I am more worried about what pollution is going into the water instead of temperatures rising.

captive propagation is a good idea but it is far sighted, sure it will save some corals but if you look at the big picture of how the reefs have progressed over time and then suddenly died off youll see that its enevitable, propragation will save some corals but we might as well spot driving our suv's and burning the planets fossil fuels. IMO we are all royally F'ed in the end anyways no matter what we dom, we are doomed to die by our own demise, or even the unknown (something from space). There is a point at which we must open our eyes and realize that there will be no fixing what we have done to our planet. No worries though, for that the earth will not end because of us, it will continue like it has for the pass 4 billion years. Reefs die off its happened before and it'll happen again. its unfortunate but hey what are we going to do about it, we cant play god, so all i can say now is that we might as well enjoy them well they still exsist, after all the human race is all about greed. (the cambrian era had no reefs they were none exsistant)

It has nothing to do with playing god. It has everything to do with cleaning up your own mess. And yes it is that simple.
I remember the bigh push in the 70's for people to start cleaning up the trash on the streets and highways.
It worked!
I can drive down many streets and highways now and I don't see 1/10th the trash that I saw as a kid or teenager.
The only time anyone is royally F'd is when they throw there hands up in the air and take the "Oh Well" attitude. Instead I try to take a proactive approach. It does and has worked when you give it a chance.
and yet global warming continues. It is true that we can clean up but not to the extent that people are dreaming about, the fact is that garbage, pollutants, etc. are still all there whether we see it or not. If we clean it up off our streets to make the place look cleaner its just shipped off and put into a land fill somewhere else, Dont get me wrong i believe in recycling and such its just that its not doing enough, i guess there are just no simple anwsers like we would all hope for. Anyways i feel that i have said enough to stir up the hive (so to speak) and thats why i shall stop.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=7667857#post7667857 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by wds21921

How can you know the future? You guys(NASA) spend 2 BILLION dollars, and still can't get styrofoam to work right.
