This is what the carbon tax is supposed to alleveiate;
Shade cloth could be soon protecting coral from heat stress if scientists concerned about saving oceans from global warming have their way.
In a paper published in Nature Climate Change on Monday, Professor Hoegh-Guldberg and fellow researchers say current actions identified in national and international policy will not be enough to counter the impacts of the carbon dioxide emissions, if the trends continue.
Shade cloth could protect corals from heat stress, which leads to bleaching and death. Electrical current could stimulate coral growth and mitigate bleaching, and selective breeding or genetic engineering could help species develop biological resistance and adaptation, he says.

Just think where that one could go...
