Can corals adapt?

[Jim Hendee]

You may be interested in seeing the text of a recent debate on whether or
not corals can adapt to the increase in global temperatures.  The article
is  posted at Planet Ark:

Scientists quoted in the article are Dr. Terry Done, Dr. Ove
Hoegh-Guldberg and Dr. Hugh Sweatman, all from Australia, and the
discussion centers mostly around the condition and adaptability of the
Great Barrier Reef.

	Cheers,
	Jim
