Great Barrier Reef Warming, Coral Bleaching Driven By Cloud Radiative Forcing, Not Humans

For decades Great Barrier Reef (GBR) warming and coral bleaching have often been assumed to be driven by human greenhouse gas emissions and/or El NiƱo events. But a new study finds a much larger and more robust correlation between natural cloud cover modulation of solar radiation, shallow-water warming, and bleaching. It has taken over 260 … Continue reading Great Barrier Reef Warming, Coral Bleaching Driven By Cloud Radiative Forcing, Not Humans
