago, we were lectured that
Turns out that a "spectacular" recovery is underway, according to the leftist
Sections of coral reef in Australia's
In 2006, high sea temperatures caused severe coral
bleaching in the
A "lucky combination" of rare circumstances has
meant the reef has been able to make a recovery.
The Virginian website aptly comments:
Note that the environmentalists will never say that their
apocalyptic warnings were wrong. The next environmental disaster is ever around
the corner if mankind is not careful to leave the management of the earth to
them. If disaster does not come to pass, they were not wrong, we were just
lucky. Or, as the Voice of America will have it, environmentalism was the cause of the
recovery. ...
... to attribute fragility to the
environment, as virtually every
environmentalist does, is to infantilize the issue. The earth is not fragile.
It is remarkably robust. It has withstood floods and drought, earthquakes and
volcanoes, fires and floods, heat and cold and the earth endures.
Undaunted, like the people who
gather on mountaintops to watch the end of the world, when it
does not come, they don't lose faith. They simply sacrifice a virgin,
adjust their calendars and recalculate the next end of everything.
To paraphrase Love Story (which Al
Gore claimed was about him):
Being a warmist
means never having to say you're sorry.
