Coral Catastrophe

Several points worth noting here:

1) all participants were fully armed with personal firearms
2) monotheism is triumphant and "capitalism" is my middle name
3) the CO2 effects are making things so bad
that the ocean may not be able to absorb as much CO2 as expected thus making the CO2 effects worse
4) thus constructing yet another CO2-to-heating run-away feedback loop

Frankly, I just got sea-sick, called for a pick-up from Space Command, got up here to my keyboard and felt well...nothing but sadness:
