lets award some more coal mine licenses. oh, maybe we should allocateanother $400M to save the reef. i’ll take the payment this time!
And of course drive the coal out through the middle of all the fragile reef, I wonder what the problem could be. Like really no idea /S
Not sure how to feel about this article really. So apparently there was an equally bad event four decades ago (which must’ve been an extreme event considering how much lower the CO2 levels were!?) and also even after this event;
due to increasing coral cover since 2017, the coral deaths—caused mainly by bleaching last year associated with climate change—have left the area of living coral across the iconic reef system close to its long-term average
… we’re still at average levels of corals??
