#Heat Raises Fears of ‘Demise’ for #GreatBarrierReef
Study found extreme #temperatures in #CoralSea are at highest in at least 400yr
“The heat extremes are occurring too often for those corals to effectively adapt and evolve,” said Ben Henley, a #paleoclimatologist and author of study. “If we don’t divert from our current course, our generation will likely witness the demise of one of Earth’s great natural wonders, the Great Barrier Reef.”

Our lovely beach, only a few steps from the house. With our heavy hearts we had a good pause, some deep breathing and stretch of the eyes.
