> It's the modern conservative trick to make an outrageous claim, then link to data refuting that claim completely

Er, he's reporting on the claims made by environmentalists and the data he links to that refutes that claim completely is gathered by Australian marine biologists. How is that in any way a trick?

It's really extremely tedious how the response to academics making mistakes is ALWAYS to say, "look a conservative! run away!". What's the inference here, that people on the left don't care about scientists making accurate predictions? That seems pretty unfair to them.

The data (a chart) shows widespread death of the reef. No refutation; just support.
