Trump’s voters have become like the members of the administration, delighting in the crassness and obscenity that pours out of the president and his circle whenever they are challenged. But policies suffer and the public is poorly served.

If y’all would take a second to read past scary headlines, you’d know that not all hope is lost to save coral reefs.
In fact, the authors behind the tipping point paper made sure to mention that we can still save remaining reefs by rapidly reducing emissions.
So don’t give up. The reefs need you.
