PS, The equator is always warmer than the poles. Figure it out for yourself

Some facts that you might not know :
Many coral species die as soon as the water temperature reaches 30° C.
16 percent of the world coral reefs died in just one year (1998), due to El-Niño.
In 1998 this mass death was still a local phenomenon. Example : Chagos Reef ind the Indian Ocean lost 90% of its coral.
By 2000, with the continuation of abnormal high water temperatures, 27 percent pf the world coral reefs had died.

16 percent of the world coral reefs died in just one year (1998), due to El-Niño.

So? It only takes a few to survive through any excursion to assure the continuation of coral or any other species.

And this is your evidence that there never has been an iceage or warmer periods??

Coral continues to survive regardless of local phenomenon or even the excursion of a global order for there have obviously been areas on the earth for species to survive regardless of the extremes in localities. 10% made it Chagos Reef, in only takes a few to assure a survival adaptation across geological time.

And you can believe whatever graphics you want to be true. ... But I still believe facts and nothing but facts.

Facts like those I see daily outside my home of the glacial moraine left over from the last iceage you choose to ignore.

If I look behind my home I can see deposits with fossils of warm water critters I collected as a youngster from an earlier warm sea and a much warmer global climate.

If I wish, I need only travel a few miles to find the mountains of sea shells from that warm sea laid over a coal bed containing the impression of tropical ferns of a very ancient swamp from an even earlier warm period with the gravel & boulders left by glaciers between.

Very graphic indeed. Charts in stone no less of what those charts of temperature proxies from polar ice say.

Hard facts, a natural graph of stone no less, testifying to that which you chose to be blind to.
