What impacts have people had on the Great Barrier Reef?
It's diminished because of global warming and pollution, I think.
When was The Great Global Warming Swindle created?
The Great Global Warming Swindle was created in 2007.
What is the duration of The Great Global Warming Swindle?
The duration of The Great Global Warming Swindle is 1.25 hours.
Is the Great Barrier Reef protected?
A large part the the Great Barrier Reef is protected in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. However, there are still threats to the reef. They include mass coral bleaching (due to global warming), chemicals from runoff, and population breakouts of crown of thorns starfish.
How do environmental changes affect the Great Barrier Reef?
Environmental changes, like global warming, can affect the Great Barrier Reef quite substantially. When the water temperature rises, it forces the coral to expel what they use as energy, and bleaches the coral.
What is the environmet in the great plains?
Global Warming
How can you help the Great Barrier Reef?
Stop pollution, littering, overfishing, oil and other chemical spills, boats damaging coral, GLOBAL WARMING or 'climate change'.
What are some of the threats to the health of the great barrier reff?
Increase in acidity of the oceans water, the crown of thorn star fish, polluted coastal run of, Global warming, shipping.
What are the three signs in Australia of global warming?
Rising temperatures, longer summers, shorter winters.Climate changes: times of droughts, extreme and unusual floods.Damage to the Great Barrier Reef, with some coral bleached and dying.
What happens when there is great amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas which is causing Global Warming. When there is a great amount of it in the atmosphere, then it absorbs a great amount of heat. This makes Global Warming worse.
Is the Great Barrier Reef endangered?
The Great Barrier Reef does not have an official listing of "endangered". However, it is certainly at risk from various factors, and it is known to be shrinking, but it is unknown by how much. Climate scientists who subscribe to the theory of anthropogenic global warming (i.e. caused by man's activities) predict that the Great Barrier Reef may lose up to 95% of its coral by the middle of the current century. Although the coastline parallel to the Great Barrier Reef has been settled by Europeans for less then 200 years, these scientists believe that the Reef has been shrinking by 20% every 100 years.Climate scientists who subscribe to the theory that global warming is cyclical perhaps have a less drastic view, as they believe that the coral will regenerate, as it has apparently done so in the past. It is a very emotive topic.However, it should be noted that pollution and chemical runoff pose a very real threat to the reef. Mud and chemical runoff tend to limit the sunlight that reaches the coral, causing it to die off. Global warming issues aside, the Great Barrier Reef is most definitely shrinking.It should also be noted that some 40 species which live in and around the Great Barrier Reef are listed as endangered.
What are the effects of deforestation on a country's economic development?
deforestation is a great contributer to global warming
