So how exactly do we save the coral reefs from the natural cycle of warming that follows the previous cycle of cooling? What is their plan to stop the Earth from recovering from the last Ice Age?

How arrogant to think that in the four billion year history of this planet, with its wide range of high and low temperatures, the Earth’s natural, optimal temperature just happens to be the one they’re experiencing right now...and that they are powerful enough to change it by simply using different light bulbs.

That was over 10,000 years ago. Holocene temperatures have been very stable.

The last vestiges of the LIA may have persisted into the early 1900s.

And temperatures are one thing; corals are also imperiled by ocean acidification.

We’re actually well below the average temp of the earth for most of its geologic history. As it stands now, any warming is just the earth returning to its naturally warmer state. Why would we want to interfere and keep it cooler than average?

Give me global warming..... please.....
