IT is probably too late to save the Great Barrier Reef and other coral reefs from global warming.

Even if governments implement far-reaching measures to cut greenhouse gas emissions, they will not prevent the annihilation of coral reefs around the world.

These are the conclusions of analysis by leading marine scientists to be published today in the prestigious journal Science.

All this crap about global warming is just another excuse for governments to dip into our pockets for more tax money.
What we, as a whole do to the enviroment doesn't have as much impact as they make out.
Sure we might advance the next ice age by maybe 50 to 100 years..big deal, it will still happen with or without our help.

We are, after all, between ice ages right now, so global warming isn't exactly unsurprising.

Then it looks like the fish and reef animals would slowly move to cooler waters and start over or the species would adapt, evolution has a away off adapting ..
