If they had shown a record of the last 20k years of sea level rises due to climate change it would show that the Great barrier reef was 130 m above sea level until relatively recently.
Yeah, so sad. It’s almost like this planet we live on has evolved millions of times over billions of years. Imagine how utterly insane we are believing we can stop it from evil wing or that we are the reason why it’s still evolving?
It always happens and is natural. Corals release bacteria and other growth every few years, to make room for new growth. That is what give coral its amazing colours. Take a look at the site "Reef Rebels" if you want facts from a scientist who has lived all his life on the GBR and studies it for decades.
its a natural process it goes through every few decades. Come back in 6-12 months and the coral is back again, but now with different microbial bacteria living on it and hence, probably a different colour. Take a look at "Reef Rebels" Channel here on YT, if you want FACTUAL info.
Seeinf so many ignorant comments here just proves that we are doomed. It's not even enraging at this point, just really really sad 😢 People really think their food is produced in the supermarket.
@@Aloh-od3ef It's not that simple. Some places were warmer, while others were cooler than present day temperatures. The circumstances were different, as there weren't 8+ billion people on the planet who relied on a steady supply of food. Quality of life was not great for the population of the time.

Yeah my uncle was told smoking was bad for 20 years as well. Then when his lungs failed he finally believed them and try to fix it. Want to guess how that turned out?
I’ll believe climate change is a threat when the government starts denying it. Until then, I put it in the category of things they use to take power and wealth.
For me, this is the number one reason not to have children. Anyone born in the last 10/15 years are going to end up going to war for liveable farm land and drinkable water. They’ll despise us for our inaction and complicity, rightly so.
The Great Barrier Reef's coral cover reached the greatest extent ever recorded in 2022, 2023 and 2024 (AIMS) despite reports of supposed repeated bleaching. If you look at the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN) data, the WIO (West Indian Ocean) shows 26% hard coral cover in 1985 upto 30% in 2020. South Asia reefs shows a decline around 2000 to below 25% then a regrowth to around 40% (2010) and a decline to 25% (2020). The Red Sea shows no change at around 25% (1995-2020). So the pattern in these three areas show no relationship to each other or to a changing climate. The Caribbean region reefs have a cover of around 0.15 ± 0.02. There is no evidence of a major reduction in coral cover in the Caribbean over the last two decades. GCRMN data for the most important coral bioregion, the East Asia Seas, with 30% of the world’s coral reefs, and containing the most diverse coral of the ‘Coral Triangle’, show no statistically significant net coral loss since records began. The East Asia region has the biggest human population living in close proximity to reefs, and is located in the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool - the hottest major water mass on earth. Life is most diverse in the warmest parts of the world’s oceans. This has been shown across 13 major taxonomic groups from zooplankton to marine mammals. Warmer water = more biodiversity. This is a scare story about things you cannot see. Have children.
You always notice the climate change skeptics are always absent from these videos were the evidence is right in front of our eyes and it is so devastating for our natural world and the wonders in it.
*third world countries, China/many other Asian countries/ Africa countries, and corporations and politicians who send jobs over there because there’s less climate regulations and they don’t have to pay workers as much and then act like the good guys trying to fight climate change; should be more concerned.* There fixed your comment.
This summer, I have planted 23 mango trees. Each of us should plant and nurture a tree to good health. It would do wonders for our planet. What do you think ?
Yes we saw your other comment. While it's great you did, if everyone planted mango trees, there wouldn't be biodiversity. Something we can all do that will actually help the planet is to stop buying fast fashion, for example and stop using plastic like we do. If those things changed world wide, then our planet would be radically changed.
The world still haven't learn anything from back in 2022 because that was the worst heatwaves 🥵as the temperatures went up has cause a lot of fire, drought and deaths. If the people of the world have just take this climate change very seriously and do something about it then maybe the year wouldn't have gotten worst.
Still wasn't record temps in most places. Most high records are from 30, 40, 50 years ago. And that's only using 150 years of data, which isn't a long period. So our recent temps are not concerning since they aren't breaking records.

