Great Barrier Reef Hit Again by Mass Bleaching

The Great Barrier Reef in Australia has been hit again by massive coral bleaching. This is the fifth such event in eight years, scientists say. As they point out, the ridge is literally boiling and they call for decisive action. Scientists say it is too early to predict the extent of the damage. As they estimate, if conditions normalize, the ridge will be restored as it has been many times in history.
