Is the Great Barrier Reef dieing?
In the past two years the Great Barrier Reef has had two large bleaching events, which is the result of the coral not being healthy. Scientists say that the rising sea temperatures is to blame. In the back to back bleaching events of 2016 and 2017 have devastated a large stretch of the Reef's UNESCO World Heritage site, over 1,500 km. This is certainly a horrible thing to see happen to such a beautiful and beloved reef, and who knows how much worse it could get. What do you think about all of this, do you think global warming and rising sea temperatures are to blame, or do you think it is being caused by something else?
