  • I'm agree with the guy below me!!! species million years ago face worst condition than the ones we will face.

    My point is, species will find out how to survive as they did million of years ago. but off course we can help by trying to screw things up less. :D

  • reasons for coral death so far ive found are:

    temperature, nutrient defficencies, inadequate lighting, inadequate water movement, inadequate water parametres, any more that can be added to this list? i want to get to the bottom of this coral bleeching. surley it couldent be nitrate deficiencies from over fishing? have global sea temperatures actually risen? or is this a farse... been watching some vids about the climate change debate, against raises in temperature.

  • i do agree wth u guys struggle for saving the coral concerning global warming.

    but..."STOP CLIMATE CHANGE"..?? c'mon..u guys need 2 think again th sentence. u will cannot stop the climate change, it is the God's business!! if u dont believe in God, still that the accumulation of anthropogenic behaviors has made climate change!!

    so, WE CAN NOT STOP CLIMATE CHANGE!! we only have attemp to play a role how we can more tolerate with climate change. thats the only point that all of us have to do!

  • Some more to add.

    Chain reactions in a reef:Overfishing/bomb fishing(famous in phil)/cyanide fishing=leseer fishes=lesser fish poo=lesser phytoplankton=lesser zooplankton=Deaths of bleached corals

    Or:Coastal development=sediments=less light passing through=Corals can't have light to photosynthesize=Death of corals

  • Oh and bleached corals will not take years to heal it's months.Look over here.People who have taken care of mini reefs will have faced that when given good lighting and food which is zooplankton,corals will have a chance of recovery.Anyway our tanks have lesser plankton than the sea.Just give the corals chance without overfishing and stuffs.Fish poo helps in zooxanthellae growth and producing more phytoplankton which will lead to more zoo plankton

  • Like people against religion cause they believe in science.Sometimes scientists also gave out wrong infos.We must face it ourself in order to believe.That is what people do if they don't believe it.

  • Forgot to add too.Did you know your good cholesterol meal Giant clams are zooxanthellate?They don't bleached like what corals are cause their zooxanthellae can survive in variable temperatures.Go dive into marine reef keeping world to understand more about the reefs.You can't rely on what people say usually.

  • I have to agree with that.Don't you guys realised that corals have evolved from the ice age to the melting of ice and throuigh more than we humans ever faced.Let's face it.Give the corals time without disturbing and changing the global temperatures drastically they will survive.Cause the global temperatures changed 2-3 deg celcius per 10 years.Without overfishing we may be able to save the corals.Fish poo helps them grow little by little.

  • no one can stop global warming. our world is messed up due to people who just don't give a flying f---!." unfortunately"

    just love the you're with!
