Yes the numbers are off- even from post to post- much less the article. the statment "80% of the oceans reefs have died from ocean acidification and warming" False. Perhaps one could argue of the 20% of reefs that have declined 80% of those were caused by warming and acidification- but that is playing with numbers and trying to obsfucate or prove theories rather than the scientific method of disproving theories. The sad thing is ever aquarist knows that corals adapt to ranges and changes in temp and PH in their tanks that are 10x the amount the oocean has suffered. The reefs evolve,grow and recede. Animals not successful in the enviorment that exists are overcome by those that do. Some people can only keep mushrooms in their systems- some can keep sps- saying one tank- or one oceans species compliment is better than the other is mere judgement. Just like the earth has survived volcanos and everything else- it will survive humans. Conciousness does not imply dominion,and what you or I think makes no difference to the earth as a whole- no more than does the extinction of any organism. I am sorry you don`t like the tanked guys- I dont either-but they are not effecting anything. They are a tiny percent- and I have had no one come to me wanting to cram fish in a tank because of them. Just like none of my motorcycle buddies who watch orange county choppers have tried to put long forks on their bikes. Educate people about the reality and beauty of the ocean- that will encourage conservation. Telling of mass death and disbelievable %s is likely lowering your impact.
