The headline says: "CO2 Hurts Reef Growth" but the article is pure conjecture with "ifs" and "mays". So why not "CO2 May Hurt Reef Growth"? Not sufficiently doom laden? Too much uncertainty?

Funny thing about that claim is that the first Coral Reefs were formed during the Devonian, when the waters were shallower and when CO2 levels were much, much higher than those of today. Where is the correlation in that???
