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

sky is falling.

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)