So here is my glimmer of hope. I read that in the short time during covid that people were mostly off the roads and inside, there was a measurable improvement in air quality. So maybe if the world leaders can pull their heads out if their asses, doing something may not take as long as youd think.
Thank you for showing that Coral Reefs go through a succession 1º 2º... etc... phases as well? much like forest succession after a burn? Is that what is being implied? Thank you..
Where were these people 10,000 years ago when the world was also changing, and 10,000 years before that and so on all the way back to when the earth was formed? Climate change is natural and always gonna happen. Even without us.
@DarylSolis They rely on the human narcissist complex to sell this. If people stop believing it's all about their actions they whole narrative comes crumbling down.
Human civilization - crucially, our food systems - have developed during a period of climate stability. It is not going to handle this rate of change well. Neither will most ecosystems. "Life on Earth" in a broad sense will eventually adjust and recover, of course. The next intelligent species might have a harder timer of it, given that we've extracted and dispersed so many of the mineral resources that we used to climb the tech ladder (copper, tin, iron, coal).
So are you volunteering to go back to living like a caveman? Because that would solve both our problems. it took 10.000 years for the average temp to go up 2 degrees and end the last proper iceage. We are now adding another 2 over the course of a century . The idea that we have no impact on this is short bus thinking

The recovery is turning the reef into a monoculture since those are the few species that can better tolerate the warmer temps. But they’re more vulnerable to crown of thorns predation and disease.
CO2 have both a corrosive/abrasive and a warm dividing effect. The empirical experiment by placing an ice cube in fresh water of room temperature and an ice cube in plain sparkling water (with only extra CO2, no extra sugar, salt...) with same room temperature show that the ice cube in the latter melts first - or rather the "melting" starts with a lot of energetic CO2 bubbles hitting the ice cube causing eddies breaking and mixing currents near the ice cube, tearing it faster down. Opposite what we get with the fluids of low (fridge) temperature - then the ice cube in fresh water melts first. CO2-molecules transfer heat among the molecules through water layers of a bit higher temperature - these layers are less dense than the melting cool water, meaning the heat transfer is easier to happen in warm layers. The nature rule of least resistance. After some time there is so much cool water that it suddenly collides with the warm layers, so we get more rapid melting. But that's too late. But if we introduce a little stirring and do the experiments again, we get same melting time! So we should avoid having flat sea beds (by trawling) surrounding coral reefs, but have a lot of different high stones (or rough terrain) nearby to get enough eddies there (levelling by better mixing of cool and hot currents) - then less stratified water that cause more damage by sudden warm currents hitting the coral reefs.
Everyones crying about burning coal, but nobodys crying for the poor souls whos digging the coal. This world is going straight to hell with a change upon us so terrifying, so profound, so scary that not many can actually see whats REALLY going on in our world and whats REALLY coming upon our existence.

@@growdaddy4281 I dont care where you live - its what you know. You are speaking about a local area - not the whole reef and the bleaching hasnt started yet. Areas of the reef are affected differently - its not a uniform thing. Tell me about it after it happens

The planet was slightly cooling for six thousand years and heading towards another glaciation until the beginning of the Industrial Era when it began rapidly warming due to anthropogenic CO2 emissions. CO2 levels are the highest for at least two million years, probably longer. The next glaciation has been put on indefinite hold because of CO2 levels.

Went and had a look for myself - it looked better than it did 50 years ago, so I'm more inclined to believe the report at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-24kGGAVDslE.html. The problem is that good news on the reef is not good for funding.
Man, the right-wing is just amazing aren’t they. The property isn’t a sea level. It’s significantly above sea level for Martha’s Vineyard. So there are a lot of right-wing media who are lying. Or they’re declaring things true when they don’t know what they’re talking about. I wonder which it is? The logic displayed in some of the articles about this is just astounding. For instance, anyone who enjoys or goes to the beach must not believe in climate change. Wow. That’s kind of like saying that if you own a gun but don’t carry it around then you’re a hypocrite because you don’t think the gun is valuable for personal safety. Or like a weatherman telling everyone it’s going to be hot that day but then they wear a suit and tie (obviously they must be lying or a hypocrite!). So I guess that means that if I believe in climate change but drive a car that uses gasoline I’m a hypocrite? Or that anyone who believes illegal immigration is a big problem but then doesn’t demand that every contractor they hire (to paint, to cut their lawn, to clean the community pool, to clean their office, to repair their) provide proof of citizenship-they must be a hypocrite, right? The OP is amazing: “the theory of human-caused climate change.” OP, it’s not a theory. We have theories about what elements have the most impact or how quick it will develop or how much extreme weather we’ll see. But there is no “theory of human-caused climate change” OP because we’re already seeing it. Calling that a theory is like saying it’s a theory that your parents conceived you…um, no, you already exist.

