Australia's Great Barrier Reef is experiencing one of the worst bleaching events since we started monitoring its activity and much of the fauna already shows serious signs of damage due to rising ocean temperatures around the world.The Australian authorities announced this, adding that scientists are still quantifying the high cumulative and irreparable damage resulting from the event.According to the data, the phenomenon reached record ocean depths and the Great Barrier was subjected to a higher level of heat stress than in any six previous mass bleaching events.“The Great Barrier Reef is an incredible ecosystem and, although it has demonstrated its resilience time and again, this summer has been particularly challenging,” commented Roger Beeden, the authorities' chief scientist. The coral bleaching it is that destructive phenomenon that can lead to the death of coral reefs and their ecosystems as the symbiosis between coral polyps and some unicellular algae is missing.Aft...

The Australian Institute of Marine Science raises the alarm about a massive potential event:the voices of experts

Humans have contended with dust storms for thousands of years, ever since early civilizations appeared in the Middle East and North Africa. But modern desert dust storms are different from their preindustrial counterparts. Around the world, deserts now increasingly border built structures, including urban dwellings, manufacturing, transportation hubs, sewage treatment and landfills. As a result, desert dust lifts a growing load of airborne pollutants and transports these substances over long distances. This is happening throughout the Global Dust Belt, an arid to semiarid region that stretches from western China through Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. Similar storms occur in the U.S. Southwest and central Australia. Global pattern of dust frequency estimated from weather records, 1974-2012.
