Even if global #warming is kept under the Paris Agreement goal of 1.5°C above pre-industrial #temperatures, 70% to 90% of #corals across the world could be lost.

‘Wake-up call to humanity’: research shows the Great Barrier Reef is the hottest it’s been in 400 years

We must face a confronting truth: if humanity does not divert from its current course, our generation will likely witness the demise of one of Earth’s great natural wonders.

Flying a drone over the same section of reef earlier this month to match the images, Williamson said: “At least 97% of the corals had died over those three months.

Größtes Korallenriff wächst wie noch nie

Der kolossale Irrtum der #Klimaforscher über das Great Barrier Reef

https://jungefreiheit.de/politik/ausland/2022/der-kolossale-irrtum-der-klimaforscher-ueber-das-great-barrier-reef/

#CANBERRA. Für #Flora und #Fauna ist das #GreatBarrierReef vor der australischen Küste von enormer Bedeutung. Deswegen wäre das #Absterben des größten #Korallenriffs der Welt eine verheerende Folge der Erderwärmung. Genau diese fatale Entwicklung sagen #Klimaforscher seit Jahren voraus.

Doch nun ist das Gegenteil eingetreten:
Seit Beginn der wissenschaftlichen Aufzeichnungen #1986 haben die Forscher noch nie auch nur eine annähernd so große Vermehrung wie aktuell registriert. Zuletzt hatte die schwedische #Schulverweigerin #Greta #Thunberg behauptet, die #Korallen dort hätten sich halbiert.

Der kolossale Irrtum der Klimaforscher über das Great Barrier Reef

Klimaforscher sagen wegen der Erderwärmung das Absterben des Great Barrier Reef voraus. Greta Thunberg behauptete, die Korallen hätten sich halbiert. Doch nun stellt sich heraus: Das australische Riff ist so stark gewachsen wie noch nie.

More than 90% of Great Barrier Reefcoral surveyed this year was bleached, Australian #government scientists disclosed Tuesday in a new report.

"This is heartbreaking, this is deeply troubling, it shows that our (Great) Barrier Reef really is in very serious #trouble indeed”, said Simon Bradshaw, Director of Research at the Climate Council.

Bleaching is a phenomenon caused by global #warming, but this is the reef’s first bleaching event during a La Niña #weather pattern, which is associated with cooler #Pacific #Ocean temperatures.
