We can’t AVOID this! We have to STOP every single tiny factor that has contributed to this destruction must be discontinued! This is no accident the coral reefs are suffering in midst of such huge planetary evolution! The coral reefs are NOT a separate part of humans ALL of nature is the DIRECT living manifestation of the HUMAN COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS... we as an entire global family have STOPPED living the REAL and TRUE purpose of the dream of MANS LIFE! There is a small science community working on the restoring and healing the reef but why is it such a small group of people taking responsibility? The ONLY purpose which “god” or Mother Nature or the universe created the human being is to be a CUSTODIAN of earth and nature, to look after it and be responsible for its well being and life FOREVER more... is that so terrible? To hang out in nature with plants, animals, insects, and nurture it? Is that not glamorous enough? Is that too boring? Because we gave it all up to act out FANTASY of kings and queens, and singers and dancers, and world leaders and inventors, or to play video games or go shopping ... Everything of civilization is FAKE and meaningless and causes immense harm, we use humans as SLAVES so we can go have McDonald’s drive throughs and go to the movie theatre and buy clothes... all of it is garbage and will be garbage one day.... EARTH is going to do a mass COMPOST and use humans as FERTILIZER for the all of the worthless trees and plants and animals that we HATE!
I spend a lot of time diving on the Great Barrier Reef from one end to the other, yes in different sections there has been massive damage lots of it because from human interaction such as dredging their deepwater ports and dumping the waste at sea. But on the other hand there are areas where are untouched by the circumstances so far but as civilisation creeps up the coast and the multinationals wanting more and more money this is likely to change. As for human global warming or climate change there is very little that monkeys can do to change what happens on this planet climate wise. Realistically everything comes down to money this is why recycling efforts are constantly failing, nobody is willing to lose their payroll so what's really killing the planet is human greed I use all proud?

They didn't mention the crown of thorns starfish. Their numbers are increasing and they feed off of the algae in the coral, leaving the coral white when they finish
Luckily to this day as of 2022, “Climate change experts” (I use that word loosely) have never been correct in a prediction. They’re 0 for 60 at this point. I’ll never forget crying at night in middle school because someone came into my class and told us that New York City would be completely underwater by 2015.
Not how the science on this works sorry. It's been consecutively the hottest year on record for the past 10 years, and since 1986 over half of the living coral has been lost and over 90% has been bleached through 6 mass bleaching events… A few incorrectly modelled studies don’t defeat the overwhelming consensus on this.
Because a few months ago, it was spring and like all living things, coral has a yearly cycle, so they were blooming. Maybe someone was using that to pretend they were recovering (like saying pointing to the thermometer in winter to say that the planet isn't getting warmer). Regardless, the _overall_ trend is downward. There might be momentary spots of growth, with brief bursts that look promising, but as a whole, over time, it's doing worse.
Ok. I have further questions: 1) would there be somewhere, coral would start to grow because of the previously cold area now become mild due to climate change...perhaps southern of current barrier reef? 2) why coral incapable of evolving to adapt slightly higher temperature? 3) do we have gene of highly durable coral that we can cross breed to produce hybrid or stronger coral, like we do to our crop, like GMO?
The thing is, that is very well possible, interbreeding coral and making them more resilient, but coral still can't withstand high temperatures. Most coral species can't even handle a single degree of change. We want to preserve it not change it, so future generations (if there are any) can appreciate it without our intervention.
Also I believe its the same problem like with the rainforests: of course we can plant new trees, but we can never replicate the intricacy and variety that the extremely old rainforests have to offer. And I think this might be the problem with coral too. And about evolving: the warming is happening way too fast for the organisms to “react” to change and since evolution only works over many generations the existing coral would die anyway, and change could eventually only happen in the next generation. But again the change is too quick...
Current version of the GBR is around 6 thousand years old as that was when the last 2m of sea level rise occurred. It managed to deal with 130m of rise, so surely it can migrate south to cooler waters. The speed of change, well No scientific theory is there forever without being tested. What if it's other factors and the CO2 is following rather than leading temp change as Ice core tests have suggested..! How are us humans going to react to that.....oops it wasn't us, damn that's a shame, more money needed to fix the real problem...living on a planet that changed from what we preferred...!
