gas which absorbs and emits infrared radiation, and thereby warms the surface of the Earth and lower atmosphere. As a result of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, the atmosphere is heated and a great amount of the heat is absorbed by the ocean, causing the sea surface temperature to increase. Rising sea surface temperature breaks the symbiosis between coral and their symbiotic zooxanthellae and results in rapid coral bleaching. (Buddemeier, Kleypas, & Aronson, 2004) If the rise in water
