Let's Talk About the Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system composed of about 3,000 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2,300 kilometers over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometers. The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia, and it is one of the living wonders of the world.  And it is almost a certainty that it will die in the not too distant future.

I was in Queensland last summer, which was the first time in 35 years that I had been there.  It is still well worth visiting, and the natural beauty as well as the shear vastness of it is a thing to behold.  The lighter color in the photo above is the reef as I saw it one day that summer.  And the fish abound at this point, even if some of the coral is dead. 
The reality of climate change is everywhere, if you are just paying attention.  Great is right.  The injustice that we have done to her generation by ignoring it is inexcusable.
This is one gigantic example of it.
The young are coming for us for this inattention to the health and safety of our only home, and their fury is understandable.
