Great Barrier Reef faced with irreversible damage

The Great Barrier Reef will be irreversibly damaged by climate change in just 16 years, according to leading reef researcher Ove Hoegh-Guldberg.

The reef has lost about half its coral coverage since the mid-1980s, with increased carbon dioxide concentrations contributing about 10 per cent alongside damage from other sources such as invasive species and farm nutrient run-off, Professor Hoegh-Guldberg, a professor of marine science at the University of Queensland, said.

wow......"variability" ?!......next they will change the name of the Dept Of Environment to the Dept Of Variability...

......this should make the urgent environmental issues go away, not.

With Hunt as Minister I can think of a few other name changes, not allowed here though.

US President Barack Obama, who has vowed to make fighting global warming a focus of his remaining years in office, unveiled initiatives to mitigate what aides say are the effects of an already changing climate.

The proposals, spread throughout Obama's 2015 budget blueprint to Congress, include an overhaul of the way the government pays for fighting wildfires, more money for satellites to track extreme weather and a $US1 billion ($1.1 billion) resiliency fund to help communities deal with heavier rainstorms, higher storm surges or more intense droughts.

“We are beginning to recognise that the climate is changing, despite the efforts we are taking to affect the trajectory,” Gina McCarthy, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, told reporters. “The president has great hope that the Congress will see the resiliency fund as having great impact on communities across the United States.”

To vary something is to change it I suppose it just doesn't sound permanent???

Is it to stop alarming people?
