The blame for the existential danger facing our reefs lays squarely with the main culprits fuelling global warming: fossil fuel companies, and the governments who prop up this industry.

A logical response to the current mass coral mortality on the #GreatBarrierReef would be to phase out exports of fossil fuels. Instead, we get this crap....

The build up of heat exposure (Degree Heating Days) on the #GreatBarrierReef this summer has been extraordinarily brutal.

Compare late February with yesterday:

This is more widespread than any previous mass coral bleaching and mortality event.
