The GBR has survived many changes in climate perfectly well, because of its natural ability to adapt. Anyway, check the GBR sea surface temperatures for the last twenty years - flat. It seems that if you sympathize with the hysterics, you can say absolutely anything, no matter how stupid. @Chris Hancock: The point is that there are many things other than climate change that do far more damage.

If the reef responds well to no take zones, it must be immune from climate change! If only those marine biologists had such probing insight.

The episode last Friday night was devoted to alternative energy sources. And during the whole show, which discussed many and varied ways to create energy from sources other than fossil fuels, do you know how many times climate change was mentioned? Every time between ads? Only in the introduction? I've got the answer for you : not once at all was climate change mentioned. Clearly James May is not a global warming convert.
