Climate Change Killing the Great Barrier Reef

Since the last report was taken in 2014, the Australian federal government says that the look of the barrier reefs has progressed from poor to very poor. Although the concern for saving the reefs, scientists say it is due to the increasing prominence of climate change. By 2030 the reefs' could be looking worse than ever if we soon don't see any signs of improvement.

I think this is a tragic event taking place, being that the great barrier reef is homes to thousands of animals and species. If we cant help the climate change soon, not only will the reefs be dying, but so will the species that they house.

  1. Reefs are also affected by natural disasters such as a hurricanes. But the wildlife that coincides with the reef are greatly affected by pollution which will kill off wildlife and shutdown the life of the reef. This is a very interesting topic and needs to be dealt with before all marine wildlife and under water biomes dont die off.

  2. Greenhouse gasses emitted by humans result in climate change and ocean acidification. In order to change this by 2030 humans must reduce burning fossil fuels, producing some industrial products, raising livestock, fertilizing crops, and deforestation.

    1. As much as I would love to believe that that would help, it's impossible to reduce these things and to continue living to the standards that we have been used to all of our lives.

  3. The reefs are an important part of life for aquatic animals. It provides homes and food for most of the animals. Without the reefs many animals will become extinct. In order for us to stop or slow the changing of the reefs, we need to change the way we use them. Everything we do effects the reefs, from the burning of fossil fuels to coastal development to fishing. The reef is not abundant and if we don't change the way we use it, the reefs will not be there forever.
