    this kind of news article just sets my hair on fire. i mean how much time to we have left to turn it all around – is it even possible any more. the main coral reefs in australia and the carribbean are several of the places i’d like to visit while alive…while they’re still alive…and i wonder what the long term oceanic consequences are of a world with say only 30-60% or less of its coral reefs functioning. we may live to see it and find out.
