Yep. And news sites need to report that instead of "There could be no more reefs by 2050" bs. The headlines are pure clickbait these days.

>Humans only live ~70 years

That's only due to fossil fuels. Around 120 years ago the global life expectancy was around 32 years old... Cheap energy is a requirement to lift people out of crushing poverty.

Highest Great Barrier Reef coral cover in 36 years

This after being told by scientists that we wouldn't have barrier reefs soon^(tm).

The Great Barrier Reef is at a critical tipping point and could disappear by 2050

We really need to tone down the alarmism as it really doesn't help.
