Multiple scientific studies have shown that the increase of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has contributed to sea level rise and more flooding in the state’s coastal cities. Nearly two-thirds of the world's coral reefs have been subjected to heat stress triggering bleaching in the past year, with the Caribbean at risk again this summer. Experts warn that coral reef bleaching is nearing record levels globally due to 'crazy' ocean heat, with over 60% of coral reefs affected. The Great Barrier Reef faces uncertainty as Earth's warming threatens its future and marine species' survival.
Ocean heat bleaches coral reefs in #Florida, elsewhere: "It’s an ecosystem that we’re literally going to watch disappear in our lifetimes." https://t.co/goGFJ0XpQ4

As global warming causes the most vulnerable species of coral die off, scientists expect only the hardiest varieties to survive. That threatens the Great Barrier Reef’s extraordinary diversity—and the many endangered marine species that rely upon it https://t.co/NC3kSz5k4k 👇
Scientists in the United States are reporting “unprecedented patterns” of surface warming, an ominous sign for coral. https://t.co/Inh1vInbbq
NYTimes gives credit where credit is due for warming: Scientists hope that relief will set in as the natural climate pattern known as El Niño, which is associated with warmer ocean temperatures, fades. @CatrinEinhorn should have also added increased solar irradiance as the Sun… https://t.co/uL4hOGe7dR
The world's oceans have gone "crazy haywire," officials warn, with the majority of coral reefs in peril. https://t.co/NwE8220usj

We are the invasive species. More than 60% of world’s coral reefs may have bleached in past year, U.S. agency says
At the rate we’re going, carrying on burning fossil fuels, all of Earth’s coral reefs will die. All the incredible life and beauty gone along with the food supply for millions of people. https://t.co/Xbscu4q88Q
