The Great Barrier Reef is still suffering extensive damage caused by warming oceans
Let us all remember that the Earth is 4.5 billion, yeah, with a B, years old. It has been here long before us and it will be here long after us.
If we are causing problems and changing things the Earth will survive and adapt as it has done for all these eons.
I think all too often climate change is mentioned and we are meant to feel guilty... and we should, but not for the reason we think. If we are causing species to die out and greenhouse gases to multiply those are terrible things and should be stopped because that is the responsible thing to do. We all need to do something that most people seem very unwilling to do these days and that is take responsibility for our own actions and then all of us need to take responsibility collectively for our planet.
Even if we don't, however, the Earth will survive. Species and climates will adapt, new ebbs and flows will develop.
Some of the coral in the Great Barrier Reef will survive and it will be the genesis of a whole new and amazing life system under the sea.
We are merely one of many catalysts for change on this planet. Let us take responsibility where we should and let the Earth handle the rest.
