  1. I say let it die, it might teach us a lesson. Then again, it probably won’t.

  2. I went snorkeling in Biscayne National Park six years ago and it was beautiful. There was coral growing on the sea-walls and schools with literally hundreds of good-sized fish. I went back two years later and there were no fish, there was algae growing everywhere there had been coral, I caught an antibiotic resistant flesh eating bacteria and spent time in hospital and three others died of it. This was from fertiliser runoff from all the big corporate farms in the middle of the state. They lease their land from the state for $1 per 100 acres per year, and with that deal, our governor doesn't even require them to build retention ponds on the property to contain their toxic pollution. I will never go back to Miami.

  3. He was about to say switch to electric cars

  4. But Florida doesn't believe in global warming.

  5. Rotten Ron is doing nothing to protect his state from climate catastrophe.

  6. Sounds like more funding for establishing coral in large tanks is needed; also for developing the temp / pollution resistant coral of the future to reseed the wild.

  7. Helping Coral Reefs with geneology? I don't like that idea as it sounds like playing God with the ocean's environment except on a miniature scale by beach side. I believe in the researcher's intent with their main goal, but.. I doubt that would help more than it would resolve the coral reef's problem.

  8. Well it's SHALLOW WATER!!! Hawaii has a DEEP COOL ocean that just bus up hurricaine storm Calvin. We got a little bit of rain out of it.

  9. Floridians are too stupid to care😂

  10. The Atlantic will be even hotter next summer. El Niño is just beginning and it won't be ending anytime soon. War is a destructive fossil fuel festival. Roll out the Weapons Of Mass Cool-Down. Climate Change Is Here And Now. 🔥🌊💥

  11. Think about all those tires they threw out in the ocean to try to make an artificial reef that just leaks forever chemicals into the ocean

  12. Well then don’t have tourism in the area and let the ocean heal. It’s not that difficult.

  13. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's a 1,2,3 punch to this entire world. This world is ending, it's a train wreck!

  14. Florida should use all its resources fighting Mickey Mouse.

  15. Climate change is the problem, is what they're saying as they get into their F-150 with a V8 🙄

  16. Goodness profits for America’s 200 richest families is more important than coral. Get your priorities straight.

  17. Earth's been here how long ????? I'm betting that's its happened many times. Keep pushing the doom and gloom.

  18. Blame it on wokeism.
