WWF you are out of touch. Why do you fail to mention government dumped sewage nutrient pollution? Do you receive funding from governments? Don't get me wrong, I think governments do an excellent job generally. Perhaps you are using climate change to cover up failure that is allowing the severe and general degradation of marine environment occurring already.

Explain how climate change is causing damage to coral apparent in the photograph at:

Coral will and can only survive within a certain temperature range. Climate change increases temperature to beyond the range needed for a coral reef to live. Your SUGGESTION for the sewerage nutrient problem is what ?. I mean apart from continually moaning about it, how about ANY suggestion on how to fix the problem. ANYONE can whinge.

If you actually know, what is that certain temperature?

Sewage nutrient pollution of coastal ecosystem waters can be reduced in various ways. Sometimes there is need to moan and whinge to get truth known and solutions happening. There has not been ANYONE else letting you know about this nutrient pollution feeding algae that is killing seagrass and coral including in Moreton Bay Brisbane.

Look closely at the green and stringy type algae on the coral, in video at:
