The document discusses the potential impacts of climate change on the Great Barrier Reef. Rising sea temperatures have caused mass coral bleaching events in 2016, 2017, and 2020 that have damaged over 90% of corals in some regions. If global warming continues unabated, the long-term outlook is poor and the Reef is likely to experience more frequent bleaching events with less recovery time between them.
