   they did and it is entirly possible that the current variant of coral can not abide the higher levels of trace elements…… i would not bet against mother nature though.

     Glen, I don’t follow that.

     Current corals are doing just fine with current trace elements.
     What would cause higher trace elements and why wouldn’t corals cope?

     Glen,
     We should never bet against mother nature. Bikini Atoll corals thrive after nuclear blast. Some plants show etensive staure. Some corals extinct though. See my references below:

   It is interesting. While browsing on the subject I came across a well written article on atmospheric pressure and thick atmosphers. Steven will be happy to see it talks about our favorite AGW planet Venus.

   Cool. I’m looking forward to seeing the trilobites re-evolve.
