[Coral-List] Fwd: IPCC and reefs

[Douglas Fenner]

I agree, I think this is a good discussion, and I hope more people who
normally don't post will post their thoughts.  It does take a lot of
knowledge and expertise to figure out much of the technical aspects of
climate change, and that is not the specialty of most of us.  So we would
appreciate those who do have the knowledge and expertise, posting to inform
us when there is something that needs correcting.   Thanks!   Cheers,  Doug
