news.nationalgeographic.com— Common sunscreen ingredients awaken dormant viruses in the algae that keep corals alive, killing the algae and causing reefs to bleach, a new study says.

Sponges don't harness energy from the sun... corals have symbiotic algae growing in them that needs sunlight. Stop smoking weed for a minute and turn off spongebob, then go watch f**king blue planet or something.
@ DAaaMan64 (we've hit the Digg nesting limit):Well...this is on a single-core 1.25GHz Mac laptop that's over four years old. If you're experiencing performance issues on any recent system, something is wrong with your software.I was amazed at the Digg comments rendering difference between Safari 2 and 3. In Safari 2, Digg comment expansion hung the browser so badly it was completely unresponsive for minutes at a time. (Other apps were not affected and continued to run fine.) In Safari 3, comments expand after a short, unremarkable delay. There must have been some JavaScript optimization in the browser, because nothing else changed.
No not every time, but often enough that I something is wrong. It happens when I have a few tabs open. But it wouldn't freeze at all if it would just render comments without needing such an intense script. The problem is the browser just literally stops responding for several seconds. Usually my process is going through every story on the front page and open tabs in the background until i have get to the stories I've read already. This is when it happens.
@CiXeLKilling everyone stupid is a step above eugenics which tends to be looked down upon. I'm sorry but I can not justify criminalizing ignorance and stupidity at any level I and am 100% against the death penalty, do you really want to give the government the power to decide who lives and who dies? It could be argued that ignorance and stupidity are states of intellectual being and as such, while we may despise them, we can not criminalize them if we want to truthfully call ourselves a free society. We can however criminalize the actions that stupidity and ignorance cause if they create damage to another individual's person or property. The solution here is property, what if someone had owned that coral? They could be able to level damage against that person for damaging their property.Greed and selfishness only cause damage in a collectivist society, in a individualist society they in fact do the reverse.
is there any alternative for sunscreen? coral is place for highly commercial fish settled, its for food. if no alternative to sunscreen, better not sunbathing in beach...
