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, with most corals expected to die by 2100, which would fundamentally alter the Reef ecosystem.
