Climate policy shift gives hope to bleached and battered Reef

Summary by Ground News
Coral bleaching has affected 654 of the 719 reefs in the Great Barrier Reef. It is the sixth bleaching event since 1998, and the first in a La Ni�a year. 'Climate change remains the greatest threat to the Reef,' says Capricorn Conservation Council coordinator Dr Coral Rowston. This position is consistent with the assessment of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Dr Rowston says that if Australia can take "serious climate action" to keep surface temperatures at or below 1.5� Celsius above pre-industrial levels, then the Reef could avert a future of permanent bleaching.