Coral DID evolve during a warmer period in earth history. It is capable of adapting faster than the environment is capable of changing save a catastrophic act of God like a meteor.
its hard to have faith when most people causing the problems could careless i have been in the aquarium hobby for 13 years doing freshwater as just a side hobby and recently had gotten into marine aquariums and it has become my passion the more dive deeper into marine aquariums the more environmental issues come up its disheartening to say but by the looks of everything i think the only coral reefs you will be seeing will be in a fishtank
I rather think they should be deleting the video rather than sharing it. It's alarmist nonsense that current coral reef cover demonstrates they were chatting absolute rubbish.
Why is this the first time this has happened if it only takes 2 degrees of warming and temperatures have fluctuated more than that in Earth’s history? I’m genuinely worried about the reefs but it doesn’t make much sense to me...
The video explained that. The warming happening too quickly for coral to adapt. Normal warming periods on earth can take tens of thousands of years, which is dozens of generations of coral. A coral's lifespan is about 400 years, so all of this is happening within one coral lifetime. That is too fast for adaptation to happen, since genetic adaptation is a matter of offspring survival, not the current organism.
@@HorizonOfHope Hahahaha! You are talking absolute rubbish. "... too fast for adaptation to happen". Coral cover on GBR currently at 36 year high. It seems the coral can adapt just fine.
@@fixie1238 I'd suggest you check out the CSIRO, Institue for marine science and the GBR Marine Authority mate, they have decades of records that would disagree... Local businesses who rely on tourism don't share your optimism either.
We should promote this video. I-had been to Thailand and many corals had died. People these days are so into their world that they forget that their home is dying and they are doing nothing about it.
3 years later, and the Reef now has the greatest growth of hard corals that is has had since proper records began nearly 40 years ago. Meanwhile, as waters warm, coral is growing southwards at an unprecedneted rte. So whilst the Reef is changing, certainly, it is far from "disappearing". That has turned out to be a total GreenLIE.
Not how the science on this works mate. We've now had 3 mass bleaching events across 2022-2024, half the living coral has died off since 1986 measurements and it continues to be in decline the warmer the water becomes. Yes, it has displayed resilience across short periods of time as cooler currents pass through, but larger trends show a very noticeable decline - it's resilience has limits. Check out the CSIRO and the Institute for marine science for some of their reports, they’re quite informative.
The Australian Institute of Marine Sciences (AIMS) has been studying the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) in detail since the mid 1980's. AIMS publish annual reports on the health of the GBR. The last published report from 2022 stated that there is a record high of coral cover and that the coral cover has been increasing since 2012. Corals prefer and grow more quickly in warmer waters. Coral grows more quickly in the warmer waters of the northern GBR than they do in the cooler waters of the southern GBR. They grow even more quickly in the warmer waters of the Torres Strait and in the Thailand Coral Triangle. How does a growing and thriving Great Barrier Reef lead people to conclude it could disappear by 2050? Why is it so fashionable to be anti-human and pessimistic?
That isn't the official postion of the AIMS, it's cherry picked from one of their studies. Half of the reef has died off since the mid 80's and we've had over half a dozen bleaching events over the last 3 decades, 3 of which have been in the past 3 years... It's the long term trends that count which show that it has been in serious decline. Check out the AIMS, CSIRO and GBR Authority report on the lastest 2024 mass belaching event headed by Dr. Neal Cantin, Nicholas James and Dr. Jessica Stella.
I think you missed some key points of the AIMS report: It says that there was the highest level of coral cover in 36 years, but only in two-thirds of the GBR. The observed recovery means that before, the cover was 27%, and afterward, it was 37%. That’s good news, for sure, but it’s only a partial recovery, and it most certainly won’t last long due to the temperature increase. Anyway, I would like to see a scientific source that proofs higher growth of corals in warmer waters.
What yah gonna do if the Australian Government does not believe in international cooperation to limit Co2 human contribution....even thought it knows that wind and Oceans are connected with each other.
We can't simply just ban plastic, it would be too detrimental to us and how our economy works. This problem isn't a black and white solution. It's complex and we need to find the steps to take and take them.
Just a Scare story, just like the one were the North Pole would be ice free by 2013. Coral is thriving on the great Barrier reef. Coral grows in the warmest waters on earth. Its loves warmth.
So why then has half of our beautiful GBR died off since the mid 80's? Checkout the report on the latest 2024 mass bleaching event we've just had here, by the CSIRO, AIMS and GBR marine authority. Lots photographical, statistical evidence along with anslysed samples of reef. It doesn't paint a good picture mate...
We only need to think. We need to think of other ways of doing things without harming our environment, you may observed that most of the cause of our environment being destroyed is because of the things we do daily and mostly things to improve the economy. Let’s not wait for the time where we can’t anymore go back. Don’t wait for someone to do it, start now. In the end, everyone will be affected, everyone will die. So do what you can do now.
I can imagine the future at this moment.. Edit/2020: its corona and everyones in quarntine and isoaltion, so the gbr is hetting so much better! Its improving so much!
We weren't "made to destroy." Take the Native Americans for example. They were able to live in peace and coexist with nature. It's the decisions we've made.
I wanna cry 😢seeing this , I was gonna go to school for EMT but forget that I took three years of school for marine biology 🧪 ima just go to work in coral reefs
Volcanic activity is a bigger blame than human activity plus thanks to continental drift it won't last for as long as people make it out to be. The coral reef is a fragile ecosystem and unfortunately that goes against the survival of the fittest.
Changing every car into electric is gonna be a huge strain on the environment, remember, it is much more environmentally concious to use a car for a long time than to spend the resources to get a new, more energy efficient car within a relatively short period of time.

That comment applies to both of you and you're probably not on an entirely different planet because (A) signals would take forever and (B) life support for a pickle and or a Pokemon most likely wouldn't exist. So this problem affects you too.
Do all of you people think in the world can die it really can that’s why we got to start building more oxygen by planting we can make global warming go lower to a normal weight we need to start helping the world survive to the government and NASA and the CDC are trying to help the world and if you don’t help the world it can come to an end
Hạnh Đỗ T Tuyết all of human civilization has been a tragedy! This is horrific! Truly the WORST case scenario that could ever take place , the damage upon nature ... humans have been slowly chipping away at NATURE for thousands of years staring at Egypt with the stone monuments, then England with the wars, and then the industrial revolution, and then the World Wars and now all of the economy and tourism and mass production of consumer products it’s just been too much on the human spirit and Nature is showing us through the coral reef ...it has gotten worse with technology... we are in the Biblical end of time prophecy, but this one is not a test! That’s the thing about life everything we do, is done FOREVER no second chances... that’s what makes this REAL!
No, that would be idiotic, at least a *sudden* ban on fossil fuels would, the CO2 emissions producing new electric cars would be a net increase than to slowly phase out petrol cars. Please do not buy an electric car if your old car works fine, that would actually be more of a strain on the environment. Unfortunately, we don't have many options here. Use public transport, guys.
RealHipHopManiac I agree with what you’re saying about electric cars. They are not the answer. Not only is transport not even the worst contributing factor to CO2 emissions (think of agriculture and energy production) but the batteries needed to run these vehicles do more damage to the environment because of the lithium and cobalt that its needed. On top of that, because the production of most car batteries are done in China that still uses almost only coal for energy, you would have to drive 100’000 km with that car to even make up for the CO2 that was pumped into the atmosphere during production (this is of course an average electric car compared with an average car). I for instance only was able to drive 50’000 km with my electric car before I would have had to replace the batterie, I sold that car now, realizing my mistake but better would be it not have ever been produced in the first place... We need to focus on less meat consumption and other transport possibilities like methane or straight hydrogen powered cars.
