On why the Northern Hemisphere is warmer....or why the RW would rather cling to constructed data deriving from RW think tanks to create uncertainty when that all has been largely proved wrong years ago, rather than heed the warning from the science consensus is somewhat mystifying...clinging to false hope not realising they are being taken for a ride by corperate greed.
Oh no the "scientific consensus" argument again. Like Cook et al's 2013 paper?
"We analyze the evolution of the scientific consensus on anthropogenic global warming (AGW) in the peer-reviewed scientific literature, examining 11 944 climate abstracts from 1991–2011 matching the topics 'global climate change' or 'global warming'.
We find that 66.4% of abstracts expressed no position on AGW,
32.6% endorsed AGW, 0.7% rejected AGW and 0.3% were uncertain about the cause of global warming.
Among abstracts expressing a position on AGW, 97.1% endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming. "
So 97.1% of 33.33% of abstracts. or to simplify it further for you 33.33% of abstracts, not climate scientists.

The NH has always been warmer than the SH because the SH has a larger ocean mass that pushes currents to the north past the tropics. Known for years and doesn't do anything to dispel the great uncertainty with the future that the south pole is melting rapidly.
So as the GBR is in the Southern Hemisphere and as the corals are affected by local, rather than regional, hemispheric or even global phenomena, how will the poor coral be informed when/if the Global Temperature gets to +1.5 - +2C? The coral will want to know when it is time to go "tits up".
