EcoWatch: When we talk about climate change all too often we focus on carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas. But there is a much more potent greenhouse gas, methane, which is much more efficient at trapping radiation than CO2. Some estimates put it at 87 times more potent over a 20 year lifetime than carbon dioxide. And who is the biggest culprit for releasing methane in the U.S.? It is the oil and gas industry, which is the largest industrial source of methane pollution in the country, releasing 33 percent...
Unprecedented': Third straight year of global coral bleaching to target U.S. reefs, scientists say

Washington Post: The longest-lasting known global coral bleaching event has caused vast damage so far -- including large swaths of dead corals in the northern sector of the iconic Great Barrier Reef. Now federal scientists expect the coral bleaching to continue across key reefs in U.S. states and territories this summer, in some cases for a third straight year -- a likelihood the scientists call unprecedented. All Northern Hemisphere U.S.-coral reefs are on alert for coral bleaching this year, said Mark...
Widespread coral bleaching event to hit US hard for third straight year

Mongabay: The global coral reef bleaching crisis is about the get worse. The catastrophic event that began in mid-2014 is likely to continue this year, scientists from the the US National Ocean and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) warn. This is because sea temperatures will remain higher-than-normal for an unprecedented third consecutive year, they say. Coral reefs in the U.S. will be hit especially hard, according to NOAA. Reefs in Hawaii, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Florida...
Dying Coral Reefs Likely To Be Walloped For Third Year In A Row

Huffington Post: Coral reefs, already reeling from a two-year global bleaching event that has left large swaths of ocean biomes dying or dead, will likely continue to suffer during a third year of warmer oceans, researchers warned Monday. Key reefs, particularly those around the U.S., will likely face widespread destruction as the third global bleaching event in recorded history continues, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said. Warm oceans have wrought havoc on the planet's coral since mid-2014,...
