Blaming it all on global warming doesn't seem to be completely honest.

From the article you referenced:

"While the study didn't examine the cause of the decline, Bruno said he believed it was driven by a range of factors including warming waters due to climate change. He also blamed storm damage, runoff from agriculture and industry, predators like fast-spreading crown-of-thorn starfish and diseases like White syndrome."

No doubt other "factors" affect reefs, just as factors other than humans affect climate change. That doesn't change my concern about global warming.

I have concerns about our planet. However, until all industrial nations decide to tackle ALL the problems (global warming is only one), there is no cure.
