I agree about Advance Australia. A careful reading of the posted link reveals that the LARGER southern region is in big trouble and dying. The other SMALLER sections ARE increasing, but with a type of coral that scientists feel will be very vulnerable to future conditions.
........So this is another environmental situation (like US forest health) that can be interpreted in either a pessimistic manner or an optimistic one. I believe that in 8 or 10 years the total environmental picture and man's deterioration of it will become so apparent that scientists and laymen alike will agree. That picture will come into clear focus!
........and to remind folks of one alarming man-caused environmental problem.......we have the war in the Ukraine - which LIKELY has led Russia to blow 4 holes in the gas pipeline sitting on the sea floor in order to let Europe freeze this winter. These pipeline ruptures are spewing methane gas straight into the upper atmosphere. That would be a good example of man-made Global Warming.
