I don't think there's anything sensationalist about sounding the alarm on the top 3rd of the GBR being totally bleached. The reef is MASSIVE. In geographical terms it's like destroying almost all the flora and fauna life in a medium sized US state.

At this point, denying the threat that climate change poses is at best wilful ignorance and at worst callous vandalism. We had members of parliament here fondling lumps of coal a few weeks back and having a laugh at what they perceive as hysteria over climate change. History will judge them poorly, it's just a shame that they'll be dead before the worst impacts hit and they can be held to account.
