I saw some of the bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef, we have pretty much the same in our Florida and Caribbean reefs. And yes, population growth international corporations are taking their toll on the environment. Unfortunately we have the corporate media sowing the seeds of doubt and greed here and they propaganda gets IMHO the wrong people elected to most offices.
As things get worse, there is a growing consciousness about saving the planet creeping into politics. I hope it grows stronger quickly enough, and hope it's not too late.
All in all we that care need to do what we can.
BTW, I flew to Brisbane, rented a car and did some of the natural parks, then flew up to Cairns and rented a car for the reef and rain forest (got all the way to Cape Trib). After that flew to Darwin, rented the camper, drove down the Stuart Hwy to Kangaroo Island and then along the bottom to Sidney taking in Adelaide and Melbourne in between.
You still have a lot of natural resources to save, I truly hope you all can.
