And meanwhile, Kevin is running around in his tin foil hat screaming

I assume you have information indicating that the science behind this
is all wrong. Coral are not being affected as described. Your
information sounds interesting. Got links?
No, coral reefs have been dying, some from predators because man has
eaten or collected the king conch which is a predator of the starfish
which eats the coral and some from climate, particularly near the
equator. Coral is very fragile and lives in a very small temperature
range - depth. As temps increase it will move north of the equator
provided there is a shallow enough location for it to flourish.

The major problem at this time, especially in the great barrier reefs is
the Starfish.



Starfish? I wonder if the scientists mentioned in the article are aware
of that. (pardon my sarcasm)


Yes the scientist do. Research "Crown of Thorns starfish".


OK. Just making sure. Any scientist who wants to be published will know that
he/she has to show that factors like this have been taken into
consideration.
