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!
How long have they been monitoring these reefs? How can they be so sure this is an unprecedented event?
When the article makes this stupid assertion, you know that it's a lefty environmentalist reporter at the keyboard. That's nonsense.
I don't suppose the hurricanes had ANTHING to do with the coral losses either huh?
"It keeps getting worse !!"
Things change. We are in a part of the galaxy (happens every 65 million years) where odd things happen to our solar system.
The surface of many planets and moons will change.
Even ours.
The coral reefs in one area suffered big losses.
Wait until it's humans on a scale you have not seen before.
The magnetic poles may switch, even though we are not quite sure what effect that will have. It may be superfluous.
Last year, we had a MCE (mass coronal ejection) that gave emissions in the x-ray spectrum only, but 100's of times stronger than any previously known. The main thrust of this MCE barely missed the Earth, glancing off one edge.
Had it hit square on, I suspect we would not be having this discussion, as many of us would be dead, and many of the satellites would have been disabled.
The term FRENCH FRIED would likely describe what would have happened.
There is a large potential for massive catastrophe and change during our journey through the center plane of the galaxy, so hold on tight to your seat, because,
You ain't seen nothing, yet!
