Tropical reef corals are moving toward the poles to escape climate change, study finds

Reef corals in equatorial regions are going to start moving towards the poles as climate change takes hold, scientists have said. By analyzing the ranges of reefs from the fossil record, researchers were able to build a picture of how these systems respond to climate change—and then project how they might respond under future global warming.

The study, published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, examines the fossil record for how organisms respond to different climate states over vast timescales. Looking at the last period of global warming—the Last Interglacial, around 125,000 years ago—researchers found that reef corals moved towards the poles as oceans got warmer.

Models showed that reef corals—which are the building blocks of coral reefs, sort of like trees in a forest—were greatly impacted in the equatorial regions, and this appears to be driven by sea-surface temperatures. The team predicts a substantial number of habitats suitable for reef corals will be lost as a result of warming.

'to escape climate change' = Colossal load of BS!

Lay off the 'shrooms Newsweek

Are they using professional movers like United Van Lines?

Typical Fake News. When a news outlet has a Globalist-Leftist agenda, they distort everything. Climate change has been happening for 4.5Byrs. Corals have been around for 100s of Myrs far warmer than our Ice Age interglacial. ClimateBasics

Bleaching is a natural event that corals quickly recover from. Many of the best coral reefs in the world are in warmer water than the great barrier reef, so corals have evolved to cope with a wider range of temperatures than is assumed. We have had little global warming anyway.

Which study supports your headline claim, you seem to have omitted it from the article?

Whole continents have drifted thousands of miles in the past and are still on the move. Geology trumps CO2 climate tosh every time. Mount Haleakala on Maui rose 5,000 metres from seabed and 3,000 metres into the air. Why would anyone care if a coral reef moved a little?

So am I
