Summary:

"Unprecedented bleaching events on the Great Barrier Reef in 2016 and 2017 have resulted in mass coral mortality. The 2016 bleaching event was at least 175 times more likely to occur due to climate change. Rising sea surface temperatures over the past century have resulted in more frequent and prolonged global marine heatwaves. The future of coral reefs around the world depends on how much and how fast we reduce greenhouse gas pollution levels now and in the coming years and decades."--Publisher.
