Worst Coral Bleaching in 20 Years Could Occur in 2015 Science Chinatopix
Scientists have said most GW has been in the oceans lately...GOP world's only major party denying GW.
Ahhhh yes, the ever popular "could". That word favored by thieves and charlatans. Did you even look at the picture? Here it is for you. One bleached coral among a whole bunch of healthy ones. I wonder what killed THIS one, because clearly it wasn't global warming which would have killed them all.
And, buried within the text is the fact that El Ninos are the primary cause. Hmmmmm, so we're supposed to accept the word of these people who can't even report accurately what is occurring.
"Massive coral bleaching only happens during El Niño events, a periodic warming phase in the Pacific that occurs every two to seven years. It lasts several months to a year and has a chain reaction of atmospheric and climatological events."

Yup, only 80% of the Caribbean and 40% of Keys coral reefs DIED from bleaching from 1980 to 2005. No problem. Brainwashed jackass. CHANGE THE CHANNEL.
Coral Reef Restoration Is Critical In Saving The Florida Keys
Did you even bother to read your link dumbshit? No, I think not. Here is the critical paragraph for you. I think even a person as stupid as you can figure out what it means...
"All types of coral have experienced some form of impact, with some experiencing severer damage with slower growth rate than others. Most notable is elkhorn coral. This type of coral has been
seriously affected by a bacteria found from the runoff due to a sewage treatment process."
So you see. It's not global warming but all the shit you spew is running down to the oceans and polluting the oceans and killing the corals. Do you understand asshat? You are long on insults and remarkably short on actual facts.
Typical of all of your kind.

Sure, idiot. Elkhorn is only one kind of coral, and even that wouldn't happen without hotter oceans, where most of the change has happened recently. This subject is new to hater dupes, of corse. Change the channel. There are 80 more out there that aren't hateful, ignorant bs. Oh, COMMIES! lol
So, I finished reading the link you provided. Guess what. No mention of "globull warming" as the cause of the coral bleaching. What they did cite though is not surprising. At least not to someone who actually reads books and not political websites published by comic book editors, such as yourself. So read the link you so kindly provided and learn something you ignorant toad.
"One of the primary reasons behind the fast die off of the coral reefs is due to the sudden decimation of about 99% of the diadema sea urchins. These urchins were critical to the overall health of the coral reefs as they consumed the algae covering the coral.
Without the urchins acting as a cleaning agent, the coral reefs were overtaken with bad algae which not only choked them, it made coral spawning less productive.
Spawning typically occurs in August and September during the full moon and varies by types of coral. When the coral spawns, and the new coral is in it's larvae stage, they require a place to land so they can grow. If the reefs are covered with an algae slime, the larvae have nothing to grip on to.
The ultimate coral reef restoration goal is to plant the coral, while placing a certain number of sea urchins with them. The problem facing everyone involved in coral reef restoration, is that the larvae stage of the sea urchins is incredibly delicate.
Scientists have no problem breeding the sea urchins, the challenge is sustaining them through their larvae stage."

And why did the sea urchins die out? Good question, two strains of bacteria are currently suspected as the culprits, but you know what isn't? That's riiiight, globull warming is not a suspect, not in the slightest. Must suck to be wrong so often.
"Diadema Sea Urchins are numerous, widespread, and of great ecological importance. This became obvious when in 1983 more than 97 % of the formerly common Caribbean species D. antillarum, also called Long-spined Sea Urchin, died of unknown reasons – maybe 2 species of bacteria were responsible (Clostridium perfringens and C. sordelli). Within short time macro-algae, which formerly were kept very short by D. antillarum, developed well and overgrew the reef corals. Subsequently the corals died by lack of sun light for their symbiotic micro-algae (70 % coral cover in the decades before compared to presently less than 10 %). The macro-algae also passively collected sediments and the reefs were complete changed. Many other inhabitants of the reefs did no longer find enough shelter or food and were consumed by larger predators – the complete ecosystem collapsed – the greatest marine catastrophe ever recorded in human history. D. antillarum has not yet recovered because of difficulties to reproduce and humans try to help the species with transfer programs to aggregate the scattered specimens, artificial reefs and breeding in captivity which is quite difficult. There are economical consequences, too, since tourists which formerly enjoyed the amazing reefs fail to come."
