SYDNEY, Nov 4 — A study released on Friday by an Australian university looking at multiple catastrophes hitting the Great Barrier Reef has found for the first time that only 2 per cent of its area has escaped bleaching since 1998, then the world’s hottest year on record.
“If we can hold global warming to 1.5 degrees global average warming then I think we’ll still have a vibrant Great Barrier Reef,” he said. “Even the most remote, most pristine parts of the Great Barrier Reef have now bleached severely at least once,” Hughes said. “The government is still issuing permits for new coal mines and for new methane gas deals and it’s simply irresponsible in terms of Australia’s responsibilities to the Great Barrier Reef,” he said.
