Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is one of the world’s greatest reservoirs of biodiversity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A World Heritage Site, it is currently under assault from unusually hot ocean temperatures, which is causing widespread coral bleaching that is damaging and, in some cases, even killing the reefs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now a\u00a0new study by scientists at the Australian Research Council finds that the ongoing bleaching event is mainly due to human-caused global warming, and that if global warming proceeds as currently expected, “large parts” of the Great Barrier Reef could die by the mid-2030s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