as usual most of what you’re saying is wrong. While it’s true parts of the GBR have recently recovered, it’s not the greatest coverage ever recorded reefwide. The part about biodiversity is even more blatantly wrong since the corals that are recovering are nearly a monoculture which are particularly susceptible to crown of thorns predation and disease
For those who find this comment convincing, this is the same person who repeatedly misrepresents and misunderstands the sources he cites. A previous argument of his made clear he doesn’t even know the difference between a linear and an accelerating trend. If you don’t see that as a red flag you’re hopeless
Climate change & extinction of life. ITS TO LATE! Water weight displacement has a tremendous affect on continental positions. As The ice melts the location of the water changes and applies pressure on different regions around the world causing subduction zones to accelerate advancing the movement of geographical regions. As the tundra warms up it is releasing 2X more carbon into our atmosphere than what currently exists. the rate of carbon release increases as the tundra warms up while the increased carbon levels speed up the tundra thaw rate advancing the ice melt progression Speed. Alignment with solar entities also affect the push and pull affect on the planet also contributing to regional movements of land mass. Over this next 10 years you will see mass movement of continents around the world as the ice in the north and south melt while displacing the weight through water distribution. The weight of the ice won’t be there anymore causing the land mass to rise and the water will relocate to the equator adding weight affecting the shape of the earth resulting in extensive land mass movement. Atmospheric pressure will also be a contributing factor as there will be more water evaporation and condensation with precipitation all over the earth. The earth crust is floating and being recycled over time. Spring and autumn are much shorter seasons compared to a decade ago. 2027-2034 are going to be a period of time where mass effect on planetary events/climate change will dramatically disrupt global agriculture. Add into the equation the unpredictable forest fires, the ongoing wars igniting oil fires and the possible use of nuclear weapons while Factoring in the radiation we are currently subjecting our atmosphere to with cell phone towers, wifi routers, and 5-6G satellites. it seems futile combating the inevitable. As the ice melts from the north and south the water displacement around earth will redistribute weight on tectonic plates all over the world. This will accelerate the movement of subduction zones causing massive earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and continental shifts. The extra water will lead to excessive rain/storms causing landslides and flooding everywhere advancing the severity of the temperatures, wind speeds, humidity and electrical activity. The Hudson Bay will eventually rupture the North American continent from the Hudson Bay to the Mississippi all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. The subduction zone’s on the west coast will slide under the continent. Mount Saint Helens and Yellowstone super volcano will erupt. We are already seeing this in process with earthquakes, flooding and volcanoes most recently in Japan, Russia, Italy, Iceland, Hawaii, China, east central North America and India. It’s recommended to be 500km away from oceans, 500ft above sea levels, 500km away from subduction zones and 500 km west of any volcanic zones. These will be the safest places but you will still have to figure out how you are going to sustain yourself in the recommended area’s. Global mass migration is inevitable. Billion’s or people and animals will perish and food shortages will be overwhelming. Diseases will be unprecedented. In addition consider what’s going to happen to all the nuclear power plants, weapons and waste with mass depopulation. Sadly Tibet, New Zealand and Antarctica are probably going to be the best places to be. Earth probably won’t be inhabitable for the next 30k years. Greed, pursuit of power, ego and selfishness is the downfall of humanity as we enter the extinction of life on earth.
It's a good thing that Australia's aborigines left such accurate thermometers and perfect records on the cave walls. The English came in 1788 and continued the daily temperature measurements. We can hardly predict the weather for the next 8 weeks - but we know exactly how warm the sea was there 400 years ago.🤣
Where are they getting this 400 years idea? If your records really go back to 1788, that's only 236 years. And worldwide, records started in 1880. Where are they getting this 400 years number?
@@makt122 did you even watch the video? At 1:11 it showed them drilling into coral reefs to analyse the chemical makeup of the coral in the past. It's like studying tree rings to tell what sort of conditions happened in previous years. Surely that's not too hard to understand?
@@makt122 No it's not. They analyse the recent layers and compare it to the temperatures that were recorded in those years. Then they use that to work out what conditions were like before temperature recordings were possible. Sounds pretty straightforward to me.
Who's gonna stop the rising temperature of the sea if its cause is from the shift of rotation axis rather than fossil fuel combustion? Lives under water is not the only one to be destined to dooms. On the land, in the air, nothing can survive without paying serious price for that. It's been predicted so long that we should pull through the most harrowing moments of survival in this era. If the climate change stems from the rotation of the axis and in which I believe is the true cause of all disasters impending soon.
Reefs can live up to 10,000 years old. Pretty sure there is technology to know through the layers of the sediments the temperature centuries ago. Just like they can unveil the levels of CO2 in snow. No wonder we are where we're at, these people are literal 🐵's
@@cosmo588 The coral reefs have layers of sediments. Each layer contains information of what the water was like at that time. That's how they do it with ice and are able to understand what was happening thousands of years ago. Science is hard, it's simpler and easier to not think at all, we know.

