We're losing warm water coral reefs and that's a tragedy, an absolute tragedy, on a scale we can't understand. It's like a million dodos, maybe a billion dodos. Not individuals, species. Those reefs are not only beautiful, they are a wealth of genetic diversity, they are homes to countless beings, they are an entire ecosystem whose loss we can pin to *us* and I don't think that's being appreciated by enough of us.
I don't believe the people making the decisions understand the scale of losing an entire biome, and how interconnected everything really is.
The last couple of days lots of reputable Canadian news sources have discussed the merits and pitfalls of his policy as if none of those people live on the same planet as all of us.
