CNN - People & Coral Don't Mix

[dknape]

There was an interesting article in CNN today, August, 15th, 2003.
CNN Link - People & Coral Don't Mix (http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/science/08/14/environment.reefs.reut/index.html)

Interesting that the destruction of reefs started so long ago.

That link doesn't work anymore and I couldn't find it by searching CNN. There are almost 300 articles with at least the word "coral" in them at CNN. But...

here's another site with an article of that title:

Forest fires, African dust, bleaching due to warming conditions. Sounds like nature is changing. Sure people caused some of this, but a lot is due to changing climates on the planet. God works in mysterious ways, but this is only in his plan. Who knows if the reefs will die, hopefully they won't, but if they do they died for a reason, and will soon be replaced by the next ecological wonder. Some things we can control, but others are just natures way of weeding out the old to bring in the new. That's just my two cents.;)
