Quote of the week
The reefs tell the story of how life began and record many of the
catastrophes through which it has struggled. As human folly threatens
their paradise with premature demise such places remind every one of us,
pessimist or otherwise, that our own extinction is as certain as is
theirs. Whether it will take place in the slow course of evolutionary
time, or in the near future as our own imprudence causes Nature to take
her revenge, neither Newton nor Darwin can say. [Steve Jones, Coral:
A Pessimist in Paradise]
