Although this wasn't posted to the group but to me personally, I thought it informative that I reply to the group. There are at least 3 recent papers in Science and Nature that are consistent with a future warming scenario of 3.5 C or more over the next 100 years. Even the IPCC recognizes this as an eventuality if we continue doing business as usual. You are also wrong about lack of evidence for warming in the recent paleo-record.
Coral records show clear evidence of warming.
Bush is an idiot of the third order - can't expect much from him. As a trained Ph.D.-level marine biologist, I am aware of the loss of coral reefs and do not know the cause. Yes, but not in the sense that we have been using the term. My understanding is that you and others believe the an increase in the emission of CO2 and other greenhouse gases has caused an increase in global temperature. It is also difficult to accept global warming as a viable theory when global temperatures are less now then they were 1000 years ago regardless of the warming trend over the last century.
