What changes have happened to the Great Barrier Reef?
During the past couple of years there have been major changes to the Great Barrier Reef of Queensland, Australia. Threats to the reef have increased steadily over the years despite the work of the authorities. Therefore, the reef has undertook a massive change in its ecosystem. Some of these include:Harmful substances such as toxic chemicals, sewage and rubbish are threatening the vast range of plants and animals that live on the reef.Climate change and global warming have largely affected the environment of the Great Barrier Reef, bleaching the coral and killing off certain plant and animal species.Overfishing is also a threat as the once many species of colorful fish are now gone forever as the result of disrupting the food chain.

Is the Great Barrier Reef the smallest coral reef in the world?
No. At the present moment, the Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system. It is, however, shrinking, and it is unknown by how much, or whether this is permanent. 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 than 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. There is evidence that the coral goes down much deeper than first thought, and this is an important factor in its regeneration. For this reason, it may well always be the largest barrier reef in the world.
Is it true that for the past 40 years the global temperature has been increasing?
Yes, significantly since the 1880's.
In past years were temperature and carbon dioxide usually at the same rate?
Yes, carbon dioxide levels remained at 280 ppm for many thousands of years, together with an even temperature, before the Industrial Revolution.
What is the environmental issue in the Great Barrier Reef?
The Great Barrier Reef is subject to a number of environmental issues. 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. The Crown of Thorns starfish still remains one of the biggest threats as well. It is difficult to get an answer on how much climate change is affecting the Great Barrier Reef. It is known to be shrinking, but it is uncertain 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.
