[Coral-List] Great Barrier Reef is rapidly loosing coral

[Steve Mussman]

   For the purpose of clarification.
     * I was referring to Dr. Walter Starck (not Stark).
     * I did not intend to caste aspersions, but he didn't strike me as a
       totally objective scientist.
     * I could be wrong.
     * Perhaps there are no objective scientists when it comes to climate
       change.
     * But I think there are.
     * For  purposes  of  disclosure,  I  tend to agree with this study's
       conclusions.
