Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Great Barrier
Reef: Two-thirds damaged in 'unprecedented' bleaching
While super
elite entrepreneurs are trying to realize their dreams to travel space as
posted in yesterday’s Topic Reading, there are clear and present danger on the
mother planet that needs immediate and decisive actions. Despite the status of
World Heritage, Australia's Great Barrier Reef, one of the most irreplaceable and
valuable natural beauties, is found to be in critical condition. The area of
the coral reefs that is severely bleached seems to have stretched to 1,500km especially
in the middle section, in addition to the already bleached northern section.
The bleaching is usually caused by rising water temperatures as well as stress
to the natural treasure. Global warming is mainly to blame because waters
absorb most of the increase in the Earth’s heat.
Everyone
knows the sooner effective actions are taken, the better the chance for
recovery, if it’s not too late.
Enjoy reading
and thinking which project should be prioritized, space traveling or nature
conservation.
