Thanks for that. Anybody who has seen the deterioration of the coral reefs
can see that this effect is real. This is a good counterpoint to those who
might use the information I presented as an argument to do nothing. One
reason why we don't have as much climate sensitivity is sequestration in the
oceans which in turn damages them. Regardless of where we stand on how much
damage is being done we all agree there is damage being done. Thus, we must
find ways to decrease anthropogenic CO2 (and other greenhouse gases).
