Guardian: Australias lack of follow-through on climate change will leave the Great Barrier Reef completely cooked despite it signing the Paris climate deal, the Greens say. The federal environmental minister, Greg Hunt, has joined leaders from 170 other countries in New York to sign the Paris Agreement to limit global warming by at least 2C. Hunt says Australia will beat its Kyoto emission reduction targets by 78m tonnes and meet a 2030 target of reducing emissions by 26% to 28% below 2005 levels....

The unprecedented event, caused by climate change warming the ocean, is being called an environmental assault on the largest coral ecosystem on Earth. Only around 50 percent of the impacted corals are expected to survive, and in some areas, only a mere 10 percent may recover. So heavy is the toll, 56 scientists...

Half Australia's Great Barrier Reef coral 'dead or dying': scientists
2016-04-20 08:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: SYDNEY Australian scientists said on Wednesday that just seven percent of the Great Barrier Reef, which attracts around A$5 billion ($3.90 billion) in tourism every year, has been untouched by mass bleaching that is likely to destroy half the coral. Bleaching occurs when the water is too warm, forcing coral to expel living algae and causing it to calcify and turn white. Mildly bleached coral can recover if the temperature drops, otherwise it may die. Although the impact has been exacerbated...
