Warming Threatens the Great Barrier Reef Even More Than We Thought
2016-04-14 20:25:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: The iconic reef depends on protective pulses of warm water to boost its heat tolerance. Climate change may eliminate these "practice runs." This panoramic image reveals coral bleaching at Lizard Island on the Great Barrier Reef in March 2016. The current bleaching is the worst the reef has experienced in its history. When waters get too hot, corals stress out and turn a ghostly white, and to survive, they must complete a marathon-like feat of endurance. Now, for the first time, new research...

Oceans warming too fast for Great Barrier Reef
2016-04-14 20:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Home: Climate change risks disabling the protective mechanism of the world`s largest coral reef against spurts in sea temperature, according to a study. Bouts of gradual warming have spurred parts of the Great Barrier Reef to build heat tolerance, limiting the severity of bleaching and preventing die-offs. But more sudden increases in temperature seen by future scenarios were likely to skip this practice run, the study published in journal Science on Thursday said. Heat-stress causes coral to...

More Than 50 Percent of Great Barrier Reef Affected By Bleaching

Yale Environment 360: Great Barrier Reef Affected By Bleaching ARC Coral Reef Studies An aerial shot of the Great Barrier Reef in early April. Record high ocean temperatures in the western Pacific have caused more than half of the Great Barrier Reef to undergo a mass coral bleaching event this year, according to a team of Australian scientists conducting aerial surveys. Corals thrive in a narrow temperature range, and when waters warm above normal--as they have this year from climate change and a strong El Nino--the...

Great Barrier Reef: David Attenborough ignores politics and appeals to the heart
2016-04-11 04:48:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Do we really care so little about the Earth on which we live that we dont wish to protect one of its greatest wonders from the consequences of our behaviour? At the very end of Sir David Attenboroughs three-part documentary on Australias Great Barrier Reef, the 89-year-old asks this simple question, in his polite way, not pointing fingers at anyone in particular, just wondering. It is all that has gone before that gives his question such force. We have seen the remarkable, beautiful and...
