    During the cold weather snap we had here in Florida last week, the water temperature never dropped below 71-72F, in the summer it goes up to about 85-88. Not sure if that is enough changed to effect the coral. Boats I know destroy them as well as star fish and other creatures.

    I know it will take a few years to tell if a mini ice age is happening again. This cold does make one think though, hard to prove global warming while a good part of the world is freezing.

    I agree, but what change will occur? (remain the same, get warmer or get colder) What are we trying to prevent? Global Warming or Global Cooling. What could we do if this is another one of those mini ice ages happening again?

I see where you grumble a lot about little things going on in Canada, but not much substance about how you can solve anything logically. It seems to always be someone else's...
