No, high water temperatures are.

Created by the El Nino and a high pressure system. What a maroon.

What is a maroon?

But it is interesting that you have once again flipped flopped from your original position that ocean warming didn't cause the coral bleaching. You can't even remain consistent in the one thread.

So you see it is a true measure of Sea SURFACE Temperature and shouldn't be used to justify bleaching.

You can't be taken seriously when you are always changing your position to suit yourself. It confirms that you are just a troll wasting our time.

No. What I said was that here was no evidence of ocean warming for the latest coral bleaching. Remember I said coral bleaching can be caused by sudden temperature changes up and down.

Yes Sea Surface Temperatures, those areas to about 1/50th of a mm. How many corals live at the surface?

Well if it did not hit 40ºC then the 10ºC you claim to hit would be less than 30ºC.

You are the only one quoting figures. What is the significance of the 10ºC, anyway?

According to the figures temperatures vary between a about a maximum of 30-31.5ºC and a minimum of 23.0 - 23.7ºC for January - March.

https://www.great-barrier-reef.com/great-barrier-reef-weather.html

So only a variation of about 8.5ºC.

You are a blithering 1D10T
