Default Great Barrier Reef

Even the coral of the great barrier reef show global climaite change. It emits a liquid (chemical) when it gets to hot and can block sun/uv rays and even cause clouds to form. But when it emits to much of this it goes through a process caleld bleaching where it ends up killing its self! 1 more proof that global warming is happening. 2 that eco system is screwed 3 any society dependnt on that eco system is screwed!!

btw global warming=next ice age

That means we better stock up on winter clothing! Because we are not going to succeed in stopping. The government's have ignored the situation way too long. Although, they might slow the process down a bit if they get their butts in here now!

Default Re: Great Barrier Reef

i remember reading somewhere that, i can't remember exactly, but i believe that OVER 50% of our oxygen comes from the alge in the ocean! now remember that a change in ocean water of only a few degrees can destroy all of the alge....
the coral reef is an AMAZING thing to witness... i had the awesome experience of doing some snorkeling on my honey moon. i can't even describe how incredible the reefs are. and how sad it is what we are doing to them...
