All true

Problem faced by the reef atm is that bleaching potentially leaves the reef ecosystem too weak to recover from these other threats and large parts of it are dead as a result

A massive % of the world’s reefs will be dead within a generation if we continue to ignore the problem

some people need to grow plants, keep a fish tank, etc, to really understand what a few degrees or a bunch of extra CO2 can do to an organism that lives in an oxygenated, fluid environment. grow f#cking pot if you don't believe me. they can't just pack up and go. they either thrive, adapt, or die off.
