>>11204461>muh coral reefsThe negative effects on flora and fauna are purely speculative and have no basis in reality. And considering how efficiently we're already driving extinction I don't think we need any help from +4C.
Coral reefs is probably one of the worst examples since it's been demonstrated that the corals recover quickly after bleaching events and that the crown of thorns is a natural phenomenon that helps rejuvenate the coral reefs after it cleans through them. Not that anyone knows this because such news is kept out of the mainstream. I only know because I had a lecturer who did such research and was fired from the Uni for daring to insinuate that the coral reef doomsaying was bullshit money grubbing.
>muh worsening disastersAlso a load of shit. Might as well believe in religion which has been calling for such events for thousands of years if you're going to believe that a few degrees in temperature fluctuations is going to bring about Armageddon.
>muh coastal citiesSo what? Coastal cities can get fucked. They don't produce anything, they're just consumers. Increasing sea levels and heat is a good thing for all inland communities which struggle without rain, literally decreasing the supposed drought which is going to wipe out all the farms.
