What are the scientists going to do when (1) the coral reef does not totally die and then (2) the reef becomes gradually more populated by living coral again, as the algae and zooplankton species they thrive on gradually produce more representatives with greater ability to adapt to warmer waters (said to be the cause of the loss of corals - the loss of their food). It may also turn out that some corals are already better at consuming algae and zooplankton more accustomed to warmer climes than that which is found at the Great Barrier reef, and such corals will gradually take hold in the Great Barrie Reef where other corals are dying more frequently.

Governments need to put coolers with thermostats on all the coral reefs.


Oh my gawd, your species privilege is so showing right now. Fish don’t even have thumbs, dude.

I think coral reefs only occur in tropical and subtropical waters. Global warming may actually expand them into temperate zones.

It looks like those who don’t believe in Gd are forced to try and take His place.

Which doesn’t even make sense. Ha.

I have a feeling they ... die out....and come back in a few years type. A kind of self evolution.
As evidenced by many news story headlines ...

I guess in the 500 million years since coral reefs first started, the climate has always been exactly as it is now.

That can be the only reason for all of this.

Apparently coral reefs have rarely existed at all in the last 10,000 years.

Unfounded Assertion: Stopping global warming only way to save coral reefs

Alas-alack...once again the miasma of hopelessness/despair about climate change...the conclusions drawn from incomplete data...could development of the coast have anything to do with the above normal bleaching?
