For some reason those who believe the most ferverently in evolution are the ones that complain the most as it takes its course.

This is tragic. We've had lots of memorable dives in those waters. I say this because I'm a liar. Coral schmoral, it comes and it goes.

Karl Rove is taking us out of the last Ice Age, eventually only to bring us into the next one. It's a full court press/Rope-A-Dope gambit on the RATs. I tell ya its cyclical thing, like a pendulum, but the RATs and their extortionist RAT junk-scientists just can't see it.

Abandoned oil platforms make excellent artificial reefs.
Problem solved.
Drill offshore Florida now!
To: LM_Guy
How long have they been monitoring these reefs? How can they be so sure this is an unprecedented event?

The reefs down in the caribbean have been dying for years,,we have been diving for the past 20 years and it is serious, worse every year. Sad thing to see.

I agree. Last year I went back to Jamaica and was shocked at the devastation. Everything was dead. There was very little fish. The whole area was gray in color. A hell of a lot different than 15 years ago.

Lose one, Make one I always say! Fish love man-made reefs.

Reefs limit the damage from hurricanes When the article makes this stupid assertion, you know that it's a lefty environmentalist reporter at the keyboard. That's nonsense.
To: LM_Guy
I don't suppose the hurricanes had ANTHING to do with the coral losses either huh?

Really.. if coral reefs are soooo fragile, how can they lessen the effects of hurricanes or tsunamis, two of the most destructive forces of nature on the planet . . . except for Bush, of course.
To: Hadley V. Baxendale
Nice screenname. Haven't seen that one since, oh, 1971. Axe into the door or windowframe next to the head, as I recall. Or has my memory gone completely kaput in my late middle age?
To: Hadley V. Baxendale
Actually...they do.
They cut down the wave action damage...but of course are of no help against wind and surge.
