More than one-third of the coral in the northern and central parts of the Great Barrier Reef is dead or dying, scientists said. The chief culprit for the mass bleaching1 of the past two months is high water temperatures—partly from the El Ni?o weather phenomenon, but aggravated2 by global warming. A cyclone3 lowered temperatures in the reef’s southern part.