@@andrewtran4237 100 companies in recent years have been responsible for 71% of all emissions, there isn't anything we can do, only things that the elite 0.1% people can do but they are too busy rolling in money too care.
Its best to know now before unexpected disasters from global warming happen in the future, to get awareness and maybe take action instead of being on social media with the phone all day. Its very good to be worried and even know now so maybe there will be some solutions. Yes its still a long time and a few more decades but still.. the change is now or never.
high temp that came from global warming, I know some close minded people will say global warming is not true ,but all over the world experience the change of temperature and weather they just don't care, please love our planet
The reef is fine things like climate change are all cyclical it happens every decade or so for people to think that we can cause climate change is stupid in my opinion
I would suggest that we have less than 2-4 years before the greatest bulk of all reef globally is either bleached and dying, or actually dead. The primary science suggested it was on track to largely disappear by 2030 to 2035 - 8 years ago. 2023 has set us up for a level and rate of collapse that no one expected, and right now all of that warm water from El Nino (with temperatures over 31 degrees C (88 degrees F) is driving like a truck towards the coral triangle. As of right now (14 April 2024) there are local water temperatures already over 29 degrees C (85 degrees F) and rising.
They should save the Great Barrier Reef so they can move the earth a little far from the sun so there can be coral reefs around the world and there will be 50,00 ,000 ,000 ,000 corals
You are absolutely wrong. Climate change is already affecting us in many ways. For example, the WHO has stated that 7 million people die of air pollution each year and it also leads to more serious conditions like lung cancer and or asthma. Another result is rising water. The water is rising at 3.4 millimeters per year and that's the figure from 2016 according to Smithsonian Ocean. So in short, no you can see the results.

We need to think of other ways of doing things without harming our environment, you may observed that most of the cause of our environment being destroyed is because of the things we do daily and mostly things to improve the economy. Let’s not wait for the time where we can’t anymore go back.
Don’t wait for someone to do it, start now. In the end, everyone will be affected, everyone will die. So do what you can do now.
I can imagine the future at this moment..
Edit/2020: its corona and everyones in quarntine and isoaltion, so the gbr is hetting so much better! Its improving so much!
This planet would be better off without humanity
The 2Centzz we were the superior species not our faults we were made to destroy
We weren't "made to destroy." Take the Native Americans for example. They were able to live in peace and coexist with nature. It's the decisions we've made.
@@keepithundo9239 It is our faults.
Adapting to climate change is always more feasible than trying to stop it or reverse it.
I do think we need to adapt but we also have to reduce our effect on climate change simultaneously.
reefs are still there... not any smaller...
I wanna cry 😢seeing this , I was gonna go to school for EMT but forget that I took three years of school for marine biology 🧪 ima just go to work in coral reefs
Report from yesterday makes this not age well. Still good to keep awareness up. Lets go coral reefs!! 😁
Volcanic activity is a bigger blame than human activity plus thanks to continental drift it won't last for as long as people make it out to be. The coral reef is a fragile ecosystem and unfortunately that goes against the survival of the fittest.
Change every car into electric and shut down the greenhouse emissions
Hope that gonna fix it
Like who agrees
Changing every car into electric is gonna be a huge strain on the environment, remember, it is much more environmentally concious to use a car for a long time than to spend the resources to get a new, more energy efficient car within a relatively short period of time. It is better to slowly phase out petrol cars.
Just use public transport, guys.
@@RealHipHoManiac It's not that hard government spend lots of money on military if we stopped that spend and help to decrease prices people would automatically change there mind soon!
@@NeoHorizonLabs No, that's not an argument, the military has nothing to do with it. What I'm telling you is literal mathematics. It would be WORSE for the environment if we all suddenly switched to replacing our fossil fuels cars with electric cars. I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but every environmental scientist worth their weight in salt would tell you the same.
Also, their*
Gaming with Animesh - Electric Cars won’t help at all. They will make it worse.
@@RealHipHoManiac well there is need of this change
And here we are late 2024 and the great barrier reef has record coral cover.
