Gaia's Callous Remover
Timothy Birdnow
Here is an interesting below-the-radar story; a giant piece of pumice the size of Manhattan is floating in the Ocean near Queensland, Australia.

First, that shows how the Earth can heal itself from periodic problems like reef loss. Second, it suggests someone with a major callous is having a heckuva good day!
Pumice, by the way, has a lot of air in bubbles and so floats in water.

A raft of rock, the size of 20,000 football fields is floating towards
Queensland. The pumice was created when an underwater volcano erupted
off Tonga. Scientists say it'll bring millions of new coral to the
Great Barrier Reef.

"Scientists say it'll bring millions of new coral to the
Great Barrier Reef."
Oh, good God, here we go again. One more proof that the word "scientist" has lost any trace of meaning whatever.
1. Is the raft going to pass over any coral reef where it could pick up coral larvae which it would then transport to the Great Barrier? Answer, no. 2. If it did, how many larvae would rise from the depth and attach to the floating pumice. Answer: probably half a dozen at most. Coral larvae don't float that high. 3. Of the ones that do, how many will survive the trip? Answer: none. 4. If any did survive, what are the chances they would land on the reef? Answer: About the same that I could jump over the moon. 5. If they did land on the reef, what are the chances that they would escape being eaten by a predator? Answer: miniscule. 6. If they did make the trip, did land on the reef, and weren't eaten by a predator, what would prevent them from being killed by the same factors that are presently killing the reef? Answer: duh.
