A sudden marine heat wave off the coast of Florida has surprised scientists and sent water temperatures soaring to unprecedented highs, threatening one of the most severe coral bleaching events the state has ever seen.
I’m not denying climate change. I was recently in Florida and it is, indeed, hot af.
The article is saying that there’s evidence that the heat is causing coral to die. They really don’t know the extent of the impact.
Vague article titles are just a pet peeve of mine. This whole article could have been summed up in less than 3 sentences.
