The Australian newspaper appeared to think it had a slam-dunk(稳操胜券的事) this week with a front page story pointing to official government data which showed “the Great Barrier Reef is refusing to die” despite decades of warnings that global heating would cause its demise(死亡，终结).
《澳大利亚人报》本周似乎认为它稳操胜券，其头版报道援引官方政府数据称“大堡礁拒绝死亡”，尽管数十年来一直有警告称全球变暖将导致其消亡。
In an editorial to back its reporting, the newspaper claimed the “continued good health” of the reef was a “welcome reminder that physics rather than the pseudo-religion(伪宗教) of climate change doom still holds sway(支配，主导) over the natural order.”
在一篇为其报道背书的社论中，该报声称大堡礁的“持续良好健康状况”是一个“受欢迎的提醒，即物理学而非气候变化厄运的伪宗教仍然主导着自然秩序。”
Scientific-based assessments of risks facing the reef from global heating were wrong, it seemed, and the data and the physics showed it.
看来，基于科学的大堡礁面临全球变暖风险的评估是错误的，数据和物理学都证明了这一点。
