"World Without Coral Reefs"

Did anyone see this article? I've never heard it put this way.

I had not seen that. And jaded though I sometimes am, the perspective of the article is something I hadn't heard before. The basic premise that the coral reefs are doomed, it's time to face that fact (and if I understand quit wasting money on the losing battle of conserving them & re-route it into exploiting whatever comes next for human food sources & other useful-to-humans purposes). My impression is a bit reductionistic/oversimplistic, granted. I'll be interested to see others' take on the article.

Go and see it before it's all gone (or before the next world war with China):
