'Huge wake up call': Third of central, northern Great Barrier Reef corals dead
I could not get the map to copy. Please have a look at it.
The damage seems to be greatest around Cooktown. The hotter waters to the North seem less damaged.
The fixation on climate change and CO2 will stop decent research being done. The cause is obviously not warming/CO2, if this was the case then the hotter waters would show the trouble first. To research this with the culprit already chosen is to not do science but to follow the latest religion of AGW.
We should be looking closely at this, it is a significant problem, but with open minds which have not already chosen the answer.
Professor Hughes said he did not advocate the reef being put on the "in danger" list by the World Heritage Committee, but it was time governments reconsidered their approval for massive new coal mines in Queensland's Galilee Basin and elsewhere.
"The key threat to the Great Barrier Reef is climate change – the government has recognised that many times," he said.
