The Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest and one of the most biodiverse ecosystems, is already facing existential threats like severe coral bleaching that could destroy one of the natural wonders of the world.
But now there is even more bad news… A new study has found that the water around the Great Barrier Reef has hit the highest temperatures in 400 years over the past decade.
The science is clear: During five of the worst years for coral bleaching ever recorded, temperatures were significantly higher than anything dating back to 1618 (over 400 years ago!)
Based on this evidence, the researchers are warning that the reef likely won’t survive if global warming isn’t stopped soon, and we have to act quickly.
