No, it doesn't. It says low tide can cause bleaching.

So when I asked what caused it and you gave me a link suggesting "low tide" that doesn't meant that was the answer or even part of it?

If I gave you a list of things that cause cancer, would you think that everything on the list caused someone to get cancer?

No. The Shroomery is where I get my news. That fucking sucks. But not surprising. We've known for like 30-40 years it was dying and didn't stop doing the shit that was killing it.

Oh shit guys. New thing about electric cars I learned. Cars in general.

50% of the emission a car will ever produce comes from the production line of that car. So you may think that trading in your car for an electriic one is better for the environment, but now that you know this, you keep your gas car until it breaks down and delay your purchase Cause otherwise you're throwing in a brand new 50% emsission right off the bat on the raod.

Let me save you the trouble,

climate change is caused by fossil fuels

That about right?

Fun fact,  most lies pushed by the climate change hoaxers are indeed hoaxes

Take the reef thing, not one person believes it could have been stopped but they are willing to throw away whole productive branches of industry to push their cause anyway, it's disgusting

Quote:

It takes roughly the equivalent of 260 gallons of gasoline to make the typical car of around 3,000 pounds, according to an exhaustive study by the Argonne National Laboratory. (And I do mean exhaustive. These guys have factored in darn near everything but the calories consumed by the assembly-line workers.) A hybrid car takes about 25% more energy than a regular car, or around the equivalent of 325 gallons because it requires more juice to make the batteries.

Whether to replace depends on how much you drive. If your car gets 32 miles per gallon, then you’re putting on only 3,200 miles a year, as opposed to the ghastly national average of more than 13,000. So if you buy, say, a plug-in Prius, which gets about 50 miles per gallon and drive it the same distance, you'd be using 36 fewer gallons of gas a year than with your old car. So it would take 9 years before your Prius will have “caught up” with your old car and saved enough fuel to offset the energy needed to make it. After that, your 18 miles extra per gallon will be pure savings in energy and emissions. But if you were driving your old car that customary 13,000 miles a year, burning 406 gallons a year, it would only take about 10 months before you’d have burned up the amount of energy needed to create a road-worthy Prius.

Well, you have to try. Money should be secondary to life forms and turns out that life forms are the environment.

But the car thing I mentioned is not a hoax. Car production is extrememly polluting. Melting the steel, making the plastics, electricity needed to operate etc.

Delay buying new cars as much as you can if you're pro environment
