Recent, Harmful Coral Bleaching Generally Attributed by Scientists to Global Warming
- "Also, the incidence of coral bleaching has increased worldwide since 1979, and scientists now generally link these mass bleachings to global warming. The largest bout of coral bleaching ever (1997-1998) occurred during the warmest 12-month period on record and in nearly every region of the world. It was a wake-up call that global warming was not just a distant threat." - excerpt from the article at http://www.oceansalive.org/explore.cfm?subnav=article&contentID=4704
