On the other hand, just because the coral reefs seem "fine" today doesn't mean they will be in 2 weeks. Referring to the recent mass die off of corals off the Florida Keys, Dr. Cory Krediet, a professor of marine science who studies corals had this to say:
> “The health of the coral is at a catastrophic loss,” Krediet said. “This is an unprecedented level of temperature increase and it happened at a rate that the corals cannot deal with. We went from healthy reefs to bleach reefs and dead reefs within 10 days.”

And the temperature just keeps going up. It might be months, years, maybe even a couple decades, but things keep looking worse and worse for the corals, and we're not doing enough to stop it.
