All of you who will contract skin cancer once sunscreens are pulled from the market can take heart....you're helping the planet.

But some 60 percent of these reef systems are threatened by a deadly combination of climate change, industrial pollution and excess UV radiation.I knew climate change would be in there. Plus, global warming->hot->more lotion->dead coral. See, anyone can play 6 degrees of global warming and be a scientician.

Interesting to see this because I have my own theory that sunscreens confuse or attract sharks to bathers/surfers.
I was down in St. Thomas and had put sunscreen on then walked out into the water about waist height. I noticed a large perch shaped fish pretty close to me, next thing there was about 6 real close watching me and enjoying the grease coming off my legs. Needless to say I decided to go back to shore.

Doesn’t excess sunscreen actually help with that last one? Slather on some lotion for the coral!

I didn’t see anything in the article that suggested people shouldn’t wear sunscreen anymore. Am I missing something?

...a deadly combination of climate change, industrial pollution and excess UV radiation...I didn't know coral had it so bad. /bs

“a new study commissioned by the European Commission”
If it keeps the bikini-wearing European men (fat or not) off the beach, then I’m all for saving the coral.
