I was reading this today and it sad not that we can do much about it, its not a new thing but supposedly 2016 saw the worst bleaching event in a long time

Nature works on reversals. The waters around Australia have been warm, witch slows easterlies and in turn allows El Ni?o to form. This will change. Pacific decadal oscillation has entered a cool phase and will remain there until it flips back to warm in another 20-25 years. The Atlantic is also entering a cool phase, and solar activity is so low it can only be compared to what happened before the little ice age.

where did you read this about the change. If we are going to have a little ice age you would think no one would be worried about global warming.

its a shame

Never said we were heading into a lil ice age. Althou interglacial periods last around 11,500 years, and our current interglacial that we're enjoying started around 11,500 years ago. Also proven throu history that there's a warm spike before a glacial period. Is going to happen now?, idk
The oceans flip from warm phase to cool phase every 35 years. At the end of the last cool phase everyone was screaming an ice age is coming. The same way everyone now is screaming agw. Solar cycles are less predictable. Our current solar cycle, 24, is lower than anyone would have guessed.
The planet has been getting warmer, that can't be denied. But according to proven history easily predicted because of the medieval warm period of 800 years ago. Look up "800 year lag". The planet was much warmer then, for much longer. Way before the industrial revolution. And that wasn't the only warm period, there were more severe events.
We are screwing up the planet in ways that we prolly will never fully comprehend. But man made co2 isn't one of them. It's a political ploy. A tainted science. C02 goes up because the planet is getting warmer, not the other way around.

So according to that
the great Barrier reef could move to deeper water where its cooler and less sun penetration

I wonder how much the fukushima disaster has to do with the bleaching. I dont think its the primary cause, but I do think its probably a factor.