South Asia reefs shows a decline around 2000 to below 25% then a regrowth to around 40% (2010) and a decline to 25% (2020). The Red Sea shows no change at around 25% (1995-2020). So the pattern in these three areas show no relationship to each other or to a changing climate. The Caribbean region reefs have a cover of around 0.15 ± 0.02. There is no evidence of a major reduction in coral cover in the Caribbean over the last two decades. GCRMN data for the most important coral bioregion, the East Asia Seas, with 30% of the world’s coral reefs, and containing the most diverse coral of the ‘Coral Triangle’, show no statistically significant net coral loss since records began. The East Asia region has the biggest human population living in close proximity to reefs, and is located in the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool - the hottest major water mass on earth. Life is most diverse in the warmest parts of the world’s oceans. This has been shown across 13 major taxonomic groups from zooplankton to marine mammals. Warmer water = more biodiversity. This is a scare story about things you cannot see.

It’s ok, it always grows back greater……yr already a part of the problem with all the geoengineering programmes for decades, no wonder yr screwing most things up 🤫
Too many Vehicles on the Roads!. There needs to be a No Drive Month! Only emergency Vehicles permitted on the roads!. You can Walk to work! or use Public Transportation! Bicycles! Electric Scooter!. Too many Trucks! also!. Bring back HORSE AND CARRIAGES!.
And what are your qualifications? Why should I trust the hot take of some ignorant, arrogant guy in a youtube comment section rather than an expert who knows infinitely more than you on this subject?
IF you believe in The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection... adaptation (which I do, but with more than a nod to the contribution of mutation) then you have to believe that corals will eventually adapt to warmer water... one less thing to worry about, then!
Yes but evolution takes years, even hundreds of years. They have adapted to changes in the past, but this change is happening so rapidly they cannot keep up. Stop brushing off the issues with climate change
Correct me if I am wrong but the adaptation time is normally longer then a few decades. It is more like a few centruries or even thousands and millions of years. This is all going to freakishly fast. Remember the dino's? That happend rather quickly...and bye bye.
The theory of evolution by natural selection is completely meaningless. If it were true, we wouldn't have so many, how to put, not very bright folks like you lurking around today.
@@westtxmutt manmade climate change is certainly real. I imagine you are just uneducated on the topic, yes? I recommend picking up a book or reading a few things about it in order to get a better understanding on how it works. It is certainly real.
@westtxmutt we should all try and reduce the overload of co2 that is being produced if we can (like not supporting fast fashion companies, planting more trees etc…) because that is what is causing climate change because of the greenhouse effect, but yeah nobody’s forcing people to help but if we want to solve this problem we need to reduce c02 emissions
