Between a rock and a hot place
Sad news about the Great Barrier Reef:
“…the Great Barrier Reef could be “functionally extinct” within decades, with deadly coral bleaching likely to be an annual occurrence by 2030.”
Stumble it!

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.
