Individual coral polyps typically live at most only a couple of years, and the larvae (planulae) are very mobile, so coral are highly adaptable.

It has withstood CO2 levels both higher & much lower than present, temperatures both substantially warmer & much colder, and water levels both higher & much lower, than present.

Corals love warm water. Some coral inhabit temperate zones, but most prefer tropics. In fact, where there are seasons, corals grow fastest in summer.

Even the very warm southern Red Sea is dotted with healthy coral reefs (unlike the cooler Mediterranean). If you look at a map of coral reef locations, you'll see that they're clustered around the equator:

Now, do you recall this graph? Notice which ocean is least alkaline!

Warming is no threat to coral, either. At 7:20 in this BBC video you can hear how wonderfully healthy the coral are in warmest part of the very warm southern Red Sea, off Eritrea:

The scientific evidence is compelling that manmade #ClimateChange is modest & benign,and CO2 emissions are beneficial rather than harmful.
