Little on/off the subject, doesn't fragging reduce genetical diversity of the species, because you basically just have clones of the original.
Is there no way to get coral to sexually reproduce in captivity ?
Ok, seeing that we will never reintroduce these corals to the oceans, is biodiversity an issue?
What will we do when the earths surface water temp rises by 2-3 degrees. We might have to reseed the ocean one day.
I was watching a programme caled 6 degrees on national geographic. Concerning and I only threw that comment out as a possibility.
You know I think the minute we exclude possibilities the future might be very bleak:blushing:
From a previous thread it seemed the quantities would not be significant enough, but hey those could always spawn
The simple fact that, the globe is getting warmer, has done before, and will do again, (many many times over the last 500,000,000 years) and there are still corals/fish etc means one thing, no matter how much we panic or shout about global warming, it's far to late for us to actually do anything( or rather our govt's to do anything) but the world will recover, and we will be long gone
I suppose like all the other species that have gone extinct
No dont get me wrong I am not saying we must not do anything we have to do our part and all we can. However the earth has more time than any of us, it might take her 20 000years to heal but she will.
But neither do I want my kids not to see animals because we killed them.
I know there is only so much we can do as individuals and a lot of people still scoff at the idea of global warming. I find it hard to believe that the major contributors are not prepared to reduce there pollution. The USA being the biggest culprit.
