Hawaii Corals More Adaptable Than Expected
#1
Scientists in Hawaii tested corals for increasing ocean temperatures, and the results were promising, offering "a shred of hope."  Buying  & burning less $5.00/gallon gas should help them too.

New research, in which scientists spent 22 months studying several types of corals in Hawaii, suggests that several species, absent other stressors, could survive even if the world warms up 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit on average. That temperature mark is the goal for limiting warming that was set by world leaders in the Paris Agreement.

The problem with adaptation isn't the change -- it's the rate of change.

Coral is calcium based.

CO2 absorbed by oceans is an acid.
