The Great Barrier Reef just sustained massive damage. Can it ever recover?
2016-06-01 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Vox: The news out of the Great Barrier Reef keeps getting worse and worse. For months, the northern half of Australia's famed coral reef has been ravaged by an unprecedented mass bleaching event. Record high temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, fueled by global warming and a powerful El Nio, have turned this once vibrant ecosystem into a ghastly pale white tableau. Now scientists are assessing the fallout -- and it's grim. On Sunday, Australian researchers estimated that 35 percent of the corals...

Great Barrier Reef doomed but our dome will save us
2016-05-31 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
WAToday: The Great Barrier Reef is almost certainly doomed. But that's OK, because our own doom is only probable, not certain. It will die before we do. It will die because of us. But we are such a resourceful, inventive, endlessly self-seeking species that we might yet survive the catastrophe we have visited upon the planet. Maybe in domes. Yes, huge city-sized domes with a Soylent Green stall on every corner. That would be cool. The reef is not part of that future though. Like the lake districts of...
Great Barrier Reef may never rebound to previous health: Scientists
2016-05-31 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Sydney Morning Herald: The Great Barrier Reef is unlikely to recover fully from the huge bleaching event that has killed off more than half its corals in some northern reefs as temperatures rise, scientists say. Research, including by Tracy Ainsworth from James Cook University, has found that corals have natural mechanisms helping them to acclimatise to rising sea-level temperatures and avoid bleaching. Coral reefs may be losing their natural ability to acclimatise. Photo: Zoe Richards However, the ability...
