Coral reef creatures have evolved over hundreds of millions of the earth's dynamic history. The evolutionary record of reef creatures during the last few million years provides insight into how these creatures responded to major changes in climate. The current scientific perspective, that coral reefs will be extirpated by mid 21st century, is a consensus from both current in-situ experiments and observations as well as a multitude of empirical studies simulating future oceanographic scenarios.
