The Great Barrier Reef in Trouble

After looking at another post I found this.

Anyone know anything about this?
I feel like this has been an issue for years and no one does anything about it.

Find one that refutes this. 29% of the GBR was lost to bleaching in 2016. That's fact. It's not a matter of opinion.

Very true.

No it's not true at all. There was a meta-analysis done recently on articles related to climate change. They basically tallied up how many articles (actual published articles in peer reviewed journals) were written about climate change in 1 year and counted how many supported climate change and how many refuted it. There were something like 26,000 total articles written in 1 year and a whopping 82 refuted it. The rest were all in support. There is no such thing about debate between scientists. Climate change is real and it is harming reefs as we speak.

Just stating that there are many different opinions. I believe and I know the coral reefs are dying off and I want to do something about it. Already donated $100 and planning to donate more.

People need to know and learn about the coral reefs. People need to know whats going on, the damage that is happening to the most diverse ecosystem on earth.

It is a political issue. The truth is out there somewhere, but it is a political issue.

Some researchers believe the great barrier reef dye off is due to the nuclear leakage after the Japanese tsunami
