Doomsday Climate Studies Turn Out To Be Overblown Nonsense

They lied to us about the scamdemic.  They lied to us about racism in government schools.  They lied about the cost of the train to nowhere—they LIED about diapers on your face.  And for the long term, we will find out the full extent of the lies about the jabs and the harm that will do to society over the course of two generations—fertility issues, concern, heart problems, mental illness and more.  Money making scammasters like Gore and the high school dropout Greta are making money from their junk science and the cooperation of the media and totalitarian politicos—using climate as the excuse to run slave nations.

Doomsday Climate Studies Turn Out To Be Overblown Nonsense

The fish are all right

Washington Free Beacon Staff, 2/17/22 

For over a decade, scientists have warned that the acidification of ocean water could decimate fish populations. Acidification changed fish behavior, several studies found, making them less likely to evade predators.

As carbon emissions pushed pH levels higher and higher, climate advocates sounded an apocalyptic tone. Fewer fish would mean fewer fisheries, which would imperil the livelihoods of millions of fishermen across the globe. It could also mean fewer medicines, many of which are derived from marine life.

According to a new paper in a top-ranked biology journal, these concerns are vastly overblown.

The paper, published in PLOS Biology on Feb. 3, reviewed 91 studies of the effect of ocean acidification on fish behavior. It found that better-quality studies tended to find smaller effects on fish behavior—and that the studies with the most dramatic results tended to have low sample size, making them less statistically reliable.

Those lower-quality studies are nonetheless “published in high-impact journals and have a disproportionate influence,” the authors said. “We contend that ocean acidification has a negligible direct impact on fish behavior.”
