Since it has been much warmer than it is now, it follows that coral found ways to adapt or there wouldn’t be any coral.

There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Now, mostly dead is slightly alive.

In Middle School, I was told l it takes thousands of years for coral to grow; I remember this vividly.

We have plants and even crustaceans here in the desert that “die” and then come back as a survival trait. Nature is a wondrous thing.

That and that fossil fuels were created by rotting dinosaur carcasses.

Maybe just maybe it was not the warming that killed the coral but some other ‘natural’ cause.
Oh sorry I forgot that it was settled science and cannot be questioned.
Therefore what the researched actually found was zombie coral

It is how they survive ice ages. Most living reefs will be exposed to air.

Oh my goodness! I thought I was alone in the idea that so called fossil fuels are just natural substances that are just under the Earth’s surface that are not from dead stuff.

Kinda like brain dead...not really dead...just enough so that we can harvest your organs.

When in Australia this year, I was told by a marine biologist the great barrier reef is about 10,000 to 15,000 years old.
She showed us limestone rock that was just a few years old 5-10!
She pointed out an entire small island that did not exist when Captain Cook sailed through 200 years ago.
I was amazed at how fast coral grew and rock formed.

The Great Barrier Reef used to be completely out of the water. It survived.
