Get certified, go diving ... soon.
I've realized that much of my lifetime's diving I'll probably want to do in the next 5 years vs a few decades from now. I hope I'm wrong ... but sadly it may be reality.

Fossil fuels:lol:
I don't think this is an unusual anomaly in the weather due to mankind. History has shown us that the weather will be changing forever. One day there will probably be a time when the Earth's weather becomes too hospitable for humans to live. A million years after that some other kind of life will emerge.

Other than that given everything we see in the past - it is likely to change, and to vary in the future.
It also suggests that if you like what coral reefs are/mean today - I'd enjoy them, dive them as much as possible now. Everything changes ... and appears to be actively doing so. Esp. in our southern `back yard reef'.

The problem is going to get worse before it gets any better.
There is also a theory that as the earth's temps continue to increase the melting of the polar ice caps will release methane gases. These gases will enter the atmosphere and add to the greenhouse effect.... thus causing temps to rise.
It really hard to predict what is going to happen in the future because the current "Global Weirding" phenomenon...

I have heard some say that this is a process that has happend before, that the water temps has been higher in the past. Once the water warms to a point the glaciers will melt and cool the water back down. The down fall is the fact that the glaciers are melting. I love hearing how the weather is so bad and getting worse, but if you look back we still have not broke some of the records of the past. I know that our enviroment is declining but at what rate is very questionable in IMO.

One fact that cannot be denied is that human caused climate change is a reality. And our enviroment is undergoing some serious changes, the results of which are still be be seen.
I'm concerned that as we bebate climate change and finally do figure out at what rate it will be too late...

I wish they would quantify the temp change rather than giving a meeningless satalite image for visual impact.
Twice in recent years, my tank has shot from a regular temp of 78 to over 90 degrees (92 and 94). The worst casualty was 3 years ago when my 20 head frogspawn completely melted to a bare skeleton when the tank hit 94. Oddly, I left the skeleton in the tank, and it regenerated from literally nothing into an equal sized animal that I've fragged a few many times now. I'll have to find the pics.
That experience always makes me skeptical when "they" simply blame water temperature. Yes, it's a factor, but probably less significant.
I wouldn't be surprized if it's really a microbial predator that thrives at higher water temps, or oxygen starvation because the water flow is relatively stagnant.

Nobody knows what's really going on but everyone has an opinion, an agenda, and a story to tell.
The climate constantly changes. To think that we have it figured out would be insanely arrogant. We should practice conservation at all costs but stories like this still pi$$ me off because it's a journalist with an angry "scientist" that are making huge assumptions.
