Climate models tell us that a rise of 160 PPM from 390 to 550 PPM will increase temperatures by up to 10C. During the Cambrian, CO2 levels were above 4,000 PPM – so it is safe to extrapolate that the corals which evolved during the Cambrian must have been able to survive concentrated seaacid near or above the boiling point.
Sadly, corals are now very sensitive creatures, and a rise of just 1C will kill them all.
(Your tax dollars are being used to fund some of the stupidest creatures which ever walked the face of the earth.)
…and they are put into little plastic bags and shipped all over the world
and people keep them now like goldfish
Climatologists or Corals?
Yeah, I used these calculations on a WUWT comment to prove that all life on Earth was of far more recent origin that we had been led to believe. Clearly nothing could have survived during those times. It was only since CO2 consistently dropped below 400 or so that life developed. Maybe there IS something to “Creationism,” since life hasn’t been around long enough to properly evolve, or it evolves much faster than we think.
Probably various mass extinctions were caused by increased CO2 scorching life from the face of the planet. Life was able to come back when CO2 dropped to “reasonable” levels.
Need I say it?

All those fossils were created to make people think the world is older than it really is.
The world is only 30 years old and our memories were implanted to make us think we are older! History really did start in 1980!
How did the world start? Here’s how:
This reminds me of the models used in Toronto to determine the Morbidity and Mortality rates due to pollution. When they used the models with data from the 1970′s they Mortality rate for the year was much greater than the actual. Dr Ross McKitrick did an excellent study on this that had all of the loons in a thither. It was called Where Are The Bodies? Great stuff.
At the beginning of the Cambrian the Climate was a cool to mild, then Global warming set in, there was a rapid explosion of plant and animal life, in the Oceans a wide variety of trilobites, crustaceans and early molluscs developed while Jellyfish and Sponges floated about. There were no land plants or animals at the time, no trees, no flatulent Brontosaurus and no camels they developed later (well except for the Brontosaurus, but the Apatosaurus did) the worlds plants consisted of mainly of various algae and seaweed.
Following on from the Cambrian there was the Ordovician During this period there was an ice age, it is also where the animal world developed and where multicellular graptolites became the predominant life form in the deeper waters and in the shallow seas various kinds of Trilobites were the dominant life-form, these were arthropods of which there were more than 1.500 genera, over 100.000 species that mainly lived on animal and plant remains.
Following on from the Ordovician is the Silurian which was the third period of the Paleozoic era, The Climate was mostly warm and humid but became drier towards the end of this period. Among the ocean inhabitants in this period include the first graptolites in the deep. And Trilobites and simple corals in the shallows, these simple corals built up huge reefs at this time which later died out during the Triassic 250 million years ago (NOT due to global warming but I’ll get to that) and were replaced by the modern corals that can be found today around Earths warm oceans. The beginnings of land plants also grew in this period.
The Climate in the northern hemisphere during the Devonian period of the Paleozoic era was mostly warm and there are signs that there was glaciation in the area of the south pole. The land plants from the Silurian that developed numerous species such as ferns and Psilophytales later in the Devonian period also now grew as trees.
The Carboniferous period had a climate that was tropically hot and humid like the Amazon rain forest is today except that there were no flowers (they hadn’t been invented, no hippies you see /jk) , it is noted that around this time there was an increase in the activity of Earths crust. The animal and plant life consisted of Giant Millipedes, Spiders, primitive Dragonflies and other insects. It was in this environment that primitive vertebrates (amphibians and reptiles) developed. during the transition into the Permian period a large landmass consisting of North America, India, Africa, Australia and Antarctica what was then the south pole was covered in huge masses of Ice called the ‘Permo-carboniferous glaciation’.
In the Permian the last period of the Paleozoic era the super continent Pangaea was surrounded by a vast global ocean called Panthalassa. Corals, large single celled organisms and ammonites still existed. Large coral-like formations formed from Brachiopods as well as various molluscs and many of these had died out by the end of the Permian.
Following the Paleozoic era was the Mesozoic Era which Included the Triassic, the Jurassic and the Cretaceous periods.
No no no. You don’t get it. None of your info can be reconciled with the SETTLED SCIENCE (even if Gavin says it isn’t settled) of CAGW. By definition the world was uninhabitable for most of that period, a possible exception being the snowball Earth. If such was a real event. When CO2 was low.
As Steve says, the concentrated, heated acid of the oceans and the super-heated atmosphere would have killed of pretty much everything.

Nope it’s man made!
‘a cool to a mild’!! Yikes.. lol
Perhaps they should see if any coral survived the 23 atomic and thermonuclear infernos from fission and hydrogen bombs in the South Pacific.
Or is Bikini Atoll a barren reef? Nope …
The corals, being able to thrive after a nuclear detonation, will be around long after humanity has been relegated to the dust bin.
Ironic, that we hear, and see, of corals, off of American shores, having died due to cold ocean temps. last Winter rather than being “burned to death” due rising ocean temps. as we have all been told would occur.
