Tasmania is the southern most island state of Australia and cold. I was
just at our news site and came across the following. Might be of
interest to someone here?

If I have interpreted the story correctly, it sounds as if they are
saying that reefs are extending into areas which were previously too
cold to support a coral reef.
This is something that I have never really thought about. Most
environmentalists warn about the loss of coral reefs from global
warming due to the overheating of waters. If this story is true, then
it suggests that coral reefs will simply "migrate" or spread to areas
which historically have been too cold to support coral reefs.
Interesting.....

That's the way I took it and I hope it is correct. There was snow in
Tasmania last night. We've had a very mild winter here this year so far.

When coral reef are growing in Alaska, the earth and humans in general
will be in very bad shape, if we are even still around.
