It is well known that the world’s warmest oceans are in the region of Indonesia, the Philippines, and the Solomon Islands,” Moore wrote in the essay. “This area is called the Coral Triangle and it harbors the world’s largest number of coral species and the largest number of reef fish and other reef dwellers. Surely this puts to rest the assertion that the seas are ‘too hot’ for corals due to climate change. e added: “How is the average person in Europe or North America supposed to “see for themselves” what is really occurring? Not only is the reef thousands of miles away from most people and far offshore, it is below the surface of the sea. Hundreds of millions of people were told the reef was doomed when we now know much of the bleached coral has already recovered. But that fact was barely reported in major media outlets. Fake news flies, the real story dies.
