Episode 13: Deadly Threat to Coral Reefs
The Great Barrier Reef could be hit with catastrophic bleaching every two years by 2034, under current greenhouse gas pollution levels, according to the latest report from the Climate Council today.
The ‘Lethal Consequences: Climate Change Impacts on the Great Barrier Reef’ report shows the future survival of coral reefs around the world, including the Great Barrier Reef, depends on how deeply and swiftly greenhouse gas pollution levels are slashed over the coming years and decades.
The report also highlights that accelerating climate change has driven a 54 per cent increase in the number of marine heatwave days each year, placing global reefs at serious risk.
Presented by Alexia Boland with expert guests Climate Councillor and ecologist Professor Lesley Hughes, Climate Council Acting CEO Dr Martin Rice and Douglas Shire Council Mayor, Cr Julia Leu.
