Brazil bracing for worst-ever coral bleaching event

Brazil is bracing for what may be its worst-ever coral bleaching event, as extremely warm water temperatures have damaged reefs in the country’s largest marine reserve.
“We are observing the situation of coral bleaching, very intense bleaching,” said Pedro Pereira, coordinator of the non-profit Reef Conservation Project.
“For every hundred colonies of coral, we imagine, over 80 per cent of them are bleached.”
Global reefs are suffering the fourth mass bleaching event in three decades, but researchers had hoped Brazil would be spared as they had been in previous global bleaching events.
Huge swaths of coral have turned bone white along Brazil’s vast Atlantic coastline, threatening the region’s tourism and fishing revenue.
Sea temperatures have smashed records in the last year as climate change intensifies the El Nino phenomenon that normally warms the globe every six or seven years.

Trudy needs to immediately raise taxes to eliminate this bleaching.

Thanks China 🇨🇳 for - building more and more *coal-fired power plants,* and - burning more and more *fossil fuel.*

[@Boujading1]

They build the crap that we buy so bad on all of us. We built their military - $1 at a time from Walmart etc. Change your habits.

[@Aaronreacher]

Just China?

[@cheegum6296]

Stop buying things from China? See how that goes

[@ruthramos4769]

It's very sad to see this here in Brazil, I hope this situation changes as soon as possible.

[@ianmangham4570]

I remember the London Zoological Society saying the coral reefs will be no more in 2050 due to bleaching. 😮 🇬🇧

[@Cheetahcat-1128]

I worry about the corals across the glode due to the warming waters.

[@claudiasangwais1129]

Why block comments? Why post this?

[@edharris4202]

We should be bracing with them.

[@winstonsmith935]

It’s the sun!

Is this like the death of the great corral reef in Australia? Oh wait that didn't happen either.

[@chadking8973]

Oceans are more important then our trees 😅

[@grandmufftwerkin9037]

Wait until the bleaching of Uranus begins.

[@gordleith9474]

Bastards assured me the process was totally safe,now three of my gerbils are blind!

Brazil's energy matrix is 50% renewable and in a list of country's by CO2 emissions per capita, Brazil doesn't make the top 100, despite being the world's 8th largest economy 🤷‍♂

This is what happens when the magnetosphere decreases in power exponentially

[@edharris4202]

We need to save the magnetosphere before it's too late.

[@billsmith912]

@@edharris4202 lol!!

[@edharris4202]

If we tax electricity, we can save the magnetosphere.

[@billclay9511]

Carbon tax will solve the problem 😂😂😂

[@FranklinFleming-lm1yu]

[@dsab381]

And yet here you are, commenting.

[@dixonyaarmouf4630]
