If I had to guess I would think there are many events that could bleach a coral reef among them an undersea volcano which could warm and acidify the water. That would change the whole ecosystem and cause bleaching.
I suspect volcanoes are more a cause of global warming than we realize. One would hope before we spend trillions we could try and make sure.
Peter Ward has an interesting theory. You would think scientists would at least explore his ideas: conservatism.freeforums.net/thread/6538/peter-ward-why-climate-changes
That being said a green economy makes sense. Sustainability makes sense. Regulations to prevent pollution makes sense. Closing the ozone hole makes sense. The Earth is horribly polluted and getting worse.
Whatever the cause the Earth is heating up. A location in Canada hit 125.5 degrees yesterday which is unheard of. Last week my location hit an official 118 degrees but the official temp is usually a few degrees lower than reality as the temperature gauges were moved to cooler locations back in the 1990s when we started hitting the 120s. And we are running out of water after a 20 year drought.
Things are so dry in Arizona that we have had a series of fires. Last night our air was so smokey many people just stayed in their homes. It does make for a beautiful reddish Moon.
On top of all that millions from South and Central America are making their way to our border because of global warming, failure of their crops, no rain, etc. That really raises the blood pressure on American conservatives and then they start lashing out.
ok, I'm done. lol

We had an understandable problem in the 1860s when our then president and administration chose to drive their fleet of Continentals to all the battle sites. |

a smarter alternative: imagine all the coral reefs he could have saved in addition to the union
