> The Great Barrier Reef is already de-bleaching How I wish this was the true picture, but unfortunately science paints a picture that is much worse: Apr 7, 2020 'The scale of bleaching is enormous during global bleaching events,' according to Professor Hughes, 'the situation brings me to despair.' The first recorded mass bleaching along the Reef struck in 1998, at the time the hottest year on record. Then again in 2002, 2016 and 2017, as more temperature records were broken. The latest follows February’s unusually hot summer–resulting in the highest ever sea surface temperatures recorded on the Reef since controls began in 1900. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tamarathiessen/2020/04/07/great-barrier-reef-coral-bleaching-climate-change-tragedy/#33224c5e71b0 https://www.forbes.com/sites/tamarathiessen/2020/04/07/great...
