wasp Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 My daughter went on a dive trip there at Christmas, and told me she was struck by the amount of dead coral, and most of the rest was brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanksman Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Yep sad as ... and will only get worse. Leading weather scientists calling for a reduction in CO2 emissions to pre-industrial age levels. Well we definitely won't be reaching those levels any time soon.

lduncan Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Hey, maybe my favourite element iron can help reduce this problem. Have a look at the IronEx experiments. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/8.11/ecohacking.html This small experiment removed 2,500 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere in around two weeks! Just keep the iron away from the reefs, you don't want what's happened in the Caribbean to happen in other reefs. Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pies Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 If by we you mean mankind, than yes (goes x2 if your American). Not much we can do about it, sit back and watch the show. Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 (goes x2 if your American). Pie Not quite correct. The figures I read were that a child born in the US, will be 50 x as much a burden on the world environement, than a child born in India. Not quite sure where NZ will fit in to that, probably somewhere close to the US figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
