- nvm0n2 3y agoYes, that's exactly how they played it with the Great Barrier Reef. It bleached, they said it was horrendously damaged in a way that would take a decade to recover, then three years later it was in rude health. Now journalists have lost interest in the GBR, aren't telling people what happened and are repeating the exact same scam with other reefs elsewhere. Reef bleaching is a natural process that has happened throughout their multi-million year history. The experts don't really understand it as they so dramatically demonstrated in Australia but the one thing that can be safely said is that it's not to do with global warming. It seems to be triggered by sudden temperature changes, not absolute levels of temperature or very slow changes (like the fraction of a degree per decade observed from temperature satellites).
