It seems that the great barrier reef will be extinct in 20 years.
How does this pass even modest research? The reef has existed for 18 million years (the northern part - 2 million years for the southern) and gone through numerous climate cycles - there has been at least 5 ice ages and interglacials in the last 400k years and the reef is still there but the GW hysteria is going to make it disappear in 20 years!
lots of politics, not much science
I quite like this summary:

it is a bit of a read, but worth it as an excellent summary of climate science.
