The Great Barrier Reef is not destroyed, it's in excellent health. From the Australian government: https://www.aims.gov.au/sites/default/files/2022-08/AIMS_LTMP_Report_on%20GBR_coral_status_2021_2022_040822F3.pdf https://www.aims.gov.au/sites/default/files/2022-08/AIMS_LTM... "In 2022 the GBR continues to recover, registering the highest levels of coral cover yet recorded in the Northern and Central regions over the past 36 years of monitoring. While recovery continued on many Southern GBR reefs, regional coral cover declined slightly due to ongoing outbreaks of crown-of-thorn starfish." The idea that the reef is being destroyed by global warming has been proven false. When examined closely it turns out to be have been based on extremely low quality research. Data about the reef was only collected for short periods of time before scientists became willing to make very long term projections. Another big reason why people incorrectly believe CO2 has destroyed coral health was fraud by scientists: https://www.science.org/content/article/star-marine-ecologist-committed-misconduct-university-says https://www.science.org/content/article/star-marine-ecologis... Among the papers is a study about coral reef recovery that Dixson published in Science in 2014, and for which the journal issued an Editorial Expression of Concern in February. Science—whose News and Editorial teams operate independently of each other—retracted that paper today. The investigative panel’s draft report, which Science’s News team has seen in heavily redacted form, paints a damning picture of Dixson’s scientific work, which included many studies that appeared to show Earth’s rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels can have dramatic effects on fish behavior and ecology. “The Committee was repeatedly struck by a serial pattern of sloppiness, poor record keeping, copying and pasting within spreadsheets, errors within many papers under investigation, and deviation from established animal ethics protocols,” wrote the panel, made up of three UD researchers.
