    "For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the whole world."
  • So they spend millions, put the eggs back on the reef, the reef gets a little better, then the hot weather appears again and everything dies again?!
  • Just like gardening with native plants but under water. It’s so sad how much we’re losing, and at such high rate of speed. If you read this, spend $3 on a packet of native wildflower seeds and toss them in a sunny area you don’t mind leaving unmowed, help your local ecosystem survive humanity

    It is because of Australian coal mining industry.

    Why don't we seed other waters such as southern California with corals. The climate is changing so let's introduce coral to cooler waters. Aquarium keepers grow corals all the time. It's not hard. Let's transplant them.
  • Bleaching and recovery on the Great Barrier Reef has been occurring for my whole life of over 70 years. The quality of research at the James Cook University has been under question for many years.
  • Weird how different news channels tell different stories. I just watched one from the same time a year ago about how much it has grown and replenished now this one is pushing fear.
  • There are coral reefs on the beaches in Australia that are 8 foot high from when most of Australia was under water. The reefs will repair themselves eventually.
  • Don't forget bottom net dragging from industrial fishing boats destroy thousands of acers of corl a day every day all year.

    Good Video, I'm kinda motivated by it, but I have been hoping to see you make more videos pertains on how to make wealth...

    There hasn’t been nearly enough global warming just yet. I’d like it to be at least 5 - 10 degrees warmer in the winter months and I’d be willing to trade that for polar bears going extinct and some stupid corals bleaching and dying

    Liar! The great coral reef has been growing beyond expectation.
