I was amazed also that organisms who have managed to survive the most devastating natural disasters to hit the earth would recover so quickly. ;-) Sometimes I have to wonder how some of these scientists get their degrees.

Clearly, we need to urgently deal with the problem of rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but managing reefs to reduce the impact of local factors can buy important time while we do this,
I’m still trying to figure out what CO2 has to do with this

So. Another “ecatastrophe” narrowly averted, eh? Could it be that the oracles of gloom and doom don’t know the future any better than the rest of us mortals?

Let’s remember that in the first few centuries after the last ice-age, corals survived greater amounts of fresh water, more rapid global warming, and a faster rising sea level than at anytime from then until now. Anything we’re seeing now is minuscule in comparison.
