A global plan to save coral reefs from complete eradication caused by climate change, pollution and poor fishing practices launched today at The Economist World Ocean Summit in Bali. The initiative, called 50 Reefs, brings together leading ocean, climate and marine scientists as well as conservation practitioners from around the world to develop a list of the 50 most critical coral reefs to protect.
50 Reefs will be the first global plan to save the most biodiverse ecosystem on the planet. The final list and corresponding initiatives, to be announced later this year, will raise awareness of the increasing severity of climate change impacts on the ocean and catalyze the global action and investment required to protect these important reef systems for the future.
The launch comes at a perilous moment for coral reefs, as current estimates indicate that 90 percent will disappear by 2050. A unique philanthropic coalition of innovators in business, technology and government are supporting 50 Reefs, led by Bloomberg Philanthropies with The Tiffany & Co. Foundation and The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, with the aim of preventing the worst economic, social, and environmental impacts of this enormous crisis.

There isn't much of a story behind the making of this song ..... I was still in the optimum song writing mode after the completion of The Devil's Dance and so I went with a more upbeat beat and then just rocked this one to the finish line
LYRICS : In my motor mind I can climb so high. I can jump right up and baby touch the sky.
In my motor mind when I'm feeling high, I can bring you up as I fly on by.
In my motor mind I can climb so high. I can jump right up and baby touch the sky.
In my motor mind when I'm feeling high, I can bring you up as I fly on by.
We'll take a ride from Hades to Heaven. We'll grab some grub from 7 11.
We'll take a ride from Hades to Heaven. We'll grab some grub from 7 11.
Repeat verses.