How many times can the alarmists get it completely wrong before we just stop believing them
Great Barrier Reef exe. has stopped working
Problem diagnosed: *Humans*
I don’t believe that we can save it. We humans are selfish and we destroy everything we touch.
And most of the people don't even know about these things. Education is important and mostly about our climate, weather and ecosystem.
@@Chetna444 Imagine how great it'd be if billions of people knew about this and stepped in.
this is why God thought humans were evil and a disgrace
Correct, You humans are a disgrace to this beautiful planet...
You're a human too....
correction: im a pokemon
That comment applies to both of you and you're probably not on an entirely different planet because (A) signals would take forever and (B) life support for a pickle and or a Pokemon most likely wouldn't exist. So this problem affects you too.
thanks for the info
that was so necessary 🙄
REEFS OVER CREEPS
Its really disappointing the fact their lifespan is 4000 years and because of us its almost *_GONE_*
Nope, it's not almost gone. Currently at its highest levels since AIMS started taking measurements.
Why, Because Humans are Reckless
Do all of you people think in the world can die it really can that’s why we got to start building more oxygen by planting we can make global warming go lower to a normal weight we need to start helping the world survive to the government and NASA and the CDC are trying to help the world and if you don’t help the world it can come to an end
This just makes me sad
Really sad
Hạnh Đỗ T Tuyết all of human civilization has been a tragedy! This is horrific! Truly the WORST case scenario that could ever take place , the damage upon nature ... humans have been slowly chipping away at NATURE for thousands of years staring at Egypt with the stone monuments, then England with the wars, and then the industrial revolution, and then the World Wars and now all of the economy and tourism and mass production of consumer products it’s just been too much on the human spirit and Nature is showing us through the coral reef ...it has gotten worse with technology... we are in the Biblical end of time prophecy, but this one is not a test! That’s the thing about life everything we do, is done FOREVER no second chances... that’s what makes this REAL!
This is why we should ban fossil fuels.
No, that would be idiotic, at least a *sudden* ban on fossil fuels would, the CO2 emissions producing new electric cars would be a net increase than to slowly phase out petrol cars. Please do not buy an electric car if your old car works fine, that would actually be more of a strain on the environment. Unfortunately, we don't have many options here.
Use public transport, guys.
For real I mean we have electric cars now
Peliha .ip - Then how do we power our lives? How do we power the thousand ton freight trains, and airplanes?
RealHipHopManiac I agree with what you’re saying about electric cars. They are not the answer. Not only is transport not even the worst contributing factor to CO2 emissions (think of agriculture and energy production) but the batteries needed to run these vehicles do more damage to the environment because of the lithium and cobalt that its needed. On top of that, because the production of most car batteries are done in China that still uses almost only coal for energy, you would have to drive 100’000 km with that car to even make up for the CO2 that was pumped into the atmosphere during production (this is of course an average electric car compared with an average car). I for instance only was able to drive 50’000 km with my electric car before I would have had to replace the batterie, I sold that car now, realizing my mistake but better would be it not have ever been produced in the first place... We need to focus on less meat consumption and other transport possibilities like methane or straight hydrogen powered cars.
I use plastic straws.
And I had a fish as a pet once, it died in about half a year.
Alexandra Dordzhieva what did u put the draw in the tank?? 😂
@@kathrynholt5182 What?
Alexandra Dordzhieva are you saying your fish died because you use plastic straws?
@@kathrynholt5182 no
Guys let’s just protect the earth! Like if we all work hard enough the world will become a better place..
Marley Pickett thank you. But some people just don’t care or are to stupid to see the facts.
If we all simultaneously started highly restricting our consumption and waste, maybe, just maybe, but a 1.5-2 degree change is already inevitable.
@@PremierCCGuyMMXVI You want to see a fact? Here's one: the GBR coral cover is currently at record highs.
@@fixie1238 mate your horrible
@@andrewtran4237 100 companies in recent years have been responsible for 71% of all emissions, there isn't anything we can do, only things that the elite 0.1% people can do but they are too busy rolling in money too care.
