Another Blow for the Future of Corals

I have the good fortune to work on an island surrounded by &quot;super corals&quot;. The spawning this year seemed to be synchronized and right on schedule.<p>Life is adaptable, and while that does not excuse our behavior it does give me hope for the future of our reefs.<p>Reefs are the oldest ecosystems on the planet, they will survive the damage we are doing to the planet. Our species however may not.<p>If you are at all interested in coral conservation there are several organizations that organize reef cleanup, ghost net removal, and coral farming projects. I highly encourage you to consider volunteering some of your time during your next vacation. It&#x27;s a rewarding activity that will also have you working in some of the most beautiful locations in the world.

Nature is wonderful it always gives us signs of distress. But we as species who have transformed earth due to our behaviour are too late to take action on these signs.<p>Majority will trade distant future for today&#x27;s comfort. We only have hopes on minority warriors and scientists who see this sign and force us to take action before it&#x27;s too late.<p>Hopefully we do a better scientific study and take action as quickly as possible to first understand the signs and mitigate the effects to make our earth more balanced.<p>We as a society should have a stronger scientific temperament which will help us to take action. We should give up selfish behaviour and skeptics like the popular leaders in some countries denying climate changes by human for the sake of power, politics and votes.<p>We should denounce it, before we become extinct due to irreversible damage.

The reefs are already lost. We&#x27;ve already emitted enough GHG to raise temperatures sufficiently to kill most of them and there are no signs that we&#x27;ll stay below 2° of warming. At 2° all coral reefs will die.

Stuff changing too quickly is what makes an extinction event.
