experts have been trying to tell us that for years, yet we still drive our gas hogs to and from work. The pictures of the GBR bleaching make me sad, like 1500 acres this year.
I will try and find the aritcle

Just for the sake of conversation...................... 
I don't completely buy this for 2 main reasons.
1. There are groups of scientists that suggest that "Global Warming" is actually a natural cycle of the earth. The idea is simply that our short livespans are too small to really be able to recognize the pattern of change as a natural event, not the result of human activity. Supposedly, according to this crowd, if we could look back in time and have good temperature data for 10000 years, we would see this pattern take place off and on, warmer and colder.
2. Corals are VERY adaptive. So we are losing some species of corals (and if that REALLY is our fault, then indeed shame on us). HOWEVER, where these die out, new species will survive which can t take the warmer heat. NO, I am not a believer in Evolution. But I do believe that the created world is very flexible. And if anything out there can better demonstrate flexibility in nature, that would be the coral reef. Look at how you can take a coral and put it in horrendously different conditions. And it's response? It will change it's shape of growth or density of polyps or something.
Way freaking cool.
Now, we should probably as a whole planet slap ourselves and start taking better control of our environment. But then again, how many of us sacrifice convenience to carpool to work? (etc, etc, I know I don't)

Makes ya kinda think, in 100years from now, the only coral reefs will probably be just what's in an aquarium.
and captn, global warming is kinda natural, every revolution around the sun brings us a smidge closer, so it stands to reason that the closer ya get, the warmer it will be. but then again, we as a species sure arn't helping with some of the crap we do.

And someday the earth is just going to fall into the sun and we're all going to burn up!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Sort of like a RTSIFE (Reverse The-Sky-Is-Falling Event (we just love acronyms in reefing, right?))
Oh no, the earth is falling, the earth is falling!!!
Sorry, I just couldn't help myself. And yes, I agree that there is plenty we could do to make things better.......

I don't know about reefers, but that gene runs rampant in my family. Especially me. I think I OD'd on that smart @$$ gene and skimped on the growth one..... eh, I always tell kids that ask me about it that I didn't eat my veggies. ;-)

That's too funny, my last step dad used to say the same thing about veggies. He was 6'5" though, drank coffe like you wouln't believe and his mother smoked while she was pregnant. Hate to think how big the man would've been had he not been stunted like the medical researchers say, lol.
