Corals Bleaching in the wild

[Aquadicted]

I'm just curious as to your collective thoughts on world wide bleaching. I'm sure, like me, you have or had temperature fluctuations with the corals doing fine. They say it's the rise in temperature that's causing these massive bleachings but I'm thinking there must be more to the story right? Can't just be temperature. I know water pollution is suspect too but wouldn't that be easily tracked via waste routes?

Thoughts?

when i was down in bermuda snorkling I saw lots of nice brain corals that were bleaching... they said it was due to climate change and people touching the corals... it was deffinetly a sad sight