This is sad
Listen to the scientist and academics not the politics or even the majority publics on this issue.
I wouldn't listen to these two particular scientists. Right now we know their predictions were utterly wrong.
We really have to help i feel bad for my future kids and family to not be able to see it’s beautiful reef
Bbuutt the climate was ALwayS ChangInG
Nice efforts
Me who hasnt visited the great barrier reef watching this: 👁👄👁
I blame humans
I wish Insider Science would disappear.
The Great Barrier Reef can’t disappear if we don’t have one
Does the dereasing of biodiversity bleaching reef?
Yes😢
So sad ...😭😭😢😢please stop...
Our world was perfect, but we ruined it
It's quite sad. The Earth is sick and it's raising it's temperature to kill off us, the illness.
Farizan Ladin actually the world was horrible and got better before humans and got worse after humans
Exactly, I think the analogy of the Earth being sick is fitting in this situation.
Theres no perfect world
@@discovaria9507 *almost*
And why are we worried about this now that's 30 years away why are people so worried about shit that isn't going to happen for decades
Salem this is the reason global warming exists. We’re too focused on the present and dont care about what will happen in the future.
Its best to know now before unexpected disasters from global warming happen in the future, to get awareness and maybe take action instead of being on social media with the phone all day. Its very good to be worried and even know now so maybe there will be some solutions. Yes its still a long time and a few more decades but still.. the change is now or never.
Why not just have a huge cargo ship bring an iceberg from Antartica and place it near the great barrier reef to reduce the heat.
Not needed. GBR just fine right now.
Easy peoples..nobody will ever see that day ...ever
This is sad, and probably no one rly cares ab losing the reef. So ppl we need to end all of this devastation
Just drop liquid nitrogen on the ocean(thats a joke bruh)
high temp that came from global warming, I know some close minded people will say global warming is not true ,but all over the world experience the change of temperature and weather they just don't care, please love our planet
The reef is fine things like climate change are all cyclical it happens every decade or so for people to think that we can cause climate change is stupid in my opinion
I am in Australia ，but our reef is dead!
this is kind of horrifying to me...
Or maybe not…
I think we're too late tbh
That doesn't mean we can find another solution. Sure, a 1-2 degree change is inevitable, but we can find a solution.
Thanos was right.
I hope I live to 2050 and get to laugh at more of these catastrophic estimations.
I would suggest that we have less than 2-4 years before the greatest bulk of all reef globally is either bleached and dying, or actually dead. The primary science suggested it was on track to largely disappear by 2030 to 2035 - 8 years ago. 2023 has set us up for a level and rate of collapse that no one expected, and right now all of that warm water from El Nino (with temperatures over 31 degrees C (88 degrees F) is driving like a truck towards the coral triangle. As of right now (14 April 2024) there are local water temperatures already over 29 degrees C (85 degrees F) and rising.
...
blame it to china

So in our lifetime. We will lose the great barrier reef.
It's is very important message for students
This is so sad :(

Predicting a Cyclone are ya? Cyclones wipe out reefs. 2011 this happened. Then, it grew back...2023 record coral reef. Keep screaming.
Very boring. There is *nothing* we can do to change global temperatures. Temperatures change.
Sure....it should have been gone in 1999...AlGORE said so.....
The world is going to end by 1975.
WAAAA
They should save the Great Barrier Reef so they can move the earth a little far from the sun so there can be coral reefs around the world and there will be 50,00 ,000 ,000 ,000 corals
Meh I’ll be dead by then..
You are absolutely wrong. Climate change is already affecting us in many ways. For example, the WHO has stated that 7 million people die of air pollution each year and it also leads to more serious conditions like lung cancer and or asthma. Another result is rising water. The water is rising at 3.4 millimeters per year and that's the figure from 2016 according to Smithsonian Ocean. So in short, no you can see the results.
and they say global warming isn't real lmao
First !
It's not real its all fake😂😂😀
Is that a joke? Or are you being legitimately serious?
Bruh you're one of the oblivious, non-caring people. Its sad. idk if you're joking but i hope you are.
