Interesting Esra. Since the two ladies are here already, it might not be politically correct to note that "male is the King" even for the sex switchers.

I am amazed that the rise in the temperature of the Oceans of 1 degree Fahrenheit over the past 100 years could cause a die off of over 1/4 of the Corals in the world. In fact the learned Professor just might be making some false assumptions.
I am voting for changing chemistry of the ocean due to pollutants being absorbed and thus changing ( poisoning their environment ) the environment being more the culprit than Global Warming. More severe temperature fluctuations have occurred than what we have witnessed so far. And I speaking of before man was here to pollute. Corals not only survived, they flourished.
Something to think about.
