  1. Re:Acidification and warming waters on Great Barrier Reef Gets $379 Million Boost After Coral Dies Off (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    No, because it's not just the coral. eg it's also about the algae that they're co-habiting with. The coral and the algae get a long fine until the water warms. Then the algae they've partnered with grows out of control and turns against the coral. Fish species are also affected by the change in algae proportions and different kinds of algae become rampant.

    Reefs are very complex and problems cannot be solved in isolation, and definitely not in localized prodding.

    Are you a fucking retard?

    We know the scientific causes of the mass die off. Why? Because of the scientists that have studied it. It doesn't take a genius to hear what they're saying, and see that none of the funding is addressing the root causes of the die off.

    Does simple reading comprehension hurt your brain?

    Yeah, and none of that would help because it all starts from the acidification and warming happening at far larger scales than just the reef.

    Exactly how is giving money for direct efforts going to help in any way at all? You can't remove acid and cool down the water with money.

    You need to read better. The title says "Display Images Alongside Text".

    Following your own link: https://www.w3.org/People/Bern...

    The inline images such as the world/book icon and the CERN icon, would have been displayed in separate windows, as it didn't at first do inline images.

    Funny how you just assumed you know what my stance on Chinese medicine is.

    Apparently, according to you, people are simply not allowed to criticize Western medicine. Not even when it is Western science journals themsevles highlighting the dearth of reproducible clinical evidence for many Western medicines, like vitamin and mineral supplements, to cancer treatments, to diet that gets overturned every few years.

    If you think Western medicine is flawless, I have a bridge in Florida to sell you. Dickhead.

    Libertarians like Peter Thiel keeps proving my adage right: libertarians are just monarchs waiting to happen.

    The fact that you're saying "what about now" is precisely what's wrong with climate change denial. Things don't happen immediately, and those kind of things don't have immediate fixes.

    It's real pollution. Those ads chew up processing power on the client, and transmission power over the network.
