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

Global climate change is a natural occurring sequence of warming and
cooling. Species die, other survive and new ones develop. It is
nothing
to
get excited about..........and it certainly is not "Bush's fault"

Kevin is indeed acting as "chicken Little"

We're still going to need to see your data, imbecile. Prove that we are
having no measurable effect which can be lessened through behavioral
changes.

Temperature seems to play a role in coral bleaching. But there is ample
historical data of bleaching periods when ocean temps were *not* in an
elevated state. Science hasn't been able to come up with an explanation
to
that paradox yet. So blaming it on global warming is lazy science.

The typical liebral "prove a negative" debate tactic is duly noted as
well.
Natural global climate change is a fact.........the ice age being just one
example. "Man made global climate change" is a hypothesis derived from
the
junk science world.

Back in the early 1980s, American doctors were asked to visit a remote
village in China to investigate why the rate of esophagus cancer was about
50 times higher than anyone had ever heard of. They found that a local
specialty, some sort of pickled cabbage, developed foam on top of the
fermenting stuff, and that this foam was considered a delicacy. It was also
loaded with nitrites, the ones we add to processed meats. They stopped the
locals from eating it. The rate of cancer dropped like a rock.

You *could* say that perhaps something else was introduced to the diet,
water or air and caused the improvement. But, proving a negative seems to
have worked.


They proved a positive. The foam was loaded with nitrates.
