ive read alot of papers on coral reefs adapting to bleaching and i read one on how some of them have acclimatized to heated waters it was super cool it was a recent paper
I wish we could reduce carbon emissions enough to make these kinds of workarounds unnecessary, but I still think they're really cool! We've already reached a point where temperatures will continue to rise, so we might as well prepare for a certain amount of inevitability.
Remember a few years ago when every news source proclaimed that the eminent coral apocalypse was upon us? Whatever happened with that? It's been like 3 or 4 years and the great barrier reef is apparently still kickin. A brief search of news articles brought me to an article about the fact that tourists are regularly destructive towards Australian ecosystems. Makes me wonder if the government has played down direct human roles in Australian environmental degradation.
"As our oceans heat up..." So then why is the guy who insists it's all a hoax getting back into power? Check back in four years and we'll see if the country cares. I do, but then I'm on the losing side.
Corals have been around for literally hundreds of millions of years, through many warmer and cooler periods on earth. Why are they suddenly having problems now?
The issue is not change, but change at such an unnaturally accelerated pace that evolution cannot adapt fast enough. And sure, it's likely that even if we did nothing, a few corals would survive the extinction and the evolutionary line would not die out entirely and would eventually recover and rediversify, but it would still be catastrophic and take thousands of years if not millennia
There are dozens of reef building lifeforms that went extinct back than for the same reasons. Salt, heat, cold, acid. Ocean lvl rising and falling. The corals we have now didnt exist as plentiful before the extinction of the dinosaurs. Probably 10mio. Year ago when oceans were warmer diffirent corals lived in the oceans that like warm waters but then ice ages happened. Corals can and will bounce back but it takes a long time
@Concidineart Everything about that thumbnail is screaming ai. Look at the build plate, the extruder, the lines from the motors shooting up into nowhere, the comically oversized coral that goes beyond the build plate, the senseless buttons. Quit rage baiting
"We're a species who can look at coral reefs from space" is a good perspective to have.
When coral reefs get cooler upgrades than my living room.
I flooded my living room with cool water and it didn't make me less stressed
@@Vidar_Odinson Did you try turning the breaker off and on?
Coral reefs: "we're cooked"
Yup, we humans are bad on this planet.

Bioengineering coral and teraforming Mars. And then we do what we do at sea level.
I know what RaDAR is I am assuming a bit but LiDAR is the same thing essentially but they use light?
Yeah it uses lazers!

*Darpa has entered chat*
Hell yeah this dude rocks
Your videos are awesome!
Well this is after 1,000 weird ways science destroyed coral reefs.
Am I the only one getting serious science fiction vibes from a living entity that has been manufactured to spy on its living counterpart?
You seen the BBC/PBS _Spy in the Wild_ series?
@GSBarlev I have not.
I’m thinking the same 😂
@prapanthebachelorette6803 I thought as such.
I really 😂 love the side hand ✋️

I hope they make it🥴

instead of being a species that do everything you say at the end of the clip (5.44) shall we be a species that stop to f up it's own environment???
first
fart
brap
refug eee aaa
hmm- I think the thumbnail is AI generated
More likely photoshoped. They have artists hired for their thumbnails.
@Concidineart Then the artists are using AI
@matthewbaker7513 nothing about that thumbnail looks like AI.
@Concidineart Everything about that thumbnail is screaming ai. Look at the build plate, the extruder, the lines from the motors shooting up into nowhere, the comically oversized coral that goes beyond the build plate, the senseless buttons. Quit rage baiting
As someone who's doing a PhD on 3D printing of ceramics, that was exactly my thought.
