[Coral-List] Two news stories about coral reefs

[Paul Sammarco]

Dear Folks,

This is basically correct.  One of the largest consumers and combusters of
petroleum hydrocarbons is our jet fleets throughout the world.  The CO2
mentioned below is released primarily in the upper atmosphere - at
25,000-35,000 ft or so.  

Cheers, 

Paul

Number 1 should be, stop flying in commercial jets from all over the world,
emitting tonnes of co2 to see the reef.
