You know more than the majority of Nobel Laureate Scientists? I don't think so. I think you're worried about the economy, which is a legitimate worry, but instead of being honest and saying it's worth f*ing up the environment to you, you say the environment will be just fine.
"Global Warming, El Nino Destroy Coral in Belize"
The Orlando Sentinel, May 4, 2000
"The highest sea temperatures ever recorded, which scientists suspect were caused by global warming and the El Nino weather phenomenon, have destroyed coral in Belize for the first time in 3,000 years. American scientists, reporting in the science journal Nature on Wednesday, said temperatures reaching up to 88.7 degrees bleached the Belizean barrier reef causing the coral to collapse and endangering the fragile marine environment. 'There is growing concern that global climate change is degrading coral reef ecosystems, with coral mortality increasing as a result of bleaching and emergent diseases. Our results from Belize appear to justify this concern,' said Richard Aronson of the Dauphin Island Sea Lab in Alabama."
