[Coral-List] Coral Reefs WILL bounce back...for somebody else

[lesk at bu.edu]

James warns us that the claim that coral reefs are resilient and so 
will bounce back from human abuse, is false.

It is not false.  It is highly likely that coral reefs, or at least 
some kind of reef, will eventually adorn the earth's seas long after we 
destroy the ones we have now.

The point is that it is likely to be so long after as to be moot from 
any human perspective.
