A new study on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef showed that corals are continuously exposed to two key climate change-related stressors throughout the year, but not necessarily at the same time. The results can help scientists better monitor the exposure of coral reef ecosystems to global climate change.

…realities of the Paris Climate Change, they must also recognize that pollution has many distinct effects. For there is more to climate change than higher temperatures, say UC San Diego scientists David G. Victor and Veerabhadran Ramanathan in the newly published essay “The Next Front on Climate Change: How to…
